Schwartz said in a Ballotpedia survey that he served on a Tactical Response Force in the Air Force and decided to run because he believes regular people deserve representation that understands their challenges.[2] He listed three key messages: supporting policies that stabilize costs and provide property tax relief; protecting healthcare access and working to control prescription drug and insurance costs; and supporting police, fire and EMS services, family farms and local food access.[2] He also named education as a priority, saying schools should be properly funded and higher education should remain affordable.[2]
