The Harvard-educated Marine veteran is emphasizing jobs, climate change and national security as core issues he'll address in his run for the White House.
Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, who announced a 2020 presidential bid Monday, will likely use his military experience to differentiate himself on national security and defense issues as he faces a competitive Democratic field.
In an op-ed for The Des Moines Register earlier this month, Moulton said he originally signed on to the Green New Deal when it was an"open framework" in order to turn it into a jobs package that will reduce climate change. In his announcement video, Moulton vowed to cut"massive weapons programs we don't need so that we have the money to invest in the future."
Moulton also wants the country to increase investment in diplomatic and foreign aid funding to"help us avoid the next wars." He's also called for granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., restoring voting rights to former felons and implementing a cyberwall to reduce interference in American elections.
"If I'm elected, I'm not going to force you off your private health care plan," Moulton said Monday on ABC's"Good Morning America."
