How to Combat Misinformation

Q: How are you going to combat misinformation?

 

Answer

Misinformation is one of the biggest threats to our democracy, and we can’t let it go unchecked. I will combat it by:

Transparency – Always providing clear facts and sources so people can make informed decisions.
Calling it out – Exposing false claims and not letting lies spread unchallenged.
Engaging with experts – Ensuring policies are based on evidence and facts, not fear or political spin.
Community support – With the help of my engaged supporters, we can shut down misinformation when we see it, keeping the conversation honest and accountable.

I also strongly support truth in political advertising laws to stop misleading campaign tactics that manipulate voters and undermine trust in our democracy. Together, we can make sure Fairfax voters get the facts—not just the spin.
