Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

I believe 4 years would be better. However I do believe that representatives should not stay in office any longer than 10 years.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe that Every elected position should have term limits. Although wisdom is greatly appreciated, I cannot justify 1 person representing a district or a group of people for Multiple generations. If elected, I commit myself to only staying in the seat for a total of 10 years before I concede so that way the district can continue to have fresh ideas through fresh and competent leadership.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I would like to model myself after Barbara Jordan.
