In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an Independent who leans Republican.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

My campaign is about positive, common-sense solutions.My positive solutions address key affordability issues by reducing the demand for fossil fuel through the use of alternative modes of transportation that are more economical to build and maintain than tollroads and deadly highways that burden taxpayers with high cost of maintenance year after year.Key federal laws -which force (with federal subsidies) municipal governments to build costly infrastructure that increases the demand for fossil fuel- must be re-written to favor alternative modes which decreases the demand for fossil fuels.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Funding. I am a budget analyst by trade. The National debt is now at $39T. The interest payment on the National debt is now the largest expenditure in the Federal Budget—the payment on the interest not the payment on the principle. Relieving inflationary pressures by lowering the cost of transportation will have a snowball effect of lowering interest rates—reducing our bill on the debt and making housing more affordable.
