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?

Voters are sick and tired of hyper- partisanship ! The party system is broken. 3/4th of Voters have chosen not to be members of any party! George Washington said long “the parties are nine and a nine and an engines of corruption. Loyalty to the party’s undermine the national unity !” Loyalty to party instead of loyalty to the country and community doesn’t solve problems it creates them! They create cyclical revenge and do not foster solutions.

What am I? I am a 101st Airborne Division- Gulf War Veteran , a retired Boston firefighter - EMT, a Dad of three sons and an an involved Community leader, who solves problems. I am not far left or far right! I am not a RINO or DINO . I am an I know and I know the party system is broken!Leadership , Experience, and Vision! Leadership is the process of influencing people to accomplish the mission. It’s about solving problems . When you stop listening to people, you stop solving problems. The day you stop listening to people is the day you stop being a leader! The parties are fighting, not only within their parties but against each other. People are sick and tired of them insulting those who have chosen not to be a member of their party’s despite needing them. They say things like pick a side. we have chosen aside, and it is not to be a member of any party. We are behold to no one and we won’t sell out for parties or special interest. The party’s need us more than we need the party’s! This election we own our vote in NovThis election is both evolutionary and revolutionary. The First Barnstable district has a rich history that goes back to the American revolution and has been represented by great leaders and visionaries like James Otis Junior coined the phrase taxation without representation its tyranny. The district has not been represented by the current Democrat incumbent. Because of that party loyalty no one has challenged or demanded his expulsion up on Beacon Hill. That is not leadership that is coward that is an embarrassment to our history. George Washington was prophetic in his words about the parties for this very reason. that is why this campaign is both revolutionary and evolutionary. the Democrat nominee will have to face in November a Leader
