term limits

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the common sense candidate. I have only missed 5 days of work since 1992. I am committed to dedicating my full effort to addressing the issues in this country. We need to take the D and R out of our politics and remember we are all Americans first. This country has problems that can be solved but we need people willing to look for solutions and do what is right for our country, leaving the political circus behind us.

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?

By voting for me, you'll have a representative dedicated to serving all residents in this district with unwavering commitment every day.While many elected officials discuss term limits, I intend to prioritize it early on in my tenure. Some members of Congress have turned their service into a long-standing career, losing sight of community service in the process.To achieve progress, we must seek solutions that benefit our country. Regardless of political affiliations, we shouldn't let partisan ties hinder us from addressing issues and doing what is in the best interest of our nation.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm particularly enthusiastic about implementing term limits and introducing innovative perspectives to Congress for effective problem-solving. Selling large quantities of oil from our strategic reserves without a restocking plan is a shared concern. We need sensible, bipartisan solutions that prioritize the well-being of all Americans. I'm committed to collaborating across political lines to enhance our nation's security, including securing our borders.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

A fundamental principle for elected officials, especially in their roles as Congresspersons, is prioritizing what is right for America over personal political beliefs. Serving the best interests of the entire nation, not just a faction, is crucial for the well-being of all Americans.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

The qualities I bring include a commitment to be present daily, dedicating my full effort to seek answers and solutions for our challenges. I'm open to engaging with anyone, regardless of political background, who shares a common goal of finding solutions.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

In the coming decade, the United States will face various challenges, including producing fuel, energy, and food. Strengthening our nation is crucial to deter military challenges, emphasizing robust borders to prevent terrorist threats. Yet, fostering unity, gratitude, and aligning our actions with shared values is perhaps among the most vital aspects of our collective responsibility.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Just as the presidency has term limits, the Senate and Congress of the United States should also be subject to such limits.
