Reign in the Federal debt. Balanced budget amendment. When the economy is strong, work for a surplus budget and pay down the debtThe 2 party system is no longer working. A 3rd block of 3rd party / independent representatives is required to keep either of the major parties from an outright majority.

Individual liberties, budget, immigration, foreign trade, separation of powers

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my maternal grandfather. He was once described to me as "a person I have known for all of my life, and I can't remember ever having a negative personal interaction with him". I'm not sure there is any better description to which a person should aspire

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Represent the constituency in the federal government. Report the business of the federal government to the constituency. Country over party; Branch over party.

What legacy would you like to leave?

An independent voice that helped focus the House back to the business of governing the federally mandated issues and not dividing the country apart through politics. Reducing the federal debt so that our children and grandchildren do not have to deal with a burden that we leave to them

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

It is the elected body that is closest to the citizenry. Therefore it has the powers that most directly affect the population: power of the purse, power to declare war and power to impeach

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No, the position of "representative' wasn't meant to be a career position. In fact, it wasn't even supposed to be a full-time position. Expansive growth of the federal government at the expense of States' Rights have morphed it into a body that needs to be reset quite a bit.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Appropriations, Budget, Ethics, Foreign Affairs, Oversight, Small Business, Ways and Means

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

Absolutely, and with term limits.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Absolutely necessary. Politician should not be a profession. We decided that we didn't want a ruling class about 244 years ago.

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