Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A lifelong advocate of individual liberty, I am dedicated to championing freedom in all my endeavors. I have lived in New Jersey since 2017, currently residing in Sussex County. I am heavily involved with the New Jersey Libertarian Party, bringing liberty to my local community, and am the chapter leader for Ladies of Liberty Alliance, New Jersey. I have a clear vision to shrink the bloated government and shake up the status-quo. I cannot be bought. I cannot be intimidated.

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?

We need to dismantle the military industrial complex. I support ending all foreign aid immediately, closing all US basis overseas, reducing the military budget, withdrawing from NATO, bringing all the American soldiers home, ending taxpayer funding weapon sales and subsides to corporate arms manufacturers. We need to unite behind peace and demand congress remove our role in the continuation of global conflicts and deliberate destabilization of foreign nations.Exposing and preventing the further expansion of surveillance state. I support ending the Patriot Act and reforming all authorizations given to the Federal Government to spy on Americans. I support ending the unconstitutional provisions and laws allowing the gathering and storing of private information.Immigrants make America great. I support an “Ellis Island” style immigration system and abolishing ICE.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Foreign policy, economic freedom, free market principles, personal liberty and autonomy, property rights, upholding the constitution and limiting federal power.

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

I look up to my mother. She is an incredible woman with multiple degrees, opened a successful dance studio in Saudi Arabia (where it was illegal to dance), homeschooled my brother and I, took care of my grandmother until she passed, taught Sunday school, is incredibly kind, funny, and so much more. Her determination is inspiring. She never told herself she couldn't achieve something and instilled the same in me. I hope to achieve as much as she has. I also hope to leave the world a little be warmer, just as she has.

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

Integrity, tenacity and an unflinching dedication to their value system and principles.

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

I have a unique ability to never give up or back down. I am not easily swayed by flattery, pride, or

bribery. I listen well and can brainstorm creative solutions to tough problems.

What legacy would you like to leave?

One that I can look back on and say that I never abandoned my principles.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

McDonald's. I worked there for about a year when I was maybe 15/16.

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

No. Representatives are individuals who have been elected to representative their community. Congress should be incredibly diverse because of this. We should have a line up of representatives from different educational backgrounds, experience, age, race, political affiliation and different economic status. Yet, we don't. The two-party system pumps out the same puppets every two years.

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

The expansion of the war machine, the welfare state, corporatism, generative AI, and rising cost of living.

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

No. Two years leaves officials one year to learn the ropes and another to campaign for reelection. It's not enough time. I think a minimum of four years is better.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I do not support term limits.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

It depends on your definition of compromise. If you are contextualizing compromise as selling out your principles and making deals with evil for small wins - no. Change happens slowly and sometimes you have to celebrate the small incremental steps towards the ideal. I would support policies heading in the direction of ultimate liberty even if in the moment it isn't the radical change I would want.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

New Jersey Libertarian Party. Chase Oliver, Libertarian Presidential Candidate.
