Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Lucus Devan Faulk. Born and raised in Bethera, South Carolina I can honestly understand what the small town way of life is for the "little man". The hardships faced each and every day by the common people is where I come from. I work for a living and I always have; if I wanted something I had to work for it. My mission is to restore the common man and woman back into the political spectrum. Their voices need to be heard rather than the businessmen, lawyers, and corporate elite that currently hold power in all forms.

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?

Reward The WorkerReshape America's Justice SystemLive and Let Live

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The Working Class - Too many perfectly healthy people sit idle and are rewarded for such activity. Meanwhile many more people of all ages toil day in and day out to make a living and these people are hardly commended for the work they do. I propose to encourage work through several proposals that benefit each and every WORKER and will give the idle a chance to reconsider their lifestyle for a chance to WORK.

America's Justice System - Making punishments much harsher for individuals convicted of child crimes, rape, murder, and other violent crimes.

Freedom of Speech & Lifestyle - The one thing people have slowly forgotten to do over the past few decades; is to mind their business. Live and let live.

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

My Father and Grandfather(s). Morals were a major thing growing up and these men instilled the finest ones a man could ask for in me as a child coming up.

Historical Figures:

George Washington (He was an original American Patriot and the one who kept this nation in the fight during the Revolutionary War.)

Huey Long & FDR: They genuinely cared about the American people. Particularly the low and middle class.

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

The ability to bring together the people as a whole. The ability to understand the common man and woman needs.

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

To see that honesty prevails and greed exposed.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A lasting legacy to help all the working class people of this country prosper in ways never before seen and to promote the values of hard work and labor as a road to success.

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

My very first job was a "summer job" with the U.S Forest Service at the age of 15. I wanted a vehicle and the only way I could acquire one would be to get to work and earn it.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

The Man With No Name - Clint Eastwood

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

Absolutely not, career politicians have been the downfall of this country.

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

The wealth gap between the working class and top percentile will only continue to expand.

The punishments for violent crimes will only continue to get softer unless something drastic is done to address it.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits are a great way to cycle through candidates to find the right fit for the area and for the country. I'm 100% for them but if a certain candidate were to be elected repetitively in a particular election for the outstanding job they have done and have results to show for it then I wouldn't be against them running however many times they please.

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

In some instances yes but many issues require it one way or none.
