Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I'm running as the only fiscally responsible, anti-war candidate in the race. We need to focus on solving our problems at home, including our $40 trillion debt instead of bombing children 10,000 miles away.
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?
Let's not continue to fight wars abroad that have nothing to do with our national interest but, instead, just drain our economy and cause mass devastation abroad.Let's protect our environment, and particularly our clear water and not sacrifice it to large concrete data centers.We need to balance our budget. The government is irresponsibly printing trillions of dollars instead of maintaining a sustainable spending level. This is debasing our currency which is what is causing uncontrollable inflation.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
My biggest concerns are limiting our foreign engagements, protecting our civil liberties, especially our free speech and balancing our budget.
