Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have spent the last 20 years as a very honest candidate in politics. I was very successful with providing ideas to the past administration, i.e. brokering peace with Kim in North Korea, among many other successful things. My formal education is by the Jesuits at Loyola University of Chicago. Most of my classes were taught by the Jesuits. At the time, I thought this was a curse with the Jesuits’ rigorous training. Now looking back, it was a big blessing and gift. I also was mentored by a brilliant physician Steven Baker for two years at Northwestern Medical School. During the pandemic, I went to work to provide medical knowledge that was 110% accurate for COVID. I immediately said ramp up monoclonal antibodies. It turned out whoever got the monoclonals plus a steroid survived COVID. Then I took online classes at Harvard to enter a medical school, but decided to pick up a fast track MBA from London School of Economics to be the next U.S. Senator from California. For the past year, Hoover Institute at Stanford continues to develop my knowledge on National Security and other things, even if I’m nonpartisan. They have been fabulous and very smart. All my experiences aside, I have a keen understanding with a willingness to get along with both sides of the aisle; I do what is right; I see things others do not for success…this is now needed in our government. Thank you

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?

Our country is dying. There are more than three priorities to save America and truly help American citizens. However for brevity, my three priorities: 1.) Secure the Southern Border to stop illegal immigration. Then send back all criminals who came to our country illegally within the last three years. This will immediately prevent more murders as occurred with Laken Riley, the nursing student in Georgia, who was killed by the Venezuelan migrant. This will also stop the drug flow of fentanyl which killed 100,000 Americans in 2023. Moreover, this will decrease homelessness as many are now drug addicted.Secondly is the economy. Opening up energy will decrease inflation overnight. I will also bring critical manufacturing back to the USA. These are products if something were to happen with the country producing these products, America would face critical shortages. These products include, all pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, equipment to replenish power grid, and any product that is associated with emergencies such as ventilators as we witnessed the dire need in the pandemic which resulted in a shortage and a scrabble to produce them. Also, I have many ideas for jobs for the future to leave nobody behind, where everyone can own a home and be able to pay it off before death while having money in the bank. Thirdly: my brokering foreign policy, Peace & Strength; No WW3. On February 6th, the day after I’m voted into office, I will fly from California to D.C. to be sworn into my Senate Office for California. Then I will discuss my plan for a Middle East Peace with my new colleagues in the Senate. After that, I will fly from D.C. to Tehran to talk with the Ayatollah. I am well versed with nuclear technology after talking to professors at the University of Chicago, Enrico Fermi Institute for 4 years and attending lectures. I will be extremely successful after my nonlinear life and all of my educational experiences. There is nobody in D.C. like me.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

1.) I have plans for a new health care system with new and better pharmaceuticals to extend life span with better quality of life.

2.) I have plans to revise our energy grid.

3.) I have modern ideas to safe guard the USA from external threats.

4.) I have ideas to reduce gun violence.

5.) Ideas to solve homelessness

6.) Ideas to create jobs by giving America’s CEOS ideas to help us.

7.) Restore Trust in our institutions and government.

8.) Modernize our infrastructure and modes of travel while making them safe, ie trains.

9.) Make sure people in East Palestine Ohio are taken care of from the toxic train spill.

10.) I have ideas for better food production.

11.) I have ideas to counteract any type of virus

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

The Highest Integrity while helping all the people so we really better American lives and The USA.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

President Reagan visited Dixon on February 6, 1984. I was ten years old at the time. I waited to see him in the cold. However, Reagan’s limousine didn’t drive by me for a good four hours. By this time, I was the only one left waiting for him, and my toes were frozen stiff. When Reagan finally drove by me, he let out a huge smile, laughed and waved. Reagan probably said, “look at that kid. He reminds of me.”

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

Grocery clerk at Eagle Foods in small town of Dixon, Illinois. I was 16 years old and worked through High School while playing soccer all four years, running track and field 2 years and wrestling 2 years.

Tell us your favorite joke.

An Elephant and Donkey go walking into a bar. The bartender says, “Well, well look who we have here. I’ve never actually had a real elephant and donkey come walking into my bar.” The Donkey says, “why not, you’re one block from Capitol Hill, I will take a beer.” The bartender says, “Donkey, you drink beer?” The elephant then says, does donkey drink beer, this Donkey can out drink all of Congress combined and so can I.” The bartender says, “that’s 535 people that the two of you can out drink.” The donkey and elephant in unison said, “yes.” The bartender said, “that is phenomenal, what are your secrets?” The Donkey says my name is Fili.” Then the elephant says, my name is Buster. Filibuster!”

(I just made that up lol)

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I’m an open book.
