Copilot said:

I am a University of Cincinnati alumnus, where my passion for politics began. In 2012, I joined the Libertarian Party and have since earned a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree. I have served as Communications Director for the Ohio Libertarian Party, represented Ohio at the Libertarian National Convention, and currently serve as Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party.

I believe in the libertarian principles of free people and limited government. America faces serious challenges: endless foreign wars, economic uncertainty, government mass surveillance, and heavy-handed immigration enforcement, all overseen by a government that struggles to balance its own budget.

Washington needs leaders willing to challenge the establishment, defend individual liberty, and put people before politics. I am ready to be that change.

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?

Make America Affordable Again - Life is becoming increasingly unaffordable for Ohioans. Reckless government spending has fueled inflation, driving up the cost of groceries, housing, healthcare, childcare, and higher education. Nathan supports responsible spending reforms and policies that make homeownership more attainable, helping families keep more of what they earn and achieve long-term financial stability.End the Wars - War has not only cost the United States trillions of dollars, but it has also been a major driver of anti-American sentiment around the world. Nathan supports ending ongoing foreign wars, commits to rejecting future unjust wars, and believes the United States should reduce the number of its active military bases abroad. In his view, there is no reason for the United States to serve as the world police.Immigration Reform - Nathan supports an Ellis Island-style immigration policy that makes entry into the United States easier and provides a simple path to permanent residency. He supports eliminating the militarization of border security and immigration enforcement, believing that force should not be used against individuals who are not violent.

Abolish ICE and replace it with nothing.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Immigration, Education, Economy, Global Interventionism, Anti-War, Mass Surveillance, Free Trade, Opposing Money in Politics and SIGs.
