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?

I support federal income exemptions to all active-duty military personnel under the age of 27.Society has an obligation to afford a learning platform that is tailored to the potential of every student.I believe in a healthcare system that affords explicit autonomy to the American people when it comes to choice and preference.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We fight to win when we fight together, because there is no greater weapon on earth that can destroy the act of empathy. We have become so polarized as a nation that we forget the human cost of decency. We have become so radicalized as a people that bipartisanship has now been leveraged as a rare commodity in American politics. Debate is the backbone of our democracy because it lends a platform to new ideas that can shape the future of our nation.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

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

Due to advancing technology, our domestic infrastructures have become increasingly vulnerable to foreign adversaries. Digital warfare is the weapon of the future, therefore, we must allocate reasonable resources to protect our cyber security apparatus and to protect the American consumer in the age of digital currency and increased economic mobility.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Energy and Commerce, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, Veteran Affairs

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

The most radical expression of our commitment to freedom begins at the ballot box when we exercise the right to vote. But policy must never propagate intolerance towards any individual, regardless of personal ideology.
