| Collapse all
I am a grandfather of 7 children, married for 50 years, Civil Engineer by profession. I have been a volunteer worker for most of my life. I see this election as an extension of my volunteer work so that I can do some good for the people.
- Abortion: I want the Florida Law banning abortion after 6 weeks rescinded. A Yes Vote on Amendment 4 will also help to reach that goal. The current laws in Florida is treating women as less than human. It is dehumanizing women.
- Homeowners Insurance Laws passed in 2022 gave away $3 Billion of our tax dollars for Reinsurance. That was WELFARE PAYMENTS to GIANT Insurance companies. That has to change so that insurance premiums for homeowners do not keep spiking or insurance companies leaving Florida. We need insurance laws in favor of the homeowners not insurance companies. And we need to enforce/strengthen Building Codes so that we have more homes resilient to storms and hurricanes.
- We need to reinstate the Department advising Counties on "where not to build". This crucial department was disbanded under Rick Scott Administration in 2010. This is absolutely necessary with the increase in frequency and intensity of storms.
Transportation. I am a Civil Engineer and I worked on building bridges in Pittsburgh area during my professional career. I have a strong interest in seeing better and better network of roads, railroads and public transportation. I admire novel approaches to transportation needs as is being done in The Villages in Florida where there is a network of golf cart paths.. People can travel from one end of town to the other end in their golf carts. The high speed rail from Orlando to Miami is another admirable achievement.
President Barack Obama because he came through Chicago politics and he is not dirty. From what I know of Chicago politics, it is remarkable that Obama became President of United States.
The book is "My Experiments with Truth" by MK Gandhi. He steadfastly pursues the meaning of "Truth" his whole life.
Honesty and some life's principals as the guiding light. The public official must never take advantage of the position for personal gains. Even small things can ruin a stellar record for an elected official.
My analytical skills. As an Engineer, I tend to analyse issues in the same detail as I did in an engineering problem. It helps to see the various aspects of the issues without getting too attached to one solution only. And the detailed analysis also helps to see the majority point of view.
To take care of the best interests of the majority of the District. It is extremely poor on some politicians to cater to the large donors to their campaigns at the expense of the people who voted them into office in the first place.
That I served honestly and in the best interest of my constituents.
President Eisenhower came to New Delhi, India. It was great pomp and show. I was 12 years old. Our school was closed so that we could be at the Presidential route to witness it unfolding. It was exhilarating and a lot of fun for a 12 year old.
Sales Engineer and I worked in that job for 3 years. I was new in the country and the job involved traveling, which just worked wonders to introduce me to the country. As an Engineer, I wanted to get my PE license also and this job was not good to advance me in the Engineering field. I had to leave the job, go to Consulting Engineering work and get my PE license shortly thereafter.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand for showing perseverance, personal responsibility and of course independent thinking.

Too quick a response to an issue. I am able to analyse and come to a conclusion rather quickly. It is too quick for others to accept. I keep trying to delay my response time but I still feel I am not slow enough.
It should be a Partnership where the Legislature is an equal Partner. The way it has been working though is that the Legislature has been passing a whole lot of Bills and the Governor picks and chooses which ones to sign into law. And there have been simply too many laws passed in the last 4 years, 500+ laws according to my count. Florida was not a lawless society 4 years ago that we needed so many laws. Time will show the results from these large numbers of laws and their effects on daily lives of Floridians.
Homes built on the coast are going to have a difficult time with potential hurricanes. And the rest of Florida is going to feel the pain of rising homeowners insurance rates. There is no easy solution for overbuilding on the shoreline and the changing weather which is bringing more storms and with much greater intensity.
Yes, any previous experience in politics is very helpful. Experience in government can be from directly working for the government or working for industries that deal with government on a regular basis like banking, road and bridge construction and the like. It definitely helps in seeing things in a better perspective.
Yes, it helps to be able to have a healthy discussion of proposed legislations. But I don't like the fact that some Legislators use their relationships to get legislation passed for their personal benefit, or for their employer. This is happening in Florida and I have experienced it.
No, I have not dealt with any Legislator that closely to see what they are doing. I did like Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania and from whatever little I know about him, he would be a good model.
No, this is the last time I am running for political office.
Yes, when I served on Franklin Park Borough Council, one of the homes in the area was getting flooded every time it rained. It was a result of construction of homes over 25 years but no one thought of the impact of rainwater, as they would have, had the area been built all at once. I thought the homeowner was caught in big mess. We resolved it finally when Borough Council agreed with me to take the necessary action to resolve the flooding of one house in a neighborhood of expensive homes.
It's called reading. It's how people install new software into their brains.
No, it would get embroiled in too much discussion and the intent of emergency will be lost in some cases.
Rescind SB300, the 6 week ban on abortion in Florida.
Democratic Party of Sumter County and Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida
Transportation and Education. Transportation is my professional background and Education is my deep interest. I have been a volunteer teacher in an after school program for 10 years in Pittsburgh area. I am a volunteer teacher now in Wildwood Middle High School.
These are the basic tenets of governing. You have to be able to show the public what you have achieved successfully and also where you have failed.
I support ballot inittiative process in its current form. I have seen the process at work these past few years and I believe it is a good way to allow the citizens to have a voice directly rather than always through the Legislature.
