I look up to my parents and all of my military family. They tought me how to trumph over adversity; loyalty and duty to fulfill my obligations.

Governors assume tremendous responsibility becoming the spokesperson for the entire state. The governor also holds great power over the legislative branch and therefore, a good working rapport is necessary. However, with this being said, a good legislator, accordingly, has to be relatively independent of the governor in order to serve their district well
Yes. our commonality should be serving those who voted us into office. Unfortunately what we are seeing now is a vast and growing political polarization which in my opinion, is hurting communities. Nothing more sharply divides people than politics, so in addressing this issue, we need to work towards building cohesive groups
