Lyndon B. Johnson, a dynamic president, left an indelible mark on our moral and social fabric. While some criticized his foreign policy, there's no denying his pivotal role in steering the nation toward profound civil rights. Against all odds, he championed what he believed to be right on the domestic front.
The Go-Giver, Expanded Edition

A successful political representative should embody people skills, engaging constituents to address pressing issues. The ability to listen thoughtfully, coupled with compassion, empathy, and sympathy for diverse needs, is crucial. Advocating with strategic acumen for constituents and transparently explaining next steps, even in the face of challenges, reflects a commitment to public service – the core essence of the job.
Caring, loving, willing to put other first, with a people-centric approach, coupled with genuine empathy, makes me well-suited for engaging with constituents on challenging issues. I have a reputation as a good listener reflects a valuable skill in understanding diverse perspectives. Prioritizing people and letting faith guide me to love before judging adds a compassionate dimension. My technical mind, honed as a network administrator, offers a unique perspective for problem-solving, emphasizing the potential to bridge differences and build or repair relationships in distinctive ways.
The primary duty is to represent constituents' interests and safeguard the citizens of this great land, ensuring their well-being and advocating for their needs.

Man in the Mirror by the late Michael Jackson
In domestic policy, a focus on upgrading our education curriculum is vital to equip both young people and adults for a technology-driven economy, especially with the increasing influence of AI. On the foreign policy front, strategically navigating our relationship with China becomes imperative in the global race for innovation, emphasizing the need to diversify our engagement across the world.
My thinking on term limits is evolving.
The distinctiveness of the U.S. Senate lies in its exclusive authority to confirm or reject the President's judicial nominees and cabinet selections. Additionally, being the ratifying body for treaties sets it apart. The two-senator-per-state structure uniquely amplifies their platform, providing a robust stage for advocating the nation's priorities.
Absolutely not, the Founding Fathers established clear criteria for eligibility to run for office: minimum age of 30, at least 9 years of citizenship, and residency in the state of election. The intention was to open the door for anyone capable of addressing the nation's challenges, emphasizing the importance of fresh perspectives and diverse thinking in our government.
My thinking on the filibuster is evolving.
I agree, a judge should be qualified, drawing on experience rather than legislating from the bench. Impartiality, fairness, and adherence to political doctrine are crucial. Respecting the constitution and government boundaries is essential, and a thoughtful approach to not allowing a single judge to unilaterally strike down a law affecting the entire country is important for a balanced judiciary.
Building relationships across diverse backgrounds is crucial, fostering respect on a professional level. Finding common ground and innovative approaches to address key issues are essential components. As a people person with friends spanning various political stripes, actively listening is commendable, but establishing genuine relationships and positioning yourself as a vital contributor to meaningful conversations adds a valuable layer to interpersonal dynamics.
Yes. Indeed, compromise is the essence of politics, allowing progress on legislation that positively impacts many. While the art of finding common ground is crucial, there are situations where pushing through just and necessary laws becomes imperative for the greater good.
Absolutely, investigations play a crucial role in maintaining accountability within any system. It's vital to ensure that these processes are fair and just, avoiding any semblance of fishing expeditions and upholding the principles of justice.

Certainly, the President deserves a capable team. It's crucial that cabinet appointees possess qualifications relevant to their roles, ensuring they meet the demands of the moment with the necessary skill set for the betterment of our nation.
