Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I am committed to representing all constituents.I hope to be a voice for those that have been disenfranchised due to duvisive party politics. I hope to bring and generate new ideas and solutions to our current problems.I chose to run because it has been 30 years since a democrat has run and I felt that only a small group of people were being represented. Is there anything you would like to add? I would like to see common sense and compassion find a place in government again. I am in favor of term limits and vow to only serve two terms.[2] |
