Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

100% for the people. (719)930-2211

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?

• Land use - I will represent the constituents and current tax payers on this matter
• Crime and Public Safety - Fully support bringing police compensation in line with the average of Colorado.
• Not bought and paid for - I am refusing 100% of special interest money as well as establishment names. I answer to you and no one else.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Balanced budgets, public safety, Land use, homelessness, Utilities costs.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Serving as the board for the city utilities is unique and important.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

JD Vance seems to not be corrupt at all at the time of this writing and he seems to be the type of person I can really admire. JD Vance is impressive right out of the gate.

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

Only one and I share it as a thought provoking comedy- the movie "Ideocracy" I felt, was well ahead of its time and tells of what is to come.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty and integrity.

Doing what is right for the people.

Hunting down and rooting out corruption.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Not being a sell out is the key difference between me and other people who have held this spot before. I am not taking donations that compromise my integrity.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Representing the will of the people in my district, regardless of my views. My job is to represent the tax payer and make sure their money is used as wisely as possible.

What legacy would you like to leave?

If a 4 year term as city council is legacy worthy then here is my shot at it! - I would hope to leave one of being 100% committed to the people and supporting honesty and integrity.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

No - I feel this question is more for Baletpedia to data mine and learn more about our elections instead of for the voters.

People should run for office is what I think. We need more sheepdogs standing watch for wolves because the amount of wolves in the area has increased lately. I love Colorado Springs and am proud to call it home.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes, but this comes with down sides as well. I feel I have zero allegiances and am free to solely represent the actual tax payer.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

Financial planning, used to balance budgets and uncover opportunities mainly used to make police compensation in line with the average in Colorado and the front range.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the local government?

Serving on the board for the CS Utilities is significant as well as being able to propose legislation that will slightly improve or maintain our city's unique feel and vibe.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I have refused all endorsements as well as not pursued any and this is by design. The only endorsement you should care about is yours.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency and government accountability are crucial for restoring public trust. Unfortunately, current systems often enable corruption, particularly in campaign finance. In Colorado Springs, loopholes undermine the intent of disclosure laws, allowing individuals to contribute unlimited funds while obscuring their true identities. This must change for a fairer democracy.
