Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A.J. Spitzner is a resident of Newton County who attended Morgan County Schools. He has deep roots in the 10th district, with family in 14 of the 25 counties. He is a 28 year old IT guy who wants to help solve the rural internet crisis across the district. Healthcare and a Livable Wage are also top priorities for the Candidate. Mr. Spitzner plans to represent ALL of the 10th district and not just some of it. Americans all want the same thing. They want a paycheck that can pay the bills. They want Healthcare for their families. They want to feel safe at school and at the grocery store. They want access to the information and job opportunities afforded to those who have good and affordable Internet access.

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?

• Rural Internet is an Urgent problem in the 10th District. I will make it a top priority.
• Housing cost have risen faster than wages. Affordable housing must be addressed on a national level.
• Healthcare was non-profit before Richard Nixon changed the law, We are one of the wealthiest nations on earth. America should have universal healthcare.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The Environment

A Criminal Justice Reform

Human, Civil rights and Equality

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I remember the Y2K frenzie. I was around 9 years old.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The House of Representatives is unique in that you are directly involved in influencing policy for future generations.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes, as long as the official remembers why he or she was elected in he first place. Often a person trying to help their district gets caught up with lobbyist and indifference and forgets where they came from.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The greatest challenges that lie ahead for this nation are going to be re-balancing the social, economic, and environmental infrastructure of America.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Science, space and technology, Veteran's affairs, Appropriations, Energy and Commerce, Ethics or Intelligence would be a good fit for me although I will do my best in which ever committee I am assigned.
