| “ | What is your political philosophy?
My political philosophy can be summed up in the words of the great Rabbi Hillel who said, ""If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"" This is why I often fight for causes that don't personally affect me. I believe in standing up for those facing discrimination. I believe it is my obligation to repair the world. Destruction of the environment hurts us all. I got into the race for county clerk because of an injustice done to the LGBTQ community by the current county clerk. I now realize that my skills as a computer analyst are needed in the county clerk's office because risks to all posed by hackers. The county retains so much personal information that it is imperative that we improve the data security. " Is there anything you would like to add? I am running for county clerk because I care. I humbly ask for your support and your vote. As county clerk, I will work to transparency, security, and accessibility to county records. I believe in a workplace free from discrimination.My skills as a computer analyst are needed in the county clerk's office to secure the county records. My dedication to justice for all is what drives me to fight for the rights of all.[2] |
