| Collapse all
- I am committed to bodily-autonomy; whether we’re talking about abortion, vaccines, or recreational drug use, the state has no right to impose its morality on individuals.
- The government has no right to tell businesses they can’t operate due to some state of emergency and their choice to prioritize absolute safety over one’s ability to earn a living.
- There is far too much waste and far too little accountability in government today; we are seriously over-taxed with virtually no control of how our tax dollars are spent.
Even in the riskiest of times, a business has the right to open if they choose and our citizens have a right to patronize them if they choose. As a community we can come together to provide additional support to anyone who cannot safely navigate whatever dangers may exist.
Government has no right to coerce individuals to engage in certain health choices, nor incentivize employers to act on their behalf applying pressures to the same ends. Private companies are free to enact many policies on their employees that I don’t agree with, but the abusive application of that freedom should be condemned and (at minimum) constitute loss of public benefits. Sanofi Pasteur fired more than 300 people in April 2022 for not registering their Covid vaccination status even though they weren’t working in a Covid vaccine facility. The incumbent in this race proudly boasted of a strong partnership with Sanofi Pasteur, even bragging about the $2Million grant awarded to them in late 2020. He had nothing to say in defense of our 300+ neighbors when fired.

The following are my top 5 strengths:
Woo (Influencing) - this person loves the challenge of meeting new people & winning them over, and derives satisfaction from breaking the ice & making a connection
Individualization (Relationship Building) - this person has a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively
Ideation (Strategic Thinking) - this person is fascinated by ideas, and is able to find connections between seemingly unrelated things
Developer (Relationship Building) - developers recognize & cultivate potential in others, and derive satisfaction from progress
Second is the story of a young family suffering the effects of our terrible drug laws. The father, a legal user of medical marijuana, was pulled over for a traffic violation. When subjected to a drug test he had THC in his system, which is not indicative of actual intoxication, and was subsequently convicted of a DUI and may only drive if he installs an expensive breathalyzer device on his car. Since the family car isn’t in his name, they would have to pay to transfer the registration and also pay for the expensive device; since they cannot afford this he is unable to drive to support his family.
