I am an ordinary, hard working American pursuing the American dream: work hard, own a home, provide for my family and enjoy a reasonable retirement.
I am entering this race because I feel our country is off course and headed towards an irreparable outcome. It didn't start with Donald Trump but it has accelerated under him.
It's time bring back citizen-led servant leadership; we need people in Congress who work in the real world everyday and not just "sympathize" with Americans but are one of them.
When elected, I won't forget where I come from and I will make a promise right now to serve no more than 3 terms in the US House. We don't need any more career politicians.- As a self employed, self-insured person, I understand and feel firsthand the stress of our current healthcare system. Having absorbed 10%-20% annual premium increases over the last 10+ years, I know how hard it is to find the money to pay for basic healthcare coverage. Now, with ACA subsidies at risk, we are all facing enormous and insurmountable costs that will either break us or force us to go without coverage. This system is broken.
- As a person in their middle years, I also fully understand the prospect of NEVER being able to fully retire. Even with the best efforts and luck, social security is now at risk of being insolvent within 7-8 years. No one can afford to see their benefits cut by 20%-25% and expect to be able to fully retire without worry. We MUST protect social security and medicare.
- As a real estate agent for over 20 years, I deal with the housing affordability crisis on a daily basis. Not only is it almost impossible to find good homes due to large corporations buying thousands of homes and keeping them off the market, being able to afford a monthly mortgage and downpayment is difficult at best and almost impossible for first time buyers.
I believe this is greatest challenge we face and it has to be address in all areas of government involvement.
