Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I am running as an Independent because I believe the enforcement of our state’s laws should not be a partisan endeavor. As Attorney General I will focus on public safety and the safeguarding of all of our civil rights. I will also focus on government accountability, something that should make establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle sit up and take notice.[3] |
