Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Conservative Republican US Army Veteran who decided to run for office in order to reverse the deterioration of the values that I fought for as a soldier for 20 years. I am a father, husband, local business owner and concerned citizen who grew up in central Mass and I have a strong desire to serve the people of my district. I come from a proud family that has been a part of Central Massachusetts for generations. I've been a military leader and now I want to bring that leadership to my district. We need to not only improve the economy of the area but we must preserve the individual liberties that our military has sacrificed so much to maintain. By managing government resources and allowing citizens to prosper, the people will create more living wage jobs, improve our schools, and make public safety available to all in the best possible manner. We will look to communicate with those who have different opinions and work together for the betterment of the District, the State and the Country.

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?

Local businesses create local jobs, not the government. A living wage should match the value of the person doing that job. To force businesses to pay a wage for a job that doesn't warrant it is unfair. Let businesses grow and jobs, good paying jobs, will follow.
Government accountability is a critical concern. Openness , clarity and factual accuracy are what people want from their officials and I plan to keep an open door as well as an open mind to my constituency.
One of the greatest and most fulfilling jobs I've ever had was being a Dad. I love children and I will do everything I can to protect them. The unborn do not have a voice, and if no one will speak for them , I will. There is always an alternative to abortion

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Minimal and fair taxation. People have to by law pay their taxes. They have a right to know and to direct where that money goes and used for.
Fair legislation. We have had a one party system in Massachuusetts for far too long. Balanced government is a strong government and fair. People should not be punished for diversity of thought. We must get to a point where people debate and work out policy for everyone, not just a select few.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an Iraq War Veteran and educator, an author, speaker and patriot. My goal is simple: to foster communication in my community and to serve the people of my district. I grew up in Central Massachusetts and I decided the hard working people of this area had a voice.

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?

Support Local Businesses and Law enforcement
Eliminate unnecessary government over spending and over taxing
Support and Restoration of individual liberty

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I support any law that bolsters the small and medium business owners in our community. I want the tax payers to have more control over their money and not politicians.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I looked up to my father, a simple but very wise man. I loved his plain spoken manner and view him as a great success. Ben Carson is another great man. Both men overcame great adversity despite being Black men during difficult times. My parents moved us to a small affluent town when I was four because they wanted a better life for us. He told us, "Never let color get in the way." So we carried ourselves like everyone else. We did our chores, we went to school and if we did not do well it was up to us to get ourselves in order. Work hard, dream big and never let color get in the way! A man's word is his bond and you treat everyone, including the police with respect. So it my father, Kenneth Chester, Sr., RIP that made me the man I am today. Integrity, honesty, decency and a positive attitude all factor in to how I think and how I lead.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Bible, my presentation, "The Truth About Iraq" on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-X87b3zF6I) These although not necessarily political are probably the best available items I could recommend.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, decency, compassion and grace

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

My insight, my life experiences and my leadership skills through the military would make me the best man for the job. I am committed and excited to take on the job.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT LIVE YOUR DISTRICT! Respond when they call your office and return their calls or emails. I hear so many complaint about how people need help and their local representative never returns calls or anything! Be an open person.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Great prosperity, landmark legislation and the reputation of a successful, well respected leader.

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

I was 13 when my favorite singer, Stevie Wonder lobbied successfully to have Martin Luther King's birthday made a national holiday.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I was 14 years old and working for the Catering department at Whalom Park. I worked there three summers in a row.

What is your favorite book? Why?

I have so many! Besides the Bible, probably H.G. Wells, "The Time Machine" I love science fiction and that one is the the granddaddy of them all!

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Superman, he was the first flying superhero.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Sail On by The Commodores

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Considering myself a success . I was a successful officer in the National Guard and I have been trying to recreate that productive element ever since I left the service.

Every state besides Nebraska has two legislative chambers. What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?

That they are managed carefully and not used as political tools for lazy politicians to hang on to their jobs. We have a upper and lower court and they should be talking and discussing (and transparent) about everything that comes through the chamber. I don't see that in the lower court.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. This just leads to politicians that have lost touch with the people that put them in office. Politicians should come from all walks of life , a variety of backgrounds so they can relate to what happening to their constituents.

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Balancing the representation of the population and then solving the problems that have existed for years. Too many politicians jockey for power rather than serve the public.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

Equal value of communication and respect for authority. Get rid of personal animus and lose political agendas. Talk to people.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, as long as they are working towards a common goal. Achieve together for the people.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

Full, extensive research and polling. We ask the people, the voters what they want. Then let them decide.

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

Not sure yet. Economic promotion, setting up situations so people can thrive financially.

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

Yes logistical management

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

No

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Maybe. I keep thinking about being governor but I am not ready yet.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

I spoke to the owner of the oldest still operating furniture and flooring business in the area. He was 87 years old and looking to retire. The man was trim and looking years younger than his age. He was full of local history and a proud veteran. This man worked hard for most of his life and it paid off. Unfortunately, he lamented that so many of his neighbors-other business owners had to shutter their businesses because they had no support from the local leader to help them stay in business. Even this local legend had to downsize to survive. This made me even more determined to help my district..
