|After his service, Burt worked in operations and management for power generation. He is now an engineering project manager and works in the construction process for building large data centers. He lives in Frisco, with his wife, and envisions a better future for ALL Americans.
Burt received national attention as a Jeopardy! champion, during host Alex Trebek's final season, when he shared his personal story of learning English at a young age by watching the show with his grandfather. Burt's moving story inspired and reminded countless Americans of the importance and impact of empathy, family, and the American Dream.- FIX OUR BROKEN BORDER - BUILD THE WALL Fix our broken immigration system. Immigration is not the same as invasion. Require Voter IDs for voting in federal elections.
- Raise minimum skill. Bring back AMERICAN MANUFACTURING. Reduce our $34 Trillion dollar debt immediately.
- REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT. Reduce the size of the federal government and provide real oversight of various 3 letter agencies as well as significantly reduce their size and scope. END UNNECESSARY WARS.
Ensuring we fix our aging infrastructure and modernizing our power grid and pipelines.
Lifting the moratorium on fossil fuels and fast-tracking nuclear.
Ensuring mental health and substance abuse treatment for veterans regardless of discharge status.
Making healthcare less expensive.
Fixing our student loan system with zero interest, principal only federal loans.
Encouraging trade schools and critical infrastructure manufacturing in the USA.
Stopping the "New Silk Road" (One Belt & Road) objective of the Chinese Communist Party by creating an alternative to BRICs.
Regulating Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency.
General Washington deferred to Cincinnatus as the exemplar for his precedent - if he's good enough for our 1st president, he's a great enough role model for me.

'If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
I expect good things to happen, and I want us to start playing to win instead of playing not to lose.
The only deficit I see is one of inertia and I intend on being the push which can get our proverbial ball rolling.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions..............
Omitted in order to abide by the 2000 character text limit
I believe that is why an ENORMOUS amount of power was delineated but only for two year terms, and was for the youngest members.
I believe that the House was intended to ensure the portion of the preamble "..in order to create a MORE PERFECT union.." due to the high possibility of "fresh" ideas being introduced.
Along the way with more power consolidated, monolithic political party systems, and a bureaucracy which dwarfs the imagination - Congress has turned into a lifelong career which results in immense personal profit and personal power which is selfish in nature as opposed to selfless. As opposed to vampiric, the role is intended to be altruistic.
Our system of government was designed for anyone with good ideas to enter it - our Republic is designed to be the antithesis to a monarchy. When you have people who have been in the House or Senate longer than I have been alive, what is the difference between them and a Duke or an Earl? Then, when someone like Biden (who has been in the federal government since 1972) becomes president - what is the difference between him being put up as the king? Obviously our election systems are designed to mitigate this, but throw in the cost to run for office - the common man is disenfranchised.
2. Polarization of the political system by the consultant class for winning elections has created a kakistocracy and plutocracy. What the radical leftist Democrats weaponized with fervor to ensure they remain in power is an erasure of the American ethos of greatness. We are witnessing refusal to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance by members of Congress. The consultant class have realized that it is infinitely easier to get paid and remain in power if an election becomes a moral one, as opposed to a substantive one based off policy. We have to suture the anti-American divide or our nation will not exist.
3. The $34 Trillion debt.
4. Our aging infrastructure and power grid.
5. Medicare is running out of money as is Social Security. Within 10 years we will have a senior citizen class which won't have healthcare and will be without Social Security. Let's fix this in one cycle of Congress. When $7 Trillion of our debt is owed to Social Security, I say we pay THAT back first.
6. The OBOR initiative of the Chinese Communist Party - I believe this is the existential threat towards Western Civilization.
7. With major instabilities around the world with a disastrous foreign policy under Joe Biden, we have lost our footing as a dependable world superpower. I believe an invasion of Taiwan is inevitable - that has the potential to be our Suez moment.
8. We have to regulate AI and also harden our network infrastructure against vulnerabilities.
9. We cannot have another COVID type situation with detrimental supply chain issues. We must rapidly start up our manufacturing infrastructure.
I believe in a 3/2 term limit system.
Three (3) terms in Congress (two as an incumbent) then a cycle off, and a Congressman can run again.
By door knocking, I learned about our issues instead of just wishfully thinking what they could be. It changed me. I got 560 signatures for my petition in lieu of filing. I spoke with so many people and their faces live in my memory and their stories in my heart.
Here are a few:
..
...
....
AUDIT spending.
Various Precinct Chairs in CD-26
Ways and Means
Foreign Affairs
Veterans Affairs
Select Intelligence
Energy and Commerce
The DoD failing its sixth audit for $3.8 Trillion is unacceptable.
With a $34 Trillion debt with over $1 Trillion in interest, we need to have immediate accountability for every dollar spent. When nearly $7 trillion of that debt is owed to Social Security and, now that the program is running out of money - I say it is high time we demanded accountability and scrutiny for our government's books.

Collapse all
|I was spurred into action, and decided to run for Congress, after witnessing the way in which our leaders take away freedoms while demonstrating obscene hypocrisy. Instead of working on ideas that advance our country, our world, and all of mankind, they instead, choose to be myopic and raise the political temperature to remain in power.
My intention is not to be a career politician – it is to be someone who solves major issues and then gets out of the way for someone new to take over.
Our office will do everything possible to suture the wounds of division. I will work diligently to pass bi-partisan ideas and reach across the aisle to help remind people that we serve the people – we are servant leaders, and we must put forth policies that benefit Americans, not just the individual parties.- As opposed to just raising minimum wage, we must raise minimum skill.
- Let’s start debating the efficacy of solutions as opposed to the morality of issues.
- The only deficit I see is one of inertia, and together we will be the force to get the ball rolling!
2. The border/immigration. Shoring up the border with smart technology & drones. Call stations on the border for those fleeing traffickers as well as water. Signs which show the closest legal entry. A new visa for seasonal/migrant workers - we have an economy of illegal immigrants who are being used for effectively slave labor - forget politics for a second, this is inhumane.
3. The Salton Sea & New + Alamo Rivers. Let’s end this ecological nightmare by action. Let’s build desalination plants, waste treatment, pipelines and geothermal power plants. Not only would this provide fresh water, but will create thousands of jobs, mitigate the ecological disaster and will give us access to the 25-40% of the world’s supply of lithium.
4. 40,000 Homeless veterans. Completely unacceptable. I will work hard to ensure we have rehabilitation as well as mental health counseling and job placement for veterans.
5. Healthcare. Our district has a need for healthcare centers as well as specialists. In addition, getting funding for research for public hospitals. Affordable health care for not just acute but long term/chronic conditions. Lower priced medication.
6. Lowering the deficit and balancing the budget.
7. Getting out of foreign wars.
To me, government service is just that - service. Right now my district is hurting. I have some ideas that might help.
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
Integrity
Honesty
Servant leadership
In addition, oversight and following the powers enumerated in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution are imperative.
I would like to inspire everyday people to run for elected office.
He said, ‘The Japanese are hardworking, the Germans are punctual, but an American? You can trust them with a handshake.’
I believe the framers of the Constitution intended for citizen-legislators.
I believe anyone with good ideas, regardless of party, should attempt to serve in government.
However, it would be an honor to serve on the Veterans Affairs committee. Between homeless veterans, and those seeking help after their service, I would be privileged to be able to assist and fight for their rights and benefits.
A one party system is not good for the Republic. Compromise and being solutions oriented for the betterment of our country is necessary and will be an ethos I will carry with me.

Campaign website
Thakur's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
Education As opposed to raising minimum wage, let’s focus on raising minimum skill. Period. We can pass legislation that raises the 8% manufacturing in the USA. IF COVID taught us anything, we are at the whim of the global supply chain. In addition, we have a large sector of our workforce who aren’t trained in skill based jobs. So? We incentivize STEM degrees with government grants. We build public-private partnerships with companies for training and equipment.
WE MUST FIX THE SALTON SEA. In addition to being a huge environmental disaster, I see this as a way to not only drive the economy but with the correct legislation, a source of a tremendous natural resource. My idea? Let’s build a pipeline from the Sea of Cortez, build a desalination plant, and power it using geo-thermal energy. Not only will this provide fresh water and fix a large environmental issue, but we can effectively create power with a minimum carbon output. The tremendous benefit is that this will allow us access to the estimated 25% of the world’s supply of lithium in addition to newly discovered rare earth mineral deposits. For essentially a capital project with a $5Bn (adjusted for bloated quotes) cost, we can have a revenue stream that generates $15Bn in lithium per annum and offset the $37Bn water cost for CA. This will also spur innovation in water management, power as well as create thousands of jobs that will provide a bedrock of skill for our future. .
Aside from the usual rhetoric, a fundamental issue is human trafficking and slave labor. My idea is to create a seasonal/migrant worker visa. We have H1B/EB5/O1 etc. that are for skilled workers. How about a different one for the minimum wage/apprentice skill based jobs? From farmhands to hotels to hospice to even internships, this can provide a way for all who are seeking a better life a way to legally enter and also for those here, a way for them to be able to bring the best talents from their countries here legally. This way not only will we have documentation but we will also be able to ensure we can work to end the invisible slave labor workforce where those indentured have virtually no rights. In addition we must fix our wall and ensure that we utilize the latest technologies – from drones to automated patrols. In addition, call stations along the border for those escaping from human trafficking. Finally, signs along the border which show where the closest legal crossing is.
We start with the 40,000 homeless veterans. Create drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers with treatment and mental health counseling - not just places where people are medicated. Here, for 4 hours a day they will work in the community and at the end of each week will have to apply to 4 jobs. I believe the best way to help people is to make them feel needed and a part of society as opposed to being invisible. After the veteran community, we can expand this.
I believe the role of our elected leaders is to ensure the preservation of America and to put forth legislation that prepares the next generation. A congress that does not know about infrastructure and technology, or worse doesn’t care about it will get us nowhere. I am not asking for your trust – I am asking for your confidence that I will do a good job as a public servant, and hopefully one day I’ll earn your trust. Together we can help create and build the greatest inheritance for our children – our America![2] |
