| Collapse all
- Election Integrity or assurance that the election proceds is secured is essential to every decision that lawmakers must make.. It guranteesvto the electorate a sense of fairness and honesty. The fact that severe anomalies existed in the 2020 election, should be sufficient enough to drive an investigation.
- We must bring our legislators home to their rrspective districts. They cannot adequately repredent, We tge People, if they are only home on weekends. It just doesn't work. Covid alongbwith other industries taught us they can work remotely. In addition, there is a grave distrust betwrrn the general electorate and politicians. This waybwe can keep an eye on them
- There is a need for greater accountability. Our senator purchased $30 million of land at a tome when peoplecare havingbto cjoose between buying food, gas for cars or medicine and veterans are homeless. Yet he presrnts no defense agains5 bringingnin illehals. He has no voice and is as spineless as they come. Time for a change.
First, to the life of Jesus Christ as a leader, as a purist and his humility. God gave us the standard to use to guide our lives.
Second, I look to Leonardo in terms of science, because he inderstood difficult concepts, but was able to convey them in intricate drawings.
Third, in Quality, Dr. W. Edwards Deming because of his understanding of the Root Cause Analysis and the basis of failure.
Fourth, in Sociology and Human Resources, Dr. Leo Buscaglia. He believed in reaching out to others with a hug, a handshake and a smile.
2. Work experience: Brought based corporate at all levels including leadership in aerospace at Executive level.
3. Coaching and Team building- 28 yrs soccer including Premier.
4. Faith- 44 years Christian at all levels of leadership and service.
