Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am inspired to seek political office to help voters of all stripes get reconnected to the real power they still have - the power to hold the system accountable. The system includes the political structure and the economic structure. For example, I would like to talk about why a livable (minimum) wage does not jeopardize small business owners, but rather lifts everyone up. I would like to talk about how gerrymandering hurts even those voters who affiliate with the majority party in their districts because it corrupts the ability of those voters to hold their politicians accountable.

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?

• Ohioans Have the Power to Shape Their Future
• All Voting Ohioans Should Vote On Behalf the Generation(s) Behind Them
• Ohioans Must Accept That We Either Stand United or Fall Divided

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about all policies that get Ohioans reconnected with their individual power to shape their future and the futures their children.

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

The APOLLO MOON LANDING in 1969. I was 11.

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

I worked for the administrative office of my high school. I would work evenings at the computer center to babysit the NCR Century 100 computer while it did things like schedule student classes. I taught myself several computer languages while I had such access: COBOL, FORTRAN, and assembly language.
