What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Edward Kimbrough answered the following:

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

I believe that the most important characteristics of an elected official is to be honest, trustworthy, dependable and a servant of the people. The most important principles are to treat other people the way we want to be treated and treat the life of every human being as sacred.[3]
What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?
I believe that the three greatest challenges we face as a nation are: (1) to change from a Debt/Credit-Based Monetary System to an Asset/Capital-Based Monetary System, (2) establish term limits for the Congress and Federal Judges, and (3) establish a balanced budget for the Federal Government. The details are described on my website.[3]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other senators?
Yes. To eliminate the gridlock in Washington there needs to be universal principles that will allow senators and representatives to work together to address the needs of the people they were elected to serve.[3]
