I am a practicing Chemical and Manufacturing Engineer working for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. With a background in Chemical Engineering, I am acutely aware of the importance of clean energy production and the consequences of industrial byproducts in our environment. Therefore I am guided by pragmatism and driven by logic, making my approach to politics one grounded in finding practical solutions that yield positive outcomes for society.
The upstate New York community holds a special place in my heart, as it became the backdrop for significant milestones in my life, including the birth of my daughter, the friendships of my son, and the establishment of my first home and marriage. Arriving in New York in 2018, I experienced the lockdowns firsthand, witnessing the toll they took on my neighbor's lives and their careers. This motivated me to advocate for balanced emergency measures that respect individual rights while prioritizing public health.- I am an operative and practicing Chemical Engineer, under retirement age, who understands the needs of our nation's production and the importance of renewable energies with a focus on Nuclear Power.
- Wholesome American family values and invested in the safety, education and future of the nation's youth.
- As a private citizen, not a career politician, I will be embolden and empowered by private citizens to fight tooth and nail for the interest of regular people and their economy, not just wall street's economy.
I am also deeply committed to corporate taxation reform, aiming to ensure that corporations contribute their fair share to society, fostering a more equitable economic landscape and funding vital public services.
Moreover, I am enthusiastic about energy production and sustainability. I advocate for policies that promote clean and renewable energy sources, with Nuclear Power and Energy at the forefront. I recognize the importance of combating climate change and reducing environmental impact.
Honor, Truth and Morality above all else.
Secure bipartisan agreement for advancing bills, to ensure efficient use of tax payer money.
A stronger United States of America, where resources are used efficiently and adequately to address the needs and wants of our citizens. A just United States of America, where the people are not oppressed and subjugated by corporations.
The Prince describes everything wrong with politics and rulers, using history to drive its arguments, while giving the public the necessary tools to disarm them and hold them accountable.
For example, during my time as a Chemical Engineer part of my job has been to successfully persuade skeptical audiences and reluctant bodies, while honing my skills in justifying impactful projects. Establishing lasting relationships and bridges, and ensuring my ideas become transformative realities.
Great things take time, and the constant changing of representatives could serve to impede growth and accumulation of experience and political prowess. However, as our representatives reach more advance age they tend to lose patience, lose connection with the constituents, and lose the necessary vigor to work ardently and diligently for our citizens.
I would also mention Liz Cheney, not on account of her legislative work or legacy, but because when the time came to choose between loyalty to country or loyalty to party, she chose loyalty to our country.
