I was was born and raised in the People's Republic of Hungary, located in central Europe, which was a socialist country until 1989, now part of the European Union and NATO.

I legally immigrated to the United States of America at the age of 20 back in 1984 and lived about three decades in our beautiful San Mateo County, now I reside in East Palo Alto. My five children were born in Redwood City and have many wonderful memories there. I am a REALTOR®, a small business owner and an Accountant.

  • We must reform our monetary system in alignment with the United States Constitution. Article I. Section. 8. clause 5. states: "The Congress shall have Power [....] 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"
  • We need permanent solutions to our problems and to achieve that, our government must control our money supply and the issuance of our money as it was meant to be in our Constitution.
  • Reforming our monetary system is the key to bring inflation under control to stabilize our economy, lower the crime rate, because we all deserve living in safe neighborhoods and build more affordable housing, because nobody should be homeless.
After our government issues and controls our money supply, in Congress, we will never have to argue about money, budget, deficit and spending ever again.

We will have the financial resources, without borrowing money, or raising taxes, to bring inflation under control, to tackle rising crime across our nation because we all should be able to live in safe neighborhoods, eradicate homelessness because nobody should be homeless, create affordable housing, providing world class education, to make health care very affordable, to take care of the families of our fallen soldiers, first responders and to make sure that the retirement benefits are sufficient, so our elderly population can live in dignity in their home and not in a tent under a bridge.
