I'm a first time candidate who never had any desire to run until I was nominated and endorsed in a matter of 45 minutes at our senate district convention. I was there that day as my first ever look at local politics. I chose to become a delegate and show up that day because of how dysfunctional and polarized our government seemed to be getting. There were no signs of that changing. I'd heard "If you don't like what's going on it politics, get involved.
  • Everyone agrees that we have an overly partisan, dysfuctional, polarized government. Unfortunately, polarization is not limited to poliotics. It shows up within our families, in our neighborhoods and at our schoolboard meetings. The solution is to see those on the "otherside" as Americans not enemies. Then listen. Listen with curiousity to understand. Prioritize the relationship and find common ground. This is not natural and takes trianing and practice.
  • I can bring that spirit of listening to understand and prioritizing relationship development with Representatives from the other side of the isle. If we can make laws together, they are more solid and lasting. We have to start working together to find solutions that work for everybody.
  • The problems with this solution are that it will take time and we need more willing participants. It starts in the House Civility Caucus and builds from there. Collaboration not demonization.
I start with meeting peoples basic needs, then build out from there. I can list the 5 big ones. Healthy food and clean water, Healthcare, Education, Safety, and Housing. Beyond that, voting rights, access to safe and legal abortions and workers rights come to mind. We can make policy that works for everyone.
If I could be a part of turning the ship toward more peaceful waters, that would be phenomenal.
I started babysitting twin cousins and mowing lawns at 10. By 14, I moved into restaurant work. Mostly washing dishes.
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepok Chopra. I read that in my 20's and it changed my understanding of the world. I have recommended it to many and given many copies away.
