| Collapse all
- I am an honest and transparent candidate, and will vote in ways that protect our personal rights in District 8 - even those I don't like. Because that's what freedom is, Living your life as you see fit without being bothered or bothering others. If in office, my goal is to leave you alone as much as possible.
- I'm an Electrical Engineer, not a politician. I see that as a good thing. A politician will say they "know how to get things done.", but all that means is they know how to sell out your rights for favors, and abandon their principles. I approach all problems with a logical, pragmatic mindset that takes into account people's rights and freedoms above anything else.
- Our state government is full of corruption. We have representatives taking payouts from corporations to sell out your rights to line their own pocketbooks. I pledge to not take a dime of campaign fund money in order to curry favors for any person or corporation. It is despicable, and those who partake in this practice should be ashamed of themselves.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
