Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I would have to say that that is a tie between Peter Kropotkin and Sir David Attenborough. I owe it to the works of Peter Kropotkin, specifically his book "The Conquest of Bread" for opening my eyes to the danger of capitalism and the solution that is socialism. Sir David Attenborough has inspired my work in trying to protect the environment and its creatures by showing me the beauty of this world.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin or The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like my legacy to be one that shows the work i did for the people of CD01, one which reflects my stance against corporate money in politics and commitment to fixing the environment.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The first historical event that i can remember was 9/11, I was 8 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first true job was working as a parts technician in the RV industry which is the job i still have to this day 10 years later.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Anarchism and Other Essays by Emma Goldman

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Deadpool

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

A Nightmare to Remember by Dream Theater

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

I dont think that it should be a requirement, the government is supposed to be one which represents the people. To make that a reality it must be open to anyone, regardless of experience or party.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

I believe our biggest issue is two fold, first is dealing with the challenge that faces the entire world, climate change. We have 9 short years to help stop irreversible changes in the climate which will threaten the entirety of the planet. The second is dealing with the growing cracks in capitalism's foundations, productivity and profits have skyrocketed while wages remain stagnant.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Compromise is what has brought the United States to the point its at. Decades of promises made and politicians folding on their promises only to compromise on policy that doesnt help the people.
