Government reform, electoral reform, and government transparency. We cannot tackle any other issues until we address the problems at the core of everything that is wrong with the American government.
I look up to myself. I'm allowing myself to be my own candidate with this race, and I find my views too dynamic to compare to any mainstream politician.
Integrity, our government is basically lacking this entirely.
Integrity. I am unwilling to concede my principles in response to the current system. I will not ever play into their games.
Ability to work with other branches and levels of government, principled stances
That anyone can challenge the entire system and win.
Curving the continuing presence of money in our political system
Computer programmers design an audited program
Commerce/Labor, General Laws, Health/Welfare/Institutions, Militia/Police/Public Safety, Privileges and Elections, and Rules would all interest me for one reason or another.
Yes. I intend to run for the same seat or Board of Supervisors in 2021. Past that, I'm interested in running for Congress, Senate, or Governor.
