Collapse all
|I'm running as a Republican for NH State Representative for Merrick 6th District (Bradford, Henniker) In my Engineering career I have solved the most difficult problems, and led technical teams to reach challenging goals. I want to use the same skills in getting to the bottom of problems in Concord. I have been a property rights, gun rights and medical rights activist, running for the office of County Commissioner as a Libertarian to force a change to a corrupt County Board in Michigan, and again here in Hillsborough County NH to raise awareness about County finances and oversight of the private jail. This year, I don't have the luxury of running Libertarian due the severity of the threats to our Constitutional Republic at the national and state level. The fight for our rights is at a tipping point. You can count on me to uphold ALL of your rights under the Constitution.
Right to keep and use your property Right to educate your children as you see fit Right to decide what goes into your body Right to keep & bear arms
- Right to keep and use your property. NO INCOME TAX! Place "sunset law" or property tax cap on local taxing authorities, and, after sunset date, replace with service fee.
- Right to educate your children as you see fit. Parents should choose their child's education and school.
- Right to keep & bear arms. "Red Flag law" violates EVERY principle in the Constitution!
Education
The drive to work to advance the cause of personal liberty.
To respond to the concerns of my constituents.To carefully consider the root causes of problems that have been difficult to solve in the past.
Perspectives on our society are presented through the eyes of an alien, absent our preexisting value judgments.
The Senate has only 24 members, and so has much less direct representation. Senators tend to be lawyers, which is good in a sense but means they are less typical of the population.
