I am the IT Director and HIPAA Security Officer for a Little Rock based company as well as a small business owner. I am happily married with 3 kids. I was born and raised in Arkansas by a conservative family and attended the Little Rock school system at Booker Elementary, Horace Mann Middle School, and Parkview High School. I left Parkview in the 11th grade to attend the National Guard Youth Challenge program where I earned my High School Diploma. I graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a B.A. in Management Information Systems and have worked as a software developer at organizations such as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Northrop Grumman, and Qualchoice of Arkansas.

Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Paul is an Activist, Constitutionalist, and Author to name a few. He is a conservative and a Libertarian.

Budgets, abortion, infectious diseases, accessible internet and infrastructure, criminal justice reform, and of course the economy.
Benefits: cheaper, no filibusters, less rivalry amongst the two houses.
Drawbacks: sets the stage for Dictatorships, does not work for large areas of representation, easier for members to have outside influence, and there is less debate on bills because the process is more expedient.
Yes, because like all jobs there is a learning curve and with politics there's also networking. But, that does not mean I think it's necessary.
Yes, passing legislation is a democratic process which means you need sponsors and votes in order to get bills passed or rejected.
