Our family was rich, but financially poor. The first house was a small rental, on a gravel road, with no in-door plumbing and only cold water to the kitchen sink. Regardless of our financial status, I was blessed with good parents, family and a community to guided me. Through education and hard-work—I earned a Bachelor of Accountancy and minor in computer science.
After college, I worked in a CPA Accounting firm, then moved into software development, followed by large electric/water utility industry, mining, banking, and Maricopa County government. Mid-way through my career, I worked as an independent consultant for: the Federal Government (Freddie Mac), CEG/Goldman Sachs, Honeywell, Mexico-American Electricity Transmission System. I concluded my career (May 2022) in the Capital Markets group of Wells Fargo.
I am running because I am concerned that the opportunities that I had are becoming out of reach for many today. Visit Silvey4AZ.com for more information.
I consider myself blessed to have faith, a loving wife, friends, and to be a citizen of the United States of America!- My primary concern is the level of malfeasance in our leadership class. This malfeasance is not limited to elected officials but extends to the administrative state and the judiciary.
- A secondary concern is the current national debt and unfunded liabilities. The current national debt is over $30 trillion, which is over $92,000 per every person in America. Then there is unfunded liabilities of the US federal government—which are items like Social Security and Medicare. These unfunded liabilities totals range from $100-$200 trillion—which equals an additional $280,000 to $560,000 per person. The bottom line—the current national debt and unfunded liabilities amounts is between $375,000 to $650,000 per person. It got this far out of hand because of malfeasance by our leadership class.
- A third concern is the cultural decline—and the outright lawlessness, especially in Democrat controlled areas. It got this far out of hand because of malfeasance by our leadership class.
I support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The rights and protections provided by our Founding Fathers are being eroded.
A short-list of my concerns include:
· The economy and inflation, which undermines families' abilities to meet their monthly bills and save for the future.
· The current national debt and future unfunded liabilities.
· Protection of individual liberties (1st, 2nd, 4th 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th Amendments)
· The over-reach of the Federal Government (10th Amendment)
· The Administrative State, often referred to as the 4th Branch of Government
