I am an average Joe just trying to get my constituents clean water and more options for high speed internet. Born in MA, moved to DE.
I am passionate about individuals rights and liberties. I'm in favor of market competition for things like utilities. Criminal justice reform, and the legalization of cannabis.
I look up to two people. One is a famous figure, and one is my father. The famous figure is Tom Brady. I look up to him because, despite not being a highly touted prospect, he worked his butt off and became the greatest football player ever. I look up to my father because, despite all he has been through, he is an amazing father and influence on me. One day, I hope to be half as good a father as he is.
Someone with a type a personality. Someone who can listen to understand, instead of just listening to respond.
I am confident, charismatic, and not afraid to speak up. We need someone who can lead, and inspire change.
To help pass legislation to improve the lives of the constituents in the district.
I want to make this place better to live in than it is now.
Technically, I did hardwood floors with my uncle for a year. But my first real job was a hardware store clerk. I was there for 9 years.
Catcher in the Rye. It has been a while since I have read it, but I remember relating to the main character.
I think I would be Tony Stark. Smart, fighting for the greater good, and some really cool cars. But really, he's an advocate for peace and helping people. He's a great guy all around.
Most of my life I have been over weight. I am currently on a weight loss journey. I am down 90 pounds thus far as of 8/11/22.
I believe the governor needs to listen to the legislature. When the legislature passes bills that the people are heavily in favor of, the governor should sign the bill rather than hinder progress.
Benefits are that it is easier to pass bills as they only have to pass one house. In Delaware we have a bicameral legislature. The drawback is that it is also easier to vote in bad laws. However veto over rides are also easier in a unicameral house.
I believe it can help. But I also feel that I'd you are in for too long you start working for yourself and special interests. Not your constituents. Term limits sre necessary.
Absolutely. At the end of the day, we all need to work together to better serve the people. This is much easier accomplished by building positive relationships with one another.
I would join committees that are targeted towards my key areas of concern.
In the event of an emergency, sure. But I think we would argue what constitutes an emergency.
