Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am running to stop the huge disconnect between politics and the people. I am here to represent a change that needs to happen in order for the majority of constituents to be heard and acknowledged. I do not represent money, pre-made agendas, or any other factor that is not in the interest of the "common" people. I have created this political party solely that that I may run without ties to anything or anyone but YOU.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am not here for money.
• I am here to give you a voice.
• The two party system is not working! Lets throw in a "wild card" to change the votes and ideas of the senate.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Anything that is not being used properly, and where is all the money going......??!! I would like to also bridge the gap and try to offer realistic ideas that could help bring the two polar opposite political parties to a better agreement than the constant bickering that is happening at the peoples expenses. Expenses meaning, loss of employment, businesses, and money, along side of the right to a proper education and health to name a few.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Anyone that has the "balls" to stand up for what is right. They do not need to be famous or on t.v. WHY? because that is a person that is as true as one can be. No lights, no boat loads of money, just honest.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Honest, and I speak up when needed.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Not to waste the seat. Do the job and speak to your constituents when they ask for help.

What legacy would you like to leave?

That I did everything I could and then some.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

September 11, 2001. I was in my first/only semester of college and was 17.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I worked at Peoples Choice in Unionville for about 8 years. I started as kitchen help answering phones at 16 and by 19 I was the General Manager.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Giver. Read it you will know.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Wonder Woman - she has a truth lasso..... that would go very far in politics.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Any one of my kids current singles they listen to over and over again... they are all nothing I would want in my head....

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. These positions are to represent the constituents, I would rather them not be long term politicians,

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Going back to "normal" and actually being realistic in the way we do so.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

To work together, which is not currently the case. We do not have a king, legislature is elected to be the voices of the whole state not just of the governor.
