Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I haven't been a political candidate since leaving office as a member of the Omaha Public Schools Board of Education in 1994. The single most compelling issue that has now driven me to become active again is the nationwide election corruption by enemies of our Constitution and of our nation itself. That election corruption is coming upon us through a number of different means and from several directions, but the computerized election machines are the means I am most capable of exposing and opposing. In Nebraska, County Boards of Commissioners have the power of the purse over county election commissions, which is precisely where election corruption via the machines enters our election franchise. I am addressing the election crime by being a candidate and by presenting evidence fraud evidence to counties and the state legislature.

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 speak at County Boards of Commissioners' meetings in Nebraska, and I use the county commissioner race in my home county as a candidate to confront ES&S and expose the treasonous fraud they are perpetrating with their machines. ES&S stole our vote! See my candidate site http://ESSstoleOur.Vote
• God's glory WILL fill this earth just like He said it would. He is raising up people like me to so lead starting NOW. One of the very next steps to that end is to rid the world of computerized election machines. Think for just a moment - whenever a judge or court has ruled that REAL election race results must be known without any ambiguity, they ALWAYS defer to hand counting. Admittedly, mistake-prone people are common enough that we do need to be selective about which counting tasks are given to which people, but beyond that, hand counting WITH OBSERVERS PRESENT is the gold standard of vote counting. Anyone knows that there is no advantage to machine counting that makes it worth replacing the gold standard of hand counting.
• We live in an amazing time that begins a worldwide turnaround for the better. In the past, we all thought the world would keep getting worse and worse because the Bible says that evil men will get worse and worse, and we misunderstood that to mean that the entire world would follow the same trajectory. However, it is NOT the entire world that gets worse and worse, though the evil men will. Confusion between the two robs people of their courage to oppose the present threat to our families and futures. To the reader - consider how YOU can join with others who God is raising up for such a time as this.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Election franchise needs to be better protected from the conspiracy by enemies of our Constitution who also conspire to weaken our nation with crimes and dysfunctions of all sorts, trying to wear down societal sanity. I am merely one of many new breed leaders who remember a more sane society (I'm 65 years old) and who have the fire in their bones to rise up and overcome that conspiracy.

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

Many people are being newly compelled onto the scene as they expose and oppose this attack against our country that became well-known in November 2020. Our real POTUS Donald J. Trump is obviously destined to become known as the most unjustly persecuted person on the scene.

Although I'm not interested in following fellow humans, I have to admit that Kat Kerr and a number of other Godly people who've walked with God unwaveringly do have my respect to a level that I actually follow their examples. We know that God wants us to walk with Him. We all experience times in our lives when we need God to intervene for us as our ally, and it is so good to have established that alliance with Him ahead of time. A Bible verse reveals to us that "...the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him". From this verse we know that God is always wanting to show off how strong He is on behalf of someone; why make Him look very far for that person when you can be walking right beside Him with that perfect heart?

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Books - 1: Holy Bible; 2: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

After becoming grounded in the Holy Bible and establishing a personal relationship with its Author, so-called Near Death Experiences of people who have seen and heard the spirit realm can be fantastic resources of understanding for the discerning audience. I ESPECIALLY recommend listening to or reading Rev. Howard Storm recount his 1985 NDE! That is the main bit of intelligence that let me know that earthlings are NOW at a time in history that will be known to future generations as the accelerated time of transition between an earth not filled with God's glory to an earth filled with God's glory.

Just as important is to keep certain things out of your viewing and hearing. Turn off the bad things, and keep them out of your thoughts! Turn off the "mainstream" news media like MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc. Even news media outlets that are more truthful will often have commercials we best avoid - commercials that groom the audience to tolerate corrupt societal standards.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Each voter will have to decide which characteristics/principles are most important to them as a voter. Friendliness and physical appearance are often most important to voters, but wiser voters will be more concerned with their elected officials' choices of news and information, how their elected officials vote, and how circumspectly they behave themselves. Do they correctly discern truthful instead of fake news media to get their news from? Do they vote the way they indicated they would? Do they speak in defense of decency, wisdom, societal stability, and well-established rights of individuals; individuals including the unborn and others who need an advocate?

I hope most voters want their elected officials to recognize the reality that they've been placed in their positions by the Most High who rules in the kingdom of men and appoints over it whomever He, the Most High, wants to. Also important is an elected official's ability to detect malicious activity against society at the earliest stages is likewise highly important. Their courage to lead the charge opposing all malevolent activity that would try to weaken society -- their courage to go the right path alone, if need be, and call out those destructive ideas that other elected officials foolishly try to generate a following with. Example: the COVID-19 attack.

The elected official must be determined to seek, listen to, and represent the wisdom of their constituents and resist peer pressure. Right now, the County Board decided on January 23, 2024 not to listen to their constituents when they removed Citizen Comments from the standing agenda, even though 4 years earlier they all spoke vehemently against doing so! How incredibly soon they ALL abandoned their integrity to shut their ears against their constituents!

Only after the above priorities do their leadership skills matter, because we must not allow a great leader to lead us down the wrong path just because they are a great leader!

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

Experience in elected office before (and understand the media pressure to push their agenda in place of the agenda of the wisdom of constituents), age, fear of the Lord: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

So many voice tell us to pursue wrong means to the ends we seek. They often even tell us to seek the wrong ends. The officeholder has to KNOW the right means and the right ends for the city, county, state, nation, and humanity. They need to not just choose from sides that others before them limit them to choosing. They need to KNOW that God will fill this earth with His glory. That is the only direction that will succeed.

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

This office is county commissioner. It is responsible for funding the election commission that should protect the single most important right Americans have that all our other rights have as their basis - the right to vote. Therefore, it is obvious the single most important responsibility of everyone holding this specific office is to protect our votes by protecting the election franchise from becoming centralized to into a state, federal, or any other government body. Right now, the state AND federal governments are bullying counties to use election machines made by ES&S, even though the use of such machines computing (not "counting", sad to say) votes with dark software disenfranchises many, many voters.

Think for themself. I learned from being on the Omaha School Board that the natural tendency of elected officials is to vote the ways they will receive accolades from news media rather than thinking through long term societal consequences.

What legacy would you like to leave?

That I was a CONTRIBUTOR to the transition that is shortly to happen in this earth, from an earth not filled with God's glory to an earth filled with God's glory.

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

I remember watching the JFK funeral when I was 5.

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

I was a K-mart stockboy for a 2 years or so.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Holy Bible, of course. It is inspired by our Creator. Though it was written so long ago, it was written in such an incredible way that it becomes more and more relevant each generation. No other book compares to it in that respect.

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

Something that played in the background in a public setting: Beautiful by Carol King

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Poverty, even to the extent of having been homeless with wife and children. While most homeless persons do have vices, we did not, not even to use profanity, nor tobacco, nor alcohol, nor interpersonal conflicts, etc. It was purely a temporary financial state.

Since you're giving me some space here, let me use it to emphasize the struggle of all time that is now facing our nation. This struggle we face is even greater than our Civil War of 1861-1865. The struggle in this moment is as multi-faceted as the enemy could devise. Election terrorism is merely one front of more fronts than imaginable. The enemy has amplified divisions within us that we'll have to resolve before we seeing success. Coupled with that, the enemy has gone to great lengths to censor the social platforms that would be most useful to heal those divisions.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Too early to know.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I would change the wording to "government transparency" and "financial accountability", given the current mess our nation is in. Both our state and federal governments are outsourcing to private, unaccountable individuals and firms to keep secret what the government is not allowed to keep secret. The most egregious example is that ES&S vote-counting software costing taxpayers and voters MANY millions of dollars is not subject to Public Records Requests so we can see why, in election after election, it so seriously fails counting perfection in too many races...and even one failure or miscount is unforgivable, considering the technology, in purity with honest, open-source software that ES&S refuses to provide, is capable of rendering absolute perfection!

Now that federal three letter agencies have teamed up with Google/YouTube/FaceBook/the late Twitter/etc. to violate our first amendment rights and censor information that patriots need to be effective, no one in their right mind can any longer deny those three letter agencies have become corrupt. (I grant you, which agencies and to what levels they are corrupt has not been fully exposed, yet.)
