Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the Constitution Party nominee for WY House District 53. I am endorsed by WY representative Bill Fortner and Sara Painter of Wyoming Issues.

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?

• Reduce taxes on the people and businesses
• Defend individual freedoms
• Protect children from radical indoctrination

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Power must be returned to We The People. Government must be limited and it's authority restrained. Children can not be subjected to political agenda.

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

I look up to our hard workers that drive our state and nation. The people, our blue collar workers deserve a majority of all the credit. Their work is what drives our nation.

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

No, I model my philosophy on life experience.

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

Transparency

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

Honesty and transparency.

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

To uphold the Constitution and fight for those represented.

What legacy would you like to leave?

If I leave a legacy the people will decide what it is.

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

The government raid at Waco, TX. I was in elementary school.

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

My first job was a bundle handler in a sewing factory. I worked roughly 6 months before finding a better opportunity.

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

Wyomings greatest challange is Cheyenne. I will work to reduce taxation, reduce government and return Power to the citizens of Wyoming. The key to success has never involved any government or taxation.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a unicameral state legislature, in your opinion?

N/A in Wyoming

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

No I do not. I believe in term limits. I strongly believe with too much experience comes too much corruption.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes. Whether I agree with other legislators or not I must understand them to provide results to those I would represent.

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Education.

If you are a current legislator, what appealed to you about your current committees?

N/A

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Representative Bill Fortner. He has been a warrior for individuals.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Yes. I've heard from a mother whose child was severely injured at school over her medical discussions being ignored. She was ignored by existing representatives at many levels. I had no words for her story but I have many for the incompetence of those that ignored her.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

Yes

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Wyoming is a solid conservative state however our Legislature is not. If elected I will represent the people and their will.
