Constitutional Law. There really is no other comparable issues when there is an "Autocrat-In-Training" in the White House.
My father. He had a solid reputation as a gentleman, a skilled and gentle dentist, a forward-thinking, student-for-life.
At this particular moment in history, the most critical books that illustrate and explain how we Americans have fallen into a Constitutional crises - where a President is bending and breaking and rending the rule's book we call the United States Constitution.

Mary Trump's book about her uncle Donald - " Too Much and Never Enough"

"Disloyal" by Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer and personal lawyer.
Always honor your Oath to the Constitution.
Never take an oath to any political party that would conflict with the Oath to the Constitution.
Politically fearless. Integrity. Educated. Patriotic. Constitutional Conservative.
That I kept my Oath to the Constitution, unlike my opponent.
I was 8 when JFK was assassinated. I also remember the atonic bomb exercises in grammar school when we would crouch under our school desks.
In 1978 I was the assistant (journeymen) electrician to the Master Electrician at Mercer University in Macon, GA. I have been practicing General Dentistry in Macon since 1983.
Mary Trump's "Too Much and Never Enough"

It explains how her family "CREATED THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS MAN" - Donald Trump.
How frivolous at this time!

I mean, Seriously, How can Ballotpedia be wasting [our] time with "fictional characters" when our Constitutional form of government is under daily assault by Trump? He is shutting down the USPS so that he can win this election!

Triage definition is - the sorting of and allocation of treatment to patients and especially battle and disaster victims according to a system of priorities designed to maximize the number of survivors.

I am willing to leave my successful and rewarding Dental Practice, to step up to the plate and help my country. This is Not fiction.

The past 3 and 1/2 years of Trump's reign of terror on the poor Republican Senate and our Country.
The House can pass laws to reign-in a rogue President. And defund bad projects.
Yes. But it can also hurt the citizens, if that previous knowledge is used to fool the populace.
Constitution - We need to strengthen the checks and balances. The Constitution was written specifically to prevent a King (the War of Independence from King George) from coming into power over the citizens. Over the past few decades, the President has become so powerful that he can trample on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and brag he can murder someone on 5th Avenue in New York and get away with the felony crime.
Healthcare - due to my knowledge of infectious diseases - the pandemic.
Armed Services - due to the important bases we have in the 8th District.
3 House terms = 6 years = one Senate term.

4 House Terms = 8 years = the maximum of 2 Presidential terms.

5 House terms should be the absolute maximum = 10 years.
I hear a lot of deeply personal stories as a front-line, dental healthcare provider. Especially impactful are the stories I hear about chronic pain - from diseases or from accidents or addictions or from our wounded warriors.
