I am a young, simple guy offering myself as an alternative to the bureaucratic establishment. I will finish my bachelors degree online from SEMO this December. For far too long, politicians have taken advantage of the people's vote and have left them behind. Your politicians do not work for you like they claim they do. By offering myself as an alternative, I want to include the people on votes, legislation, and inform them what it is going on in the state house.
  • Always vote according to the will of the people using a system that I will put into place that would allow this to happen.
  • Always inform and update the voters of what is happening in the state house, so they will know what is going up there.
  • Pass legilsation based on what the majority of the people want. I believe legislation should passed on what the people want and not because of my own personal gainings.
I am interested in any public policy that the people will bring to me. Any public policy that the people want to learn about or want to look more into, is what I will be passionate about.
My parents. They are the most amazing example of hard work and demternination. Without them, I would not have learned about the important life lessons and skills that would make me who I am today. I am so grateful to have them in my life helping guide through the pathways of life.
None.
Important characteristics of having someone elected to office include making sure they get what they want, and the person votes according to the will of the people.
I have two ears to listen and a voice that speak on what the people want. My two ears will listen to their concerns and my voice will cast the vote on what the will of the people want.
Making sure they carry out what they said they would when they ran for office.
I would like to leave one where people know I try to make a difference. If my time in office was successful enough, I hope poeple can look back and see that there was a difference and change made.
My first job was growing up and doing chores for my parents. I did chores for ten years between the ages of seven to seventeen.
Anything wiht Dr. Suess. Regardless that he is a childrens writer, I really love his books and feel that his a very creative writer to read.
None.
None.
I have struggled with opening up more and expressing myself. Naturally, I am a shy person, and feel that I need to come out of my shell more.
No. It is refreshing and exciting having someone, who has never held public office, run and do something new and challening.
It would be up to the people on telling me what are the state's greatest challenges over the next decade. By going to them and learning from them, I feel that they will guide me in the right path on dealing with the issues at hand.
