A concerned dedicated intelligent patriotic citizen is the best state legislator we can have. A person not compromised by special interest influence or promoting a single issue. Honesty, integrity are also good characteristics for an elected official.
Please see my answers above and following. I have tried to present and reveal my character to you in the previous and following answers.
In life any previous experience we have is helpful in forming our decision making ability. A concerned dedicated intelligent patriotic citizen is the best state legislator we can have. A person not compromised by special interest influence or promoting a single issue. I will represent the best interest of and future for all the people in District 107. Support me with your vote, I will not disappoint you.
Relationships are important to understand the views and motives of another person or group. Other legislators may agree or disagree with your opinion on an issue. You must be open to listening to another legislator's opinion and motive. You do not have to agree or accept their opinion. You must uphold your own integrity, honesty, and judgment. Without civil discourse how can anything be accomplished that will be best for our community.
