I believe that individual freedom is of the utmost importance. People should be able to do what they want with minimal governmental interference as long as they do not infringe on the right's of others. I am not a part of the current, constantly broken party politics system. It's time for an outsider, everyday man to be a voice for the rest of us. I believe that serving others is the best way to help others, not through governmental bureaucracy.
  • If there is no victim, there is no crime. Drug possession should not be a crime for example. This would also reduce interaction with police, reducing the possibility of abuse of power.
  • The State should not be an involuntary HOA. People should be able to choose their business, their profession or what they put in their bodies. Less regulation and less governmental direction.
  • The current two party system has no incentive to solve problems. They need to campaign for, or against, an issue to drive their voters. It's time for a different voice that wants to let you live your best life.
I am passionate about getting government out of the way of private solutions to social issues. We should be able to choose how we spend our money, what causes are worth our efforts, and what morality that we choose to personally follow. My career focus is in the non-profit sector, my life journey is to serve others and my political view is that less is more.
Two films would inform people about my individual beliefs. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. Less political backroom dealing and power plays, more individual service and caring.
I hope my legacy will be the lives that I personally impacted. I want to help people, small acts or big projects all work to improve society.
My first job was as a tutor while I was in high school. I helped many of my fellow students with math, science and social studies. The joy of seeing a struggling student light up as they gain understanding of a difficult subject is so fulfilling.
There should be cooperation and the willingness to understand each others' positions. Having differing views however will keep government overreach from happening as only the essential issues will be voted on.
Oregon needs to look on building the economy through individual efforts. We should find a way to preserve and market our environmental beauty to gain tourist traffic and keep our state green for future generations.
No, I don't believe that previous experience is good for government. We were built on citizen legislatures, so having the day to day people making decisions, not professional politicians, should be the standard we all strive for.
Citizen panels should be used, not the politicians. Also, it needs to be set as size areas, and should eliminate gerrymandering of districts.
The legislatures should oversee the use of emergency powers that last longer than two weeks. If it is longer than two weeks, is it really an emergency? The people should have a voice is those decisions.
Compromise and working with others is important. However, there are times that you must hold your ground on matters of principle, such as individual rights.
