Listening to real people instead of special interests

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

Term Limits

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

I don't just read bills, which is like saying you wash dishes in a restaurant, but I act on what I read.

I am a fighter
I won't be bought and I won't be bullied and they have already tried in Montgomery :-)

I listen and look at the big picture, as well as the un-intended consequences from poorly written legislation.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I left Alabama in a better place, in fact with the bills that are now law I can already say that.

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

Started at 9 years of age picking crops, pushing a lawnmower, and running a paper route.

Having enough trained available blue collar workers.

I have had 5 years experience working as a private citizen making a difference in Montgomery for Alabama without a paycheck.

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

Yes, I already have :-)

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?

"The only reason I am talking to you is you are not wearing a suit and you are real people "

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

yes

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

If compromise produces a better outcome for the people of Alabama without sacrificing our Liberty, due process, or our constitutional rights then it may be acceptable.
