Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a recent liver recipient from a kind donation of life I am motivated to give back. As a way of saving thanks i intend to fight and win the election. And then fight and win for the average everyday person that until now didn't have a true voice. I am a person on a mission. People over politics and issues over party.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Providing a fair and honest voice to those that can't speak for themselves.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

The AZ Commission was created by the AZ Constitution when AZ became a state. The thought was to have 5 commissioners that would protect the state and citizens insuring they received a fair deal in relationships with big business, utilities and common carriers using AZ resources.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Lyndon B Johnson. Not liked by everybody, but knew how to get things done.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

It may sound corny, the Declaration of independence and the US Constitution.

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

Transparency. No true transparency.

I process an understanding of life's challenges.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

A willingness to fight for what may be unpopular but right.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Protections for the residents on fixed incomes with no other options. Mechanisms to thank first responders and veterans. A plan to meet the challenges of our coming water shortages.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Of course man walking on the moon. I was about 10 years old.

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

My first job was as a janitor in a high rise residential building. I was in high school and held this great job until I found a better one as an usher in a movie theater.

Marcus Welby, MD

What responsibilities of this office do you personally consider the most important?

Honesty and fair play. The ability to put aside one's personal feelings and consider the greater good.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

The Commission is literally designed to be the champion of the little guy. To often they are the defenders of those that already have a very large voice.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Honesty, fairness and a willingness to listen and work hard is what is necessary.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?
