Just a Gen Z Candidate looking to help my constituents in my residing district have a voice for the concerns they have. I want to be the one that actually stands up for all as we are all equal in this world.
  • We are in this together. A fight for all of our voices to be heard and to be recognized.
  • Equality is what brings us together. No matter what skin we are we shall all be treated equally till the very end if we were to keep America the great country
  • God created no mistakes. In the Bible, we shall not judge each other nor shall we be disrespectful to one another based on our skin, race or ethnicity. We are all born under the same God.
Democracy, we are all living in the United States of America as a democracy. We must choose the one candidate that will be there for all of their constituents.
Family. Respect one another and lead by example with the respect you have.
Publicity, I tend to not like being in a large crowd or on stage
Checks and Balances. We assure what is right and what is wrong for any bill that comes to the House. We must ensure it is a bill that is right for the people
No. Anyone interested in Politcs shall be allowed to run. Politcs is something a lot of people can learn on the side and if this is what they want to do, let them run
Yes. Its the good amount because the people are allowed to change for another candidate if the incumbent isn't what the people voted for failed to help the people
I agree with term limits because we need to have younger and fresher candidates to represent every single district
Yes. We need to be as much bipartisan as much as possible. Bipartisanship is what makes the U.S. even better than one political move.
We shall not allow AI to run in the government. One wrong move can hurt the government.
