Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Historic sustainable agriculturalist infrastructure restoration and alternative energy implementation for the future of family life liberty and pursuit of happiness is my passion.

Government has been weaponized against wholesome family values and the ability to sustain in today’s world. With indoctrination, police state, corrupt courts, unaccountable politicians, untrustworthy elections, lockdowns, quarantine, health mandates, overtaxation, deportation, genetic alterations, invasive surveillance, constant violations of the constitution, GMO, cloud seeding, war, government funded invasion, economic dissolution via large corporations, red tape for small businesses, confusing law literature, excessive licensing and regulation for all aspects of life and the criminalization of religious practices, it is my belief NH’s way of life is doomed to parish in the wake of runaway government.

As a citizen who has never held office nor ever desired to do so, I plan to take my State back from government and operate it in the interests of the people.

I will refine government, rethink education, improve transportation, eliminate cloud seeding, restrict harmful transmission, prevent government funding of child abortion, gender affirming care, trans humanism, eliminate electric government surveillance of private property, promote mining agriculture and forestry, eliminate illegal migration, make education safe and promote family interaction.

I will restore NH freedom and Life

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?

• The constitution must be followed to the letter. Interpretation must be the way our god fearing for fathers intended.
• NH must be self sufficient. I will promote everything we need coming from home. We shall export rather than import our goods and services. Small businesses will be abundant and local again from agriculture to transportation. Ammunition to lumber will be produced by locals with local materials.
• Taxing people out of their homes is a crime against humanity. Tokens will be leased to avoid tax when bartering. Said tokens will require 1/2 the deposit amount for locals . The the first half of a token deposit is fully refundable. IE free. Out of staters will be required to make the full deposit. When they return the token and receive back the first half of their deposit, the other half will go towards reducing local taxes. While using this token all taxation will be exempt. New Hampshirites may avoid tax completely as everyone else supports our economy depending on how many out of staters enjoy the freedom of our token based alternative economy options.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Family, agriculture, security, constitutional rights, liberty, freedom of religion, healthcare, nature, tradition, occupation, education, judicial accountability, human rights, government overreach, technology, history, taxation, economics, ecology, pollution, natural climate, militia/military. Every aspect of life is my priority. Making sure that people have the best chance to live free.

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

I used to look up to people like Dean Kamen and Nikolai tesla. Now I look up to Donald Trump, marjorie, Taylor, Greene, Matt Gaetz, Heavier Mili for their fight for Justice. I have always looked up to my father and my grandparents. I admire Native Americans for their connection and appreciation for nature. I’ve been inspired by many handicap people who succeed in this world with all their challenges. I admire Christ for his commitment to his beliefs.

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

The Holy Bible, the adventure of wrangle island, the constitution for America, state of corruption, free my people, Paton place, tundra comics, chosen kingdom, we the people of NH zoom calls, majiparty.org, history of Pittsfield NH, dances with wolves, 2000 mules, ancient aliens, OSHA, MSHA, alternative energy systems manuals, Fitch Weatherbe, DIY every thing.

Diverse perspectives of self-sufficiency is necessary to understand me, but I understand some people can’t be self-sufficient, so keep in mind I’m always looking out for how handicaps come in to play in civilization as well as ignorance, and the lack of perspective in society, among the people looking to be governed.

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

Elected officials must be well educated God fearing, Un—corruptible with a view of the complete construction as the authors intended, with unbiased perspectives of all aspects of life, earth, nature, religion, technology, medicine, sexuality, industry, agriculture and culture.

Loving perspective with an open mind, but clear direction and wholesome values.

Experienced in safe diverse work environments in work outside politics.

If they have not experienced the consequences of bad policies, corruption, nepotism, court, jail, loss of license, mail fraud, stolen elections, police brutality, discrimination, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, physical assault, theft, power of prayer, bad medicine or even addiction they probably don’t have the insight necessary to understand life at a capacity necessary to govern.

Term limits should also be considered.

The ability to communicate effectively with all demographics in mind is important.

Compassionate and supportive but able to make hard decisions under pressure.

Independently minded.

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

I’m on corruptible. The government destroyed my life, and I’m determined to prevent the government from doing the same to others and their families.

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

Be the glue that brings the governing body together to make the best decision possible in the interests of the people they represent and serve.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A world, where people have free energy and experience life to the fullest in a loving way that is sustainable with healthy generations to prosper in the wake of the foundation created by us for them.

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

Childhood memories shuffled as to historical events. I remember watching live as Christopher McAuliffe was blown into bits as she launched into orbit on the endeavor when I was in second grade. Later in life, I worked in the cemetery where she’s buried and enjoy the Christa McAuliffe planetarium at NHTI in Concord. That historical event has touched my life again and again.

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

The first time I was paid money was doing cordwood. I had a lot of chores before that that did not pay anything other than privilege. The time I was five years old I was paid five dollars a day working for my father on his construction job sites. I had a landscaping company by the time I was 12 and I also did scrap metal And worked on a horse farm. at age 14, I worked on a farm in Sweden for the summer. I had a lot of jobs before I was ever old enough to be taxed.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The adventure of wrangle island is a great book that I can relate to from my experiences in the north. It was written by a very smart man about 100 years ago, who talked about the transition from believing the world was flat to pull leaving the world was round, and all the politics involved in settling at the turn of the 20thcentury.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Possibly Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes comics. Maybe Deadpool, because of how many times I’ve been injured. I admire the childhood mindset. I choose these I choose these, because for The innocence of youth, the wonderment of not knowing everything as a child, and the ability to enjoy life without fear.

For those who don’t believe in the Bible, I would say Jesus but for me, Jesus is not fiction.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Rich men North of Richmond and ballad of the white Mountaineer. I don’t know which one was first.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Having anything that is not taxed or taken by the government. My pursuit of life and happiness has been destroyed. Fixing it will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Having my children taken from me and living without them, knowing that they don’t experience interaction with the father side of their family as they’re indoctrinated by society and the government, in what seems to be an attempt to destroy their future, has been painful to watch. I don’t wish it upon anybody.

A governor is the top executive authority in his or her state. What does that mean do you?

Executive Council has more power than I will call over many things. As governor I’ll make things happen that would take too long for typical legislation to perform. And our government has spiraled out of control, and it would be up to me to pull in the rains.

Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?

Government has become an accountable in what seems to be a two-tier justice system. I plan on making all three branches of our government accountable to the people. I will do everything in my power to make prosperity, self-sufficiency and independence a part of New Hampshire life again.

Different states require governors to have different degrees of responsibility for the state budgeting process. If it were your choice, what do you believe is the appropriate degree of gubernatorial involvement with this process in your state?

Executive Council should be able to control the budget, but as governor I would create ways for the local citizens to barter, fairly without overtaxation. I will find ways to remove strings from the federal government by creating a situation where in state revenue is 100% of our budget without taxing local citizens to do so at every opportunity.

In most states, governors have the power to make line-item vetoes. If that is true in your state, what would be your philosophy for how and when to use this power?

I will most likely create executive orders and veto more than any previous governor in the history of the state of New Hampshire in order to achieve my goals as quickly as possible. That way I don’t have to be governor any longer than necessary, and I can get back to living as a free citizen amongst the rest of the people in my state once it is operating according to the will of the local legal citizens again.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

There’s a lot of corruption, and that’s why I am running for governor. Legislation has been corrupt by the federal government and the local government and it’s time to hold them accountable for the unconstitutional way. They have governed our people, and to return us back to a family oriented, free people, living life pursuing happiness, and enjoying all of the liberty That come with being a citizen.

What do you love most about your state?

My family is what I love most about this state.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Providing food that is safe to eat, that has not been altered from its natural state will be difficult. Weeding out the large corporate businesses that have destroyed all of the small local businesses will be equally as difficult. Defending us against the invasion, created by our federal government is also an immense, but equally as important. Creating fair elections that people trust without electronic voting machines is a huge hurdle. Eliminating cloud, seeding, and being poisoned various different ways against our will or without our knowing will be difficult. Eliminating electromagnetic radiation from our environment without ruining peoples ability to enjoy communication the way they do will be extremely difficult. Opening up minds and producing ammunition here in New Hampshire is important, but doing this without the EPA completely destroying our ability to do so there’s also a big hurdle. Preventing genetic engineering from altering humans or being taken over by AI is also a real threat in the next 10 years . Probably the hardest thing to do will be preserving, core family values, and refurbishing all of our local sustainable agricultural infrastructure.

Tell us your favorite joke.

An old Vermont proverb states “don’t speak unless you can improve the silence.”
Similar to another joke : you ask “do you know what a wise man once said?” When your audience responds, “what?” you just remaining silent.

Under what circumstances should the governor of your state be able to use emergency powers?

In the event of cyber attacks, natural disaster, treason from the federal government, And pandemics, invasions, pretty much everything that’s going on right now, is a good enough reason. Emergency powers should come with limits that don’t violate human rights.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

MAJI, we the people of New Hampshire, Terese bastarache, Regina Barnes, Jeannie Gallant, epsom logging and clearing, Mount Williams, NH GOP, Bear arms, Karen Testerman

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Government cannot be transparent enough for me. We should know where every penny of our money goes and why. Who funds campaigns and why. Who buys dinners for politicians where their gifts come from what their investments are they should be nothing private about the politicians finances, nor should they be anything secretive about our government’s finances.
