Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have a background in Medical Education, I went to Medical College at the age of 16 years and was a Medical Doctor at the age of 21 years. I was fond of reading. I visited Abraham Lincoln Birthplace after college and was very impressed with his Leadership. I realized the best way to connect with his ideology was to be in the Republican Party. My father was a leading economist, so I took over a lot of for profit and non profit businesses when they were heading towards bankruptcy and started putting them back on the road to success. I was able to give happiness to a lot of people with my work, I started getting recognition and then I thought of joining politics. I like result-oriented work. I like nature and Kentucky is blessed with natural beauty. I am very concerned about Kentucky's poverty, education and health care system. I have a dream of Kentucky having well educated, well paid work force instead of Kentucky graduates moving to other states for better salary. I like to be involved in volunteer work towards ending food insecurity. I prefer a simple life with high thinking.

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?

• I will work to reduce inflation after the Pandemic in Kentucky. The Budget will be people friendly and not otherwise.
• I would work towards opioid/ drug addiction.
• I would work to end racial injustice.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about economic growth, business development, education, healthcare, ending racial injustice, safety of people of Kentucky.
