I am a 38 year veteran that is tired of the sacrifices that have been made, to preserve our way of life, getting abused by career politicians that have no idea what it is like to live with a government that only wants more. I am tired of watching this great country being ripped apart for the benefits of the elite and those that wish only to line their pockets at any cost. I feel that if we want a government that is for the people, we as the people, need to step up and enter the ring. If we continue to watch from the sidelines, we won't have anything to be proud of when they are finished.
  • Government with integrity!
  • Lead by example and not by "rules for thee but not for me".
  • Leaders should be a display of what "right" looks like, currently, we don't have that.
Preservation of life (before and after birth)

restriction of CRT being pushed in our school systems.
Transgender required to use biological gender bathrooms
Care of our elderly
The right for a parent to choose what school their child will go to

Care of our veterans before, during and after the conflicts are over, not just when they are needed.
Ronald Reagan: Because he told it straight and he cared for the people, not the office.
The Leadership lessons of Jesus by Bob Briner and Ray Pritchard.
Honesty: Doing what is right, legally, morally, and ethically

Loyalty: Loyalty to their constituents and not to big business or sponsors.

Selfless Service: Putting the welfare of those they represent above their own, doing whatever it takes to represent their constituents with honor and commitment to the duty they were elected to do.
Relatability, Integrity, Loyalty, Selfless Service, Honor, and Empathy
To represent their constituents honestly, legally, ethically and without bias, to the very best of their ability.
To bring honor back to the office.
Mt. Saint Helens explosion: 17 years old
shoveling horse stalls and milking cows. worked there for a year at the age of 14.
Bible: Because it answers so many questions, provides guidance in the absence of guidance, and gives hope in tomorrow when this world provides little.
Captain America
Nobody (Feat. Matthew West Casting Crowns)
Corruption in leadership
professional and honest
Inflation and government over-reach.
Benefits: Not sure I agree that there is one simply because there would be no checks and balances such as there is with two parts of the house. With two parts, it is more difficult to have a major shift of government practices/policies.
Not necessarily. A fresh look from someone that has not been corrupted would allow the people be believe that the governing body does in fact have their best interest at heart. Relatability is always a strong asset when discussing new policies or practices. The longer a legislator is in office, the farther he or she is from what is really happening in the communities that they represent.
Yes, I believe it is important so that there is room for discussion. Like War Gaming with a staff, more minds in the war game means less room for error and less likely to overlook a vulnerability.
The use of Population growth.
Ethics, Veterans welfare, environmental.
Not a current legislator
Jim Jordan of Ohio.
Absolutely!
That the funding for kids needing counseling following sexual or physical abuse had been reduced. We owe it to our future generations to provide them with the opportunity to succeed, and ensuring proper care is provided for the care givers as well as the victims will ensure our future generations will be prepared to carry the torch of freedom to the next level.
Don't really know any.
No, it would be too convoluted and allow for too much room for needless discussion when time is of the essence.
depends on the topic of discussion.
