Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A fellow American who will bring fresh voice to Congress, I will support legislative actions that help President Trump succeed, so we all prosper again.

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?

• Choose Greatness
• Support Trump
• All Lives Matter

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Trump orchestrated the greatest economy in more than 50 years. As jobs boomed, I was literally hiring people off the street. Then, communist China wrecked it. But the sky is not falling. Trump brought back the American dream once, and he will do it again, bigger and better.

Democrat "representatives" wasted 4 years pushing the Russian collusion hoax, staging a phony impeachment, and ripping up the State of the Union. Don't give them another day of partisan obstruction.

Elect me. I will drop what I'm doing, go to D.C., and support every legislative action that helps Trump succeed, so we all prosper again.

I am an American. You are an American. We put men on the moon. We land rockets right-side-up like Buck Rogers. We do not accept "the new normal". We choose greatness. Let us "Make America Great Again"!

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

Commitment to the Constitution and the truths prescribed in the Declaration of Independence.

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

Tenacity

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

Between 6th and 7th grade, I picked strawberries for Curt Mayberry Farm in Lynden. Having just come back to the U.S. from the Philippines the year before, I wasn't too involved with goofing off so it turned out to be a very profitable summer. Hard work!

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

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy entreaties have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him;
Let the Amen sound from His people again,

Gladly for aye we adore Him.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The Declaration of Independence begins with a premise: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Our greatest challenge is whether we as a people still hold these as truths and self-evident. Our position on this addresses the question of nationalism vs globalism, of government control vs liberty, of security vs anarchy. Will we see each other as fellow Americans, created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable Rights? I am hopeful.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

George Washington had the humility to step down after serving eight years. Representatives should have a self-imposed limit of four terms in the same position without a pension, and no perks; your congressman should be focused on service over self-interest.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Republican Joseph Rainey was the first black person to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lived the American dream. Born into slavery, he and his family were liberated in the 1840s when his father purchased their freedom. Rainey prospered as a barber, his wife a bartender. He took his success, and stepped out to serve, helping to create a better, more just America including helping pass the Civil Rights Act of 1875.

Said Rainey, "It has been asserted on this floor that the Republican Party is answerable for the existing state of affairs in the South. I am here to deny this, and to illustrate. I will say that in the State of South Carolina there is no disturbance of an alarming character in any one of the counties in which the Republicans have a majority. The troubles are usually in those sections in which the Democrats have a predominance in power, and, not content with this, desire to be supreme.
