Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was raised Free Methodist and had two great grandfathers who were pastors. Free Methodists didn't believe in Slavery during abolishment times and I still don't. I believe every interest is a special interest.

I am an efficiency expert and have run productivity numbers for two Fortune 500 Companies with the same result for manufacturing and service industries. I endorse the 24 hour work week. Four (4) - 6 hour shifts per week is the highest productivity for employees!

Then why do we have a 40 hour work week? This was put in place as a maximum work week and is obvious to millions of Americans who are underpaid slaves that it isn't enforced and most aren't making ends meet working the 40 maximum hours. I wish our doctors and nurses had been working shorter hours all along so they could ramp up during an epidemic or prepare for emergencies such as war instead of starting out exhausted from long required shifts .

Minimum wage? Our problem is the maximum wage. Billionaires not paying taxes while they pay slave wages and hand out mandatory maximum hours. Our current US Representative has spent his entire career trying to enable his plantation's slave labor instead of figuring out how to make his plantation environmentally sustainable and a good source of sustainable income for our citizens.

Citizens, What responsibility do we have? How do we handle corrupt politicians? Vote out incumbents who voted to bail out banks and billionaires again. $75K each!

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?

• 24 hour work week. 4- 6 hour shifts is the most productive and will make it easier to make social distancing shifts to get back to business.
• Bail Out American Citizens Not Billionaires. Vote Out Corrupt Politicians who voted to bail out Big Business again instead of US Citizens at 75K each.
• Anti-Slavery Campaign. Maximum wage should be 10X Minimum Wage.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Oversight of Corrupt Legislatures who financially benefit instead of helping WE the People.

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

Lincoln. Roosevelt.

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

I can only model myself and I represent every interest in my district.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

We are from Grand Coulee We make your dam electricity and want your dam respect. We love our God, our Guns, and our Family and We want to be left alone by an over reaching government into our personal lives, our private property. We love our land and we want rich soil, clean water, and clean air.
