Expand all | Collapse all

I am a medically retired veteran of the United States Army, having served in active duty and the national guard for 10 years before being declared disabled. I've worked in the service and security industries and have been a resident of Flint for 6 years.
Education. National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), Michigan ranked No. 33. In the next decade, I want to see our K-12 education ranking go up to the 20s. Our children deserve a better education than they are receiving now. Secondly, I'd like to see Vocational or Trade Schools given equal credence by K-12 schools as a viable alternative to a traditional college.
Honesty and Transparency.

Voters must be able to trust their elected officials, and the best way to build trust is by being plain, honest, and transparent with my intentions.
When to be "hands-off". Not every problem or issue needs to have a law made. many times the more laws that are made just create more problems for the people to deal with or have to work around just to continue normalcy.
Through my efforts, I want to leave Genesee county better off than when I first moved here.
I worked as a supervised apprentice for my father's pest control company. I worked with him for a year until I joined the Army.
Catch-22. The book itself taught me how to view problems and issues from different angles.
some catchy little techno number that was in a YouTube video. I didn't catch the name of the song.
I think the best relationship between the two would be a watchful one. Both the Governor and the Legislature should be ready to check each other when they overstep their bounds and authority.
A decline in careers. Michigan built itself up with the auto industry, and when the industry left Michigan it began to decline. With so many people and so little meaningful employment people have lost hope. If we bring in more gainful employment we can hopefully reverse this decline and bring prosperity back to Michiganders.
A unicameral state legislature can vote and pass legislation fast as it's only 1 house, but this loses the reason that we have a bicameral legislature in the first place. The House is to be a direct line to the people, and react quickly, while The Senate is supposed to be slower and debate. This setup assures that nothing is done too rashly.
No. I believe that the common citizen is the best representative of their constituents because they're peers, As long as a legislator wants to make a positive impact for their community, that should be all that matters.
Yes. Building common interests and concerns among legislators allows them to draft bills for specific problems that address all of their concerns.
A very simplistic one. Too much and complicated redistricting just leads to gerrymandering and can lead to a skewed view of a district that doesn't properly represent its interests.
Yes. It should be up to those that represent the people to decide what constitutes an emergency, and when the emergency has ended.
Yes, without all groups working together, no real change can take place.
