Expand all | Collapse all

First and foremost, I am a citizen of this planet. Second, I am an individual who loves and cares for his fellow human beings. These are the qualities that make up me and my district. I currently reside in Central Texas, where I work as a caregiver. I am the son of a military veteran and hospital nurse, a brother to four and friend to many people. I am the next representative of Texas State HD 55.
  • Focusing on plans and policies that would make our planet more sustainable
  • Ensuring equal rights to all and committing to reduce racism in the state.
  • Establishing free and fair voting rights.
Crime, poverty and economics. We all know these three are intertwined, and I believe that if these three are handled properly, then we would see safer communities.
I look up to my fellow Piscean presidents because my leadership skills and qualities are similar to those of Washington, Madison, Jackson and Cleveland.
The Bill of Rights.
Courageous, compassionate and sacrificial
Compassion, sympathy, open and compromising.
Have the heart to do good for the People.
Have more Rainbows of color in office.
The earliest events I remember, both when I was 6 years old, were the 1996 Summer Olympics and the Yugoslav Wars.
My first job was being a cashier at McDonald's. I've held that job for 2 years.
"Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. I like foreign literature and that book is an intriguing story about a leader.
Carmen Sandiego. I always loved the idea of traveling and seeing the sites and artifacts. Would I take them? No...well, maybe. For fun, like Carmen does it.
"Bote" by Lindita Halimi
Being taken seriously.
One that is harmonious and mutual. A relationship where they are able to work out any issue with ease.
The rapid growth and changes. New residents moving into Texas, climate change and a high aging population will increasingly become a problem.
The biggest benefit is that it wouldn't take long for leaders to discuss their bills and policies. They would be able to get done with ease.
Not really. They need an UNDERSTANDING of government, politics and their respective communities.
Why of course! Strong relationships help get the bills and policies passed in the legislature.
I favor an independent commission consisting of multiple people from different parties working on the maps.
Yes! I would like to be part of the Elections, Education and General Investigating committees.
N/A
Yes. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Maybe city council, but other than one no.
All of the stories regarding housing costs have been the most touching.
Why did the monkey fell out of the tree? Because he's died.
Depends on the situation(s).
Yes! When you have compromise, you have results.
