Fiscal Responsibility
President Ronald Regan, General Colin Powell, Booker T. Washington are the statesmen I refer to for examples in forming policy actions.

President Regan statesman approach to navigating domestic issues such as affirmation action while confronting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

General Powell is example of exceptional military and public service leadership. He is an example of God, Family and Country. Throughout my military career, I applied General Powell leadership principles while serving as a commander.

Booker T. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. Currently, I serve on the board of trustees for a Historically Black Colleges and University. Mr. Washington transgenerational leadership has inspired me to continue his vision of excellence.
To be an effective State Representative, you need a foundation of core values that drive your decisions. You must be able to maintain your core ideals while working collaboratively to solve issues. We must ensure that proposed solutions are solving the identified problems. We need to listen more to the people who are in the schools cultivating our children's love of learning and families who are impacted by the State Legislature's decisions.
Interpersonal sensitivity, prudence, learning approach are qualities I possess which are ideal for a legislator.
The core responsibility is representing the voters of my district rather than a particular party.
Elected officials bequeath an important legacy after they leave office: the public’s memories of their time in office. A legacy of bipartisanship while inspiring hope and opportunity for our most vulnerable citizens will become my enduring legacy.
The September 11, 2001, terrorist attack was the first historical event that shaped my life's outlook and experiences while enrolled in the University of Alabama ROTC program.
Commissioned Officer U.S. Army 15 years
Working with the Hands by Booker T. Washington
Growing up in an extremely impoverished environment, I struggled with self confidence.
The governor should involve the legislative leadership of both parties in the formulation of policy and legislative alternatives. This can help ensure the passage of legislation by providing the governor advance guidance on provisions to make it passable and securing important advocates within the legislature. Choosing key committee chairs as sponsors and working with them before the legislation is submitted can save the governor’s office hours of difficult lobbying later on.


Escalating healthcare costs are one of the greatest challenges facing Washington in the next ten years. The crushing costs of health care are making it harder for working families to make ends meet, and they’re making it harder for businesses to compete.
A unicameral system is a government with one legislative house or chamber. Countries with unicameral governments include Armenia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Hungary, Monaco, Ukraine, Serbia, Turkey, and Sweden.

Democratic countries with unicameral forms of government are smaller countries with long-established democracies.

Bicameral legislatures provide for checks and balances and prevent potential abuses of power, it can also lead to gridlock that makes the passage of laws difficult. A major advantage of a unicameral system is that laws can be passed more efficiently. The history of a country is the determining factor in how citizens determine a unicameral or bicameral system of governance.



No, previous elected experience in politics does not translate to an effective state legislator.
It is beneficial to develop relationships. Bipartisanship involves trying to find common ground, but there is debate whether the issues needing common ground are peripheral or central ones. The United States system of governance requires bipartisanship for effective policy development.
The ideal redistricting process is bipartisan with municipalities aligned by geography.
The House Community and Economic Development Committee, Transportation Committee and Education Committee are the committees of greatest importance. The House Community and Economic Development Committee focuses on small businesses. As a small business owner with operations in three states, I understand the toll COVID-19 impacted on small business owners and working families.

Transporation Committee is vital to suspending the gas tax and transferring the funds from state reserves to the approved state budget to ensure transportation projects remain funded.

As a member of a college board of trustees and school board director, access to affordable education is important to our society. The Education Committee will provide a platform for continued support for classroom teachers and funding for higher education to include community colleges.
Senator Edward William Brooke III is a principled and model statesman whom I mirror. In the Senate, Brooke aligned with the liberal faction in the Republican party and co-wrote the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which prohibited housing discrimination.
Currently, the most compelling stories are from working families regarding the impact of rising housing and gas costs. Families are concerned about residential housing developments primary for renters rather than offering the homes for sale to qualified home buyers.
Yes, the legislature should review emergency every thirty days to extend or end an emergency order decree.
Yes, compromise is essential to policymaking. Regardless of party, elected officials are selected to represent the enter electorate.
