A long term Libertarian, I believe that the government that governs least, governs best. Too often politicians believe in the quick, short term fix, without considering the long term effects of their policies. I am retired, with prior experience in retail management, casualty insurance claims administration and wholesale customer service and sales, for both small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, as well as a short stint in state government.
  • Diversity in Education should be encouraged, not restricted.
  • Eliminating governmental impediments to business start ups and unnecessary licensing requirements are the keys to a healthy economy.
  • The two dominant political parties are spending too much time fighting each other and not enough time listening to the public.
Reducing the scope and cost of state government.
David Bergland, for his ability to deconstruct complex issues for all to understand.
"Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt and "Libertarianism in One Lesson" by David Bergland.
Honesty and paying attention the the Law of Unexpected Consequences.
Determination to reduce the size, scope and cost of government in New Mexico.
Alerting the voting public to the Unexpected Consequences to all propose new and revised legislation.
The State Government did not grow in scope or cost in my two years in office.
The assassination of President Kennedy. I was ten.
In sixth grade, I was the janitor at a local furniture store three weekdays after school and Saturdays.
" The Moon is a harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein, for its clear way to explain how limited government can work, and why centralized government cannot."
Professor Bernardo de la Paz
"A Place at the Table" by The Contenders
Understanding why so many eligible voters do not register to vote.
Some say the Senate Represents entrenched interests, the House ordinary people.
No. And we should have term limits on all elected positions.
Reducing the number of jobs dependent on the government.
The Governor should be the administrator of the state bureaucracy and the legislature should be adjusting the state scope and budget to reduce its impact and cost to New Mexico residents.
It is beneficial to reach like minded individuals interested in reducing the size and scope of state government.
Education, Energy, Environment & Natural Resources and Taxation and Revenue.
Libertarians and like minded others will always find a way to work together. A figurehead leader is probably not necessary.
Gary Johnson, perhaps.
