I, Wyatt Bronson Clark, am a jack of all trades. I have worked in many industries including fast food, manufacturing, and corrections. I support left-wing populist policies such as Medicare for All and Raising the Minimum Wage with Inflation.
I look up to my older brother, Eric. He thinks a lot like me, but wiser.
I am a strong leader and a believer in fighting for the people!
To work for your constituents and what they need, and not those of big corporations or ideologies.
Personally, I'd like to be a great example for my kids. Otherwise, I could care less about my legacy. Would it be nice to be remembered as someone who speaks for the Average American? Sure, but I'd rather have goals done than worry about a legacy.
The first historical event I remember was the election of President Obama in 2008. I remember it very well and I was 8 years old. I remember people talking about George W Bush and the Iraq War, but I don't really remember the start of it.
Technically my first job wax working at a Food Truck in Louisville, Kentucky, and I only had it for a few months before the owner packed up shop and moved to Michigan. However, my first tax-paying job was at a Tim Hortons in Michigan, and I had it for about 5 years, while I worked other jobs as well.
The Book of Mormon, and I believe it is a true testament of faith.
Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia would be nice. He has a very simple life.
It is the only institution who can impeach an individual. It is also a fascinating part of our Government, and I have always respected the Legislative Branch.
Yes, and no. Sometimes an outsider can be a great thing, but that depends on where from the outside they are coming from. An Everyday Joe like me is great, but a corrupt businessman who's only out for himself is not.
Wealthy influence over our nation and the disempowerment of workers!
Term limits are absolutely needed!
Bernie Sanders is an inspiring figure to me, so was Robert F Kennedy.
This is my own personal story, when I was 13, my family and I were homeless and living from hotel to hotel. What had happened was, My Mom had impulsively rented a trailer near CR 208 and the Watson Island State Forest. Well apparently we found out after a few months that the women renting it to us no longer had owned it.

During this time, it was hard for us to find shelter as many shelters weren't accepting full families that included a paternal figure. I believe this is an issue that should be fixed.
In some ways, yes. It depends on what the issue is.
I would definitely aim to try to create or influence legislation financially that would help the American People.
Yes, is that not the point of the Ethics Committee?
Ethics and Ways & Means.
I believe every politician should be honest with people with who they are prioritizing, and why. I believe Americans deserve better than to be lied to by politicians bought by lobbyists.
