Slogan: "Awaken Core American Values"

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Socialism and Communism are serious threats to our faith, family, freedom and prosperity. Our Constitution must be more stringently followed.
• We must secure our borders from human trafficking and drugs and maintain a strong national defense

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My older brother, Ralph Mayberry.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity First, Service before self, Excellence in all we do. This is the Air Force's Core Values that I agree with.

I look for the following qualities in a candidate when I vote: Integrity, Intelligence, Life Experience, Work Ethic, Communication Skills.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Integrity, Intelligence, Experience, Work Ethic, Communication Skills

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Represent the people and not big government and special interests.

What legacy would you like to leave?

That I Awakened Core American Values and brought common sense to government in the areas of taxing and spending. That I worked diligently and with integrity.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Kennedy assassination. I was 9 years old. I remember my mother crying when she heard that Kennedy had been assassinated.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

At 12 years old, my Dad set me and my 2 sisters up in a farming enterprise in which we produced summer squash (Zucchini, Yellow Squash, White Scalloped Squash) for sale in Tucson, Arizona. With my Dad's guidance, we planted, irrigated, weeded and harvested the squash, hiring our peers to work for us. Harvesting started at 5 a.m. Monday through Saturday. We then washed and packaged the squash for transport to Romney Produce Company in Tucson, Arizona. This enterprise produced the funds we needed to buy our own clothes and provide for our recreation. Dad and Mom provided food, shelter and car insurance.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Superman

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The U.S. House of Representatives is intended to keep the Representatives on a "short leash," accountable to the people, as a result of the 2-year term for the office. The Representative has to earn his/her office every 2 years. Campaigning every 2 years is a hassle, but necessary to keep the Representative in tune with and connected with his/her constituents.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. Business experience is very transferrable to government business. In fact, too much experience in strictly government and politics gives a representative a mind-set of "this is just the way things are." A person who comes into government service from the business world can bring a breath of fresh to government bureaucracy. President Trump is an example. He came from a business "get 'er done" mindset and was not willing to settle for "this is the way things are done" in government bureaucracy. He accomplished the "impossible" in record time.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Armed Forces Committee, Appropriations, Agriculture, Foreign Affairs, Veterans' Affairs

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Probably. Tedious because of the constant election cycle but necessary to keep the Representatives accountable to the people.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

We need to have term limits to preserve true representative government. I advocate using the term limits on the Presidency as a guide. The President is limited to 2 elected terms of 4 years each plus 2 years of another person's term for a total of 10 years.

Representatives should be limited to 10 years which is 5 two-year terms.

Senators are intended to be a little more seasoned and stay in office a bit longer because their term is 6 years. Using the Presidency as a guide, Senators should be limited to 2 elected terms of 6 years plus 3 years of another person's term for a total of 15 years.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Andy Biggs
