Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Michael Robert Tremblay, and I'm running as a candidate for state treasurer. I have lived in West Virginia since I was an infant, and love my state. There's really nowhere else like it. That being said, our state is long overdue for having elected officials who actually care about the state. Voters need to be presented with choices of normal people for office, not just upper class elites. I am running for Treasurer mainly because without the option of a write in, voters will only have one candidate on the ballot. This candidate is a career politician, and while he will most likely win the election, I believe voters deserve an option for a regular citizen. I'll be up front: I'm in my 20's, I work at an auto parts store, and I drive a 16 year old Grand Marquis. I know what it's like to struggle, I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, and I know what it's like to eat soup out of a can with fork. I know I won't win, but I hope to send a message to those in power: listen to your citizens, and take their concerns seriously. We The People have the power to replace these officials if they stop doing their job, and we will act accordingly.

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?

• We need everyday citizens in government, not career politicians
• We deserve multiple choices for a office that will have a new incumbent
• It's time to send a message to our government: the people of West Virginia should come first, not corporate interests, lobbyists, and the top 1%

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm very interested in election statistics, ballot access laws, and voting systems. This is fueled by my interest in seeing more choice for candidates.

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

Film: Thank You For Smoking
I believe it paints an important message about responsibility and choice, pointing out that true freedom may require risks, but it's ultimately up to individuals what they decide to do.

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

Integrity and transparency

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

Free thought, and admitting that I don't know everything. I'm more than willing to receive input on important matters

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

We need to know what's being down with all taxpayer dollars, so a Treasurer should be as transparent as possible

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

If I'm not mistaken it was the killing of Osama Bin Laden, I would've been elementary school age

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

Hardee's, just a few months while in high school

What is your favorite book? Why?

Call of the Wild, I've enjoyed it since I was young, and I love Jack London's storytelling

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

mrahc - Title Fight

What responsibilities of this office do you personally consider the most important?

Anything that involves our tax dollars is a major responsibility

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

No

Tell us your favorite joke.

What do you call a Alligator wearing a vest? A private investiGator! Dumb joke, I know :P

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

It's an absolute necessity

Would a state ballot initiative process be good or bad for your state?

It would be a great thing
