Reason for Seeking Public Office:
My mother always says, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." I am fed up with bipartisan politics and the hypocrites at all levels of government. Our elected offices go to the highest bidder and rich candidates backed by their elite friends spend millions on advertising claiming to be just like us. As an Independent candidate my chances of winning this election are slim to none, but my goal is to push the conversation in a positive, progressive direction.
