| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | After retiring, I had more time to dig deeper into the problems we are having in our country, and I learned the extent to which our government has progressively gone astray. Similarly, some of our elected representatives have been voting in ways that I could never have imagined. I have contacted my representatives, both at the state and federal level but my concerns were seemingly overlooked or just disregarded. Some votes and actions that have been taken by our politicians are not aligned with the Constitution (as written), and many decisions taken by our legislators no longer represent my values or priorities and those of my neighbors and community. |
