The single most pressing issue facing our state is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.
Overburdensome government. Work on essential item like infrastructure that benefit all of us and trim the fluff.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
Being a Libertarian I not in the two party battle for control where i am not concerned with buying votes to get control. I would be an independent voice for the people.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
Ran a small business and studied in business and finance.

What steps should state government take to bolster economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic for local businesses?
Stop making rules. An educated public can decide on their own what are the risks to their lives and what precautions to take.

How will you address the calls for racial justice and police reform?
We Libertarians believe in equal rights of the individual and have worked for that all along. Other parties put into effect laws that treat certain groups differently. Police need to lose their special immunity from lawsuits.

List other issues that define your campaign platform:
Limit the powers of "authorities" (such as airport authority) that have become section of government which have powers to tax without direct representation. "taxation without representation" I would like to see these be voted on by the people affected.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
Like many of you I am tired of BIG government bullying and spending on things it shouldn't.
