The single most pressing issue facing our state is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.
Lockdowns and government abuse of power--I intend to replace the current representative who is supportive of government home arrests, business lockdowns, forcing people to wear masks, and other forms of governemnt overreach and abuse of power. People are tired of being treated like children by their pubic servants and are capable of making informed choices and to take personal responsibility. I am helping with the effort to repeal the governors abuse of emergency powers and for her removal from office for implimenting policies leading to the needless death of nursing home residents. Following these actions we need to lift any other government road blocks perventing people from earning a living to feed their families and pay their bills. Government hand out checks only leads us to deeper debt which will worsen our economy and kill the job market which will further hurt the working class.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
I understand the government's proper role is to secure our God-given rights and my role to defend individual liberty through an equal application of the law while restraing government within its enumerated privileges outlined in our Constitution---conversly, my opponent has abused government through policies which pander to specific social groups we each belong to at the expense of others. Her approach seeks more control over people, resources, the economy and our level of prosperity, this coupled with her divisive messaging only creates more animocity amongst the people which leads to hatred and violence--as we are seeing being played out in our nations streets. Liberty provides a much more sustainable and inclusive pathway towards peace and prosperity than socialism ever could hope to.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
I have led Michigan Campaign for Liberty as a legislative activist since 2009--learning and putting into practice the legislative process with a deep understanding of the rule of law and the principles which our nation was founded upon. I know how the corporate lobby works and how to put them in check. I am familar with the DC mechanism and will not by bullied by them.

In the past I have worked with people of different views in order to prevent freedom shredding legislation from being implemented such as the attempt by the state legislature to enact "red light cameras" in our urban areas which violates due process in communites where people cannot afford to take time out of work for court hearings over traffic ticket from a camera. We found that municipalties could adjust the timing devices of traffic lights to trap people into tickets. We worked hard to help enact wroker friendly labor laws through union choice.

What steps should state government take to bolster economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic for local businesses?
The "state" is responsible for the lockdowns and home arrests, Governor Whitmer is soley responsible for issuing over 160 executive orders, not the virus---"state government" can help by removing the road blocks they implemented and get out of the way to allow people to make decisions for themselves. There is no easy answer to recovery from an artificial destruction of businesses. Less intrusive governemnt and more freedom is the answer.

How will you address the calls for racial justice and police reform?
Justice is justice, when you add a word in front of justice you detract from its purest meaning. By this I mean whlle there are sytemic injustices, racial tentions are perpetuated by people in government who set the polcies which others can abuse. For the dominate portion of America so-called "racial injustice"
is nonexistent--it's buzz concept to enrage minorities and those who push this propaganda for political power neither beleive in the idea nor do they actually care about people it effects, their mission is political power and they use minorties as pawns in their endeavors.

Police reforms are required, even the best police departments are aware of this. We need to invest in our police such as mental and emotional support--our officers see things the average person does not and nor could the average person handle. We need less intrusive laws which frees up officers to focus on violent crimes, the drug laws must be revised and in some cased illiminated--this single act would reduce needless interactions leading to needless injury and death.

In 2019 a total of 9 unarmed black persons were killed by police.

Calls for "defunding' are rooted in lunacy and a lack of understanding, and coupled with disarming law-abiding people leaves men and single mothers defenseless from violent criminals. Finally, ours citizens want nothing to do wiht allowing criminals to run our streets, they want law and order, and a good relationship between themselves and their neighborhood patrol officers.

List other issues that define your campaign platform:
Finding answers to the problems government created requires less government and more freedom. The people want the securing of a long-term career that they build, not a job government handed them with no future. People want health care system which seeks results, not enrollment and endless testing, and they need more knowledge of trational medicine and prevention. People want easier pathways to careers such as implementing Independant Share Agreements for college and skills trade rather than allowing schools and banks to profit off of enrollment with no results upon graduation. I seek to end the inflation tax which is hidden but occurs when government creates money from nothing, artifically injecting it into our economy which robs from laborers and punishes those who try to save---this is the cancer in our society and the banks are profiiting from the people's hardship. Finally, people want safe streets, clean water, and a government that is restrained, not one filled with ambitious members of the political class who talk a good game every 2 or 4 years, deliver on nothing and are only intersted in making a name for themselves.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I do not pretend to have all the answers, but controlling people is not what government should be doing no matter what the cause--my opponent seeks greater control over people through a historically failed philosophy of socialism, I seek only the freedom of people through the unifying message of individual liberty and equal justice for all.
