Why are you running?
This country is headed in the wrong direction. Socialism will destroy all we worked so hard for.

What is your platform?
Eatontown has lost a lot of small businesses. Getting them back will help keep taxes down.

Do you have previous experience in the world of politics and government?
No

What are the most important issues facing your constituency, and how do you plan to deal with it?
Taxes and growth. The two are linked and need to be addressed together.

Why should voters vote for you?
I have an extensive history in working with people. After 28 years of military time and extensive time supporting Ft. Monmouth, I would encourage people to speak with me, and I will work with them. There are no dumb suggestions (to an extent!)
