Biggest Issue Facing District 1: Unconstitutional extensions of federal power.

Nash Solution: 

If the federal government is kept in the "box" of the Constitution, most of our problems, including our financial mess, would simply cease to exist.

2nd Biggest Issue Facing District 1: Financial Situation

Nash Solution: 

Balanced Budget Amendment to eliminate deficit spending, long-term plan for debt reduction, tax reform that is business and investment friendly, foreign and national security policies that put America's interests first, elimination of unconstitutional departments (like the Dept. of Education), deep cuts to unconstitutional and ineffective programs.

3rd Biggest Issue Facing District 1: Immigration Reform

Nash Solution:

Tighten border security first, eliminate incentives that draw illegal aliens across border, a path to citizenship that places the health/safety/security of Americans first and protects American jobs, holds illegal aliens accountable for breaches of the law, and gives them no preference over legal aliens who are following the rules.

Why are you the best person to represent District 1 in Washington, DC?
