The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

Inflation: We have to preserve the New Hampshire advantage of no Sales nor Income tax. No other state can say this. We live within our means spending only what is needed to provide for a healthy and comfortable life for our constituents. Preserve the freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness as proscribed in our Constitution. Assuring safety for our citizens and their families. Protecting our future so that our children and their children can afford the way of life we enjoy.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I believe our current revenue sources are sufficient to accomplish the outlined goals and will expand as more industrrious citizens discover our way of life. I do not believe that our government is better at spending our resources than we as citizens of New Hampshire are able to do. Remaining open to the thoughts and ideas of fellow citizens allows me to adapt and move forward toward our Constitutional goals and preserves our way of life

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform:

Requiring those who serve us to be accountable for what they do. When our system goes off-track we must hold those who fail us to not be rewarded for failing. Immigration is out of hand, our laws do not allow everyone to come here without knowing their background. Allowing parents to choose the education of their children is not a right, it is a responsibility. Everyone needs to be more involved to protect the future of the next generations.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this position?

A successful life that has allowed me to pursue both business and personal goals that have been attained. Virtually all my business endeavors used my ideas to better the lives of those impacted. Innovative ideas that were almost always very resourceful and cost effective made nearly every life I touched the better for it.

The best advice ever shared with me was…

Make as many mistakes as you can, just never make the same mistake twice.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

That I am open to listen to the views of others. Decision making is the art of assembling as many facts about something before deciding which path to take. If everyone picked up a scrap of debris, we would all live in a clean place. Everyone needs to contribute.
