Why are you seeking elective office?
There is too much goverment in our lives. We need help in extreme cases and we need basic services. We do not to be allowed, as much as possible, to make our own decisions.
The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.
Inflation is too high. Gas prices are too high. Politicians are using the power of government to further their personal interests.
What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
I have stood up for the general public as an elected official on live TV while others caved under the pressure of public scrutiny. Others have voted against the best interests of the public to save their own selves. Or others have not yet passed this stressful test of integrity.
If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)
The current Reps for Ward 7 repeatedly side for the government's interests or their own. They use speculation and fear to guide their decisions. They assume the individuals of the public can't make their own decisions.
Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.
What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
The best advice ever shared with me was:
Hard work is nothing more than work that should already have been done.
What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
My success in life is the result of patience and determination. Anyone can succeed in this same way regardless of their appearence or environment.
