What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Restore the Affordable Care Act and then improve/fix the ACA.Take action to address Climate Change.Restore confidence in our government, institutions and our leaders by being telling the truth as best I know it to be and basing decisions on facts.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Climate change is a life and death issue for the planet and humanity. The longer we avoid taking action the more difficult are the solutions and the greater the impacts. The Global Change Research legislation signed into law in 1990 requires the agency to report to Congress and the President a National Climate Assessment (NCA) (i.e. the current state of the "science" and the impacts of climate change on the United States). From the NCA's, Congress and the President know the truth and the facts about the reality of greenhouse gas emissions being the primary driver of climate change.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

John F. Kennedy inspired me to be a public servant and "to make a difference" with his words "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can co for your country".

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

My basic philosophy is to do the greatest good, for the greatest number in the long run. I want to make a positive difference in the lives of people; especially those who have been less fortunate than I.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

It is most important that one is honest and truthful to build trust and confidence in Congress, our government, and our institutions.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I care about those less fortunate than I. I don't have an axe to grind, an ideology to swear to, or a special interest group to that I owe an allegiance to. I am about serving the people. I am "of the people" and "for the people".

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

I am elected to serve all the people; not just those that voted for me or a political party. In addition to making informed decisions on legislation; it is important for a legislator to keep his/her constituents well informed on the critical issues of the day (NOT the party line). It is also important for the legislator to share with his/her constituents the reasons he/she voted for/against legislation that is controversial.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would want to be know as the "peoples" Congressman. One who worked in a bi-partisan manner for the good of all the people. One whose goal was always the greatest good, for the greatest number, in the long run.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I was 17 and a senior in high school when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I came of age in the 60s which was a very violent and divisive time in our Country. The Viet Nam war (5 students were killed at Kent State by National Guardsmen), the assassination of JFK, RFK, and MLK and the racial strife following the assassination of MLK (Detroit was on fire and there were tanks in the streets). Growing up in the 60's put in perspective today's polarization and division. Today's division is nonsense and politically manufactured for political gain.On the positive side, the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and the National Environmental Protection Act.
