What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The reality of the situation that we can't fix our budget. The US has about 175 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities and neither party is doing anything about it. The only way to survive is to allow life boats. We need to build new structures outside of our current governance. The deficit won't be an issue this election, but it should be.

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

The most important characteristics and principles for an elected official are integrity, accountability, and a genuine commitment to public service. Integrity ensures that decisions are made with honesty and ethical consideration, fostering trust with constituents. Accountability means being responsible for one's actions, transparent in decision-making, and open to scrutiny, ensuring that the public is always informed and engaged. A genuine commitment to public service means prioritizing the needs and well-being of the community above personal or political gain, demonstrating a true dedication to making a positive impact.

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

I look up to individuals who are builders and innovators, like Brian Armstrong, Balaji Srinivasan, and Norm Macdonald. Brian Armstrong, as the co-founder of Coinbase, has revolutionized the way we think about and use digital currencies, promoting financial freedom and innovation. Balaji Srinivasan is a visionary in the tech world, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology and advocating for decentralized systems. Norm Macdonald, though primarily known as a comedian, built a unique and influential career through his wit, integrity, and fearless honesty. These individuals exemplify the power of building and creating, and I aspire to follow their example by fostering innovation, embracing new ideas, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to integrity.
