Where Chai stands

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

Honesty. Honesty. Honesty. Honesty, and HONESTY. I am sick of self-serving liars who do not serve the people that they represent. Some say that "Honesty is the best policy." But I say that "Honesty MAKES the best policy." I have a master's degree in epidemiology, and I understand statistics. I also know how word games and manipulated statistics can mislead people. This is how bad policy gets implemented time and time again. I have zero reasons to lie, and I have no desire for power. I just want to fix problems and do it with data, and pragmatism, and honesty. I can be mistaken at times, and if I am wrong, I will admit it. But I won't lie.
