Priorities & campaign themes: “I look up to leaders who embody integrity, compassion, and a commitment to public service. One person whose example I greatly admire is former President Barack Obama. President Obama's leadership was characterized by his ability to bring people together, his unwavering dedication to serving the American people, and his commitment to upholding democratic values.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) Priorities & campaign themes: “For someone interested in understanding my political philosophy, I would recommend reading "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama. In this book, President Obama articulates his vision for America and discusses his beliefs about the role of government, the importance of empathy and understanding in politics, and the need for unity and collaboration to tackle our nation's challenges.”
