What is one life experience you have that voters should know about?

I raised over $10,000 for the Red Cross in high school to help victims of 9/11. Another important touchstone in my life was the say I left the restaurant industry to work in logistics. It was frightening moving into an industry I had never worked in before, but I knew I would regret it if I didn't take the opportunity to improve myself.

What sets you apart from other candidates?

I have lived the life of the average American worker, understanding the struggle of surviving on a 40 hr workweek. There is a saying that politicians should work retail or a restaurant, and I have. I work for the regular individual because I am a regular individual. Trump was born into privilege, while Kamala Harris has been a government employee her entire adult life.

How do you plan to work across ideological lines to achieve shared goals?

As a libertarian, I have always understood that you have to work across party lines to achieve things. As an activist, I have always formed single-issue coalitions to work towards shared goals. I do not let ideology stand in the way of working towards progress.

What would be your top three policy priorities in office?

1. Balance the budget to curb inflation,
2. Creating a consensus around an Ellis Island paradigm to fix our immigration system,
3. Using diplomacy instead of outsized military power to achieve foreign power objectives.

The Committee of Seventy has partnered with the Carter Center to promote the Candidate Principles for Trusted Elections (www.principledcandidates.org) to improve the voting process, encourage honest leadership, and promote civic engagement. Do you support the Candidate Principles?
