What is the most important factor that influenced you to seek public office, and why?

I have no desire to become a Senator and go to Washington to join the bickering that we hear on a daily basis. I want to stay home and raise my kids, work in my garden, and maybe even go fishing once in a while. But I have watched as my country has become utterly corrupt. Bribery is no longer hidden and barely even recognized it has become so brazen. I have been waiting a long time to see a candidate I am excited to support, whom I can be confident would serve with integrity. I have ideas that I know our country needs and my hope is that at the very least someone who will be successful might take them and use them to make my country a better place.
Candidate's own answer to the League of Women Voters, via VOTE411

What are the most important challenges facing our country, and how do you propose to address them?

The most important challenge is money in politics. Other challenges such as climate change, energy and housing prices, divisions and corruption all are protected from corrective action by the wall of money erected to keep electing feckless rubber stamps from one cycle to the next. No issue can be tackled, no brilliant solution enacted until we untether our representatives from the corrupt flow of money that elects them.
