Community Service: I try to be a decent person everywhere I go. I make the world a better place one step at a time, one piece of litter a walk, one extra smile a day. To me, charity isn’t about a club membership or a pat on the back.

Statement: Our political system is deeply broken, and is in need of reform to bring more fairness, honesty, and community back. Political parties have too much power. Too many politicians forget that public office is a service, not a career.

I come from a family of service in local, state, and federal government. To me, service isn’t about what you get out of the system, but a solemn sacrifice. As a Navy veteran, I put my life on the line for our voting rights. In 2013, I stepped into a classroom filled with 21 struggling programing students. Together we caught up and got so far ahead that I had to create more curriculum. I’m proud to have upheld my family’s tradition of service.

I’m running third party to respectfully remind the Big Two Parties that they need to put the people before party politics. I refuse corporate donations and special interest money. I represent political party reform, electoral college reform, and election reform.

As Secretary of State, I will be honored to continue my family’s tradition of service by ensuring the justice and integrity of your vote, without party politics. Stand with me, and we'll fix our political system together.
