ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

Immigration must have a systematic set of rules. The system today is by far to restrictive in the manner that it takes to long to process and often requires several costly trips to a few induction centers. This is due to the typical federal process of setup. The issue that is more important now is the fact that we now have issues that have been allowed to grow through "Sanctuary Cities" and such we have allowed a dangerous growth of internal threat to our Republic.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

I have worked in public service for almost 40 years. I have served as Director of Emergency Management before during and after Katrina. I have been in engineering construction type work for all my working career. I have many courses concerning homeland security as well as FEMA Public Assistance. I understand and have a great deal of knowledge of State, City, and County government as well as Federal law. I have designed and built roads, bridges, and buildings.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

Friends, my whole working career has evolved around the service and safety of people and their property. In my older days I would like to use all the common sense and training that I have been afforded to gain to continue to help our citizens. We have to bring our children's education to a higher standard! There lies the future of our next leadership.

Agree
