What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The Founders knew from their dealings with a tyrannical monarch that "absolute power corrupts absolutely." Therefore, they placed protections like checks and balances and the separation of powers in our Constitution to ensure that not one person or group of people could be more powerful than another-even solidifying the idea that "governments...derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" in the Declaration of Independence.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
For nearly ten years, I worked as First Assistant Secretary of State. In May of 2018, I became Secretary of State and was elected in December 2018. I know what the job entails. With the threat of cyberattacks and some who wish to make our elections less secure, we don't need on-the-job training.
