Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

As a State Representative I have a solid track record which people can rely on and follow. I have sponsored and cosponsored many bills reflected in the answers I gave above. 12. The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens. They did not found a pure democracy, they founded a representative republic. 17. The Federal Government needs to get out of education policy. 21. While I agree with the premise of the question, the Supreme Court ruled so how can any law be enforced?
