QUESTIONNAIRE:
Please answer the following questions, using a total of 400 words or less to answer both:
1)What distinguishes you from the other candidate(s)?
The incumbent is devoted to President Donald Trump, and will not find fault with him even as Trump has sabotaged America’s health though stubbornness, ego and incompetence.
I am an old fashioned Republican who sympathizes mightily with Black Lives Matter after having been integrated in second grade right after Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. I have served on our school board and find Secretary of Education a disaster for public schools.
I am a long time admirer of Teddy Roosevelt and his crusade to preserve America’s lands. I am appalled at the massive destruction of the earth’s environment at the hands of Donald Trump’s imitators which has been all but obscured by the President’s childish and constant tantrum induced tweets.
In addition, since the beginning of my public life I have reported from elective office on the activities my elected office for 14 year s on my blog: www.lincolndemocrat.com where I give the public candid and extensive information about my work. I will do the same should I be elected to Congress.
2)What are your top three priorities if elected?
A shocking 70 percent of Americans were living with very little financial cushion before Corvid-19 hit. This has been aggravated by the reluctance of Donald Trump to do anything until he threatened public schools financially if they choose not to keep children in school this fall. Undoing Trump’s damage to nation and the Republican Party is my overall concern but these are my priorities.
1.We must honor the memory of Teddy Roosevelt again. Concern for our Earth’s rapidly degrading environment, that has been obscured from public view through a blizzard of Presidential tweets, must become our leading concern. We should no longer pander to the Trump wannabe’s and dictators that our President has favored during his first term of office. They are encouraging the burning of the Amazon and hiding the burning of Siberia. In sum, these and other devastations are a hundred-fold more threatening to Earth than the tens of millions of deaths the Corona virus is sure to inflict.
2.Health insurance must be made widely available.
3.Enriching the rich should no longer be the Nation’s, or the Republican Party’s, top priority.
