Born and graduated High School in Evansville, In. I joined the U.S. Marine Corps just before my 19th Birthday. I was formally trained in the science of measurement (Metrology), and spent 4 years in the the service on active duty. As a metrologist, I spent almost a year as an Army Contractor in Iraq, and moved to the Medical Device and then to Pharmaceuticals. I ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, and I am running again in 2022.

Voting Rights & Voting Systems

Will you fight to abolish the Electoral College?

Yes

Will you fight to implement Ranked Choice Voting (or some other system where the Popular Vote takes precedent, and vote splitting is not incurred, such as Star)?

Yes

Scenario: It is clear just about every representative in office bows to The Establishment eventually and, so, our voting system must evolve. What do we do to get to the point of being able to abolish the Electoral College? There is a movement in place to create a National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and 15 states have already signed up. However, simply using a Popular Vote method would not eliminate any fear of vote-splitting. It is known that the Ranked Choice Voting method has gained major traction nationwide at the state and local levels, and it is believed that only RCV has a federal plan in the works to create a National Ranked Choice Voting Interstate Compact to break the duopoly and eliminate some of our current issues. With this being said, it is also clear RCV is not without its flaws. Is RCV/NRCV your preferred alternative to the current First-Past-The-Post system? If it is not, would you still be willing to use the groundswell in place that has been built around RCV to create and establish NRCV, which can then be used as a stepping stone for progressively better voting systems once better candidates are elected and not beholden to The Establishment?

The economy is like a circulatory system and currency must flow to have a healthy economy, but if there's a clot/blockage/stoppage, it creates a major life threatening condition.
