What office are you running for?
AR House District 76
With which party are you running for office?
Democratic Party
Election Date
November 3, 2020
Why are you running for office?
I’m running to improve state revenues, improve our education system, and to be a voice for those underrepresented, especially young people.
What is the biggest issue facing your community and how do you propose helping?
Poverty, specifically poverty. I’m going to propose an overhaul of our tax system, restructure our revenues, fund research into moral profitability while implementing said research, and then not vote for raising my own salary or pension while cutting other programs.
How do we fix the partisan divide in our country and start working together again?
The answer is, well we don’t. Not at the moment at least. We have to have a solid education restructure and a level care of standards of evidence and factual basis. We also need to work on media bias and how it is filtered into our public, even though that’s nearly impossible. It will take multiple presidential generations in order to fix.
Who is your hero?
Jackie Robinson, number 42, my favorite number as well.
What are your hobbies?
Game Development and design, playing games, basketball, volunteering, R&D, electronics or any kind including computers, YouTube, and most importantly spending time with my wife.
What is the most recent book you read?
Does “How to Run for State Office AR 2019” count? It was giving by the state, originally read it as a PDF. People at the capital were really surprised!
Do you have any kids/pets/talking houseplants?
I wish we had a pet or a talking houseplant. Me and my wife aren’t really feeling a kid at the moment, maybe someday!
How can our readers get involved in your campaign?
