I'm registered as Non-Partisan. Therefore I can easily work with Democrats and Republicans at city hall. My views are across the political spectrum. I believe all forms of unnatural pollution need to be eliminated. By unnatural I mean heavy metals and carcinogens. Carbon dioxide is natural and plants convert it into Oxygen. For this reason I am a minimalist when it comes to tree trimming.

All neighborhoods should look equally beautiful. Sidewalks should be lined with trees and potholes should be fixed. I want the roads to be so smooth that Formula 1 race cars could drive on them without a problem. The problems of childhood obesity and after school teen violence can both be eliminated with mandatory physical activity programs after the end of a regular school day. By the time the children go home, their parents should be there and they would have had their exercise for the day.

Politicians make too much money, I believe we need to cut their salary and make them accountable for the budget mistakes they make. Career politicians lack fiscal responsibility; fresh people need to be voted into office. The money politicians receive from lobbyists makes them work for the lobbyists and special interests instead of the people. I'm not collecting money for this campaign, as a result I will only have the people's interests in mind.
