Civil Diplomat-Transparency and Democracy

The single most pressing issue facing our (state, district, community, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I am stand alone in support of our Beloved and duly elected President.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

Mayor Kevin Mckeown has done alot of good in his lifelong service but on some other stand points, he has failed to stop the looters. He has also failed to imagine Santa Monica as a manufacturing wheel and entrepreneurial opporitunity zone. The over taxation of the city residents is proof that creative innovations have been replaced by congressional trends towards Democratic socialism.

Why should voters trust you?

Blarny. It's not the Publics job to trust the Government it's their job to make a decision about who to vote for. I have nothing to say but Blarny be. I put my trust in the Lord God alone and in our Constitution neither should anyone else' do anything less.

Taxes shouls be used for special programs like anger management for Cops whom surcome to the stress they acquire on the Job. Emergency services and housing.
