The single most pressing issue facing our state is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.
The single most pressing issue facing our state is Partisan Politics. This happens to be evident even on this questionnaire platform, where the request to name Party Affiliations is limited to only democrats and republicans. I identify as a constitutionalist, being a member of the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan, and our resolve is for the government to follow the Constitution. I hope in the future your organization can become inclusive and non-discriminatory towards the alternate choices of affiliation. In the meantime, as Wayne County Commissioner I plan to protect our public parks and golf courses from speculative profiteers obtaining opportunities to buy public land without competitive bidding at questionable prices. This type of activity is a symptom of Partisan Politics, where party stalwarts turn the blind eye to further each other's agenda. We need greater accountability, which the alternate political parties can provide.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
I am a business man, not a career politician.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
40 years of experience in Insurance, Property Management, and Environmental Remediation. 40 years of experience in community leadership as a current board member of Lifespan in Livonia, as current Chancellor of Knights of Columbus in Dearborn Heights, and past Director of Redford Township Junior Athletic Association.

MBA, summa cum laude, producing The Option To Recover, to solve the 2008 mortgage crisis. Degreed in Environmental Studies from UofM Dearborn, and diploma from Detroit Catholic Central High School.

What steps should state government take to bolster economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic for local businesses?
I miss the old days, when you stayed home when you're sick, not when you're well. This had been dictated by common sense, not by the government. The government should not refrain people who are willing to operate their businesses and people who are willing to patronize businesses.

How will you address the calls for racial justice and police reform?
As a constitutionalist, I firmly support the 1st Amendment right of assembly, and I also affirm the role of the Sheriff as the constitutional chief of law enforcement in the County. I fully support the Sheriff with the means to protect both those who protest and those who are endangered by violence.

List other issues that define your campaign platform:
I support the renewal of the Education Millage in Wayne County. I also support the two State Constitution Amendments, to allow the Public Land Trust to use royalties from mineral rights for improving public facilities, and to prohibit unreasonable search & seizure of electronic devices without a warrant.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I have been a substitute teacher for South Redford Schools, and Garden City Schools, and I am alarmed at the subtle promoting of promiscuity. This is another nail in the coffin of personal responsibility, which in turn leads to the next generation being more and more acceptable of inappropriate government activity. Will you vote for me, and help me stop this?
