| Collapse all
I am a Libertarian running for New Mexico State Representative in District 17. I am a UNM graduate student who is passionate about reducing the inefficiencies in government.
- Our body our choice
- Government is wasteful and inefficient
- A contract is between an employee and employer
I am passionate about fiscal policy including a free market and social liberation.
I look up to Gary Johnson who is from my state of New Mexico and ran a successful Libertarian campaign for president. He also happens to be an avid skier like myself.
Honesty, integrity, and accountability.
To leave my community more free, efficient, and prosperous than it was.
I was nine years old when 9/11 occurred.
Residential Property Manager while I was in college. I had this job for about 2-3 years.
I love finance books. I have always had an interest in math and business growing up. Finance was the perfection combination of both.
Probably what ever pop song my partner had playing on the radio.
I believe the important difference is the State House represents smaller districts thus has a more diversified voice. It allows areas with a smaller cluster population to not be drowned out by larger metros.
I believe the opposite. Career politicians do not have real world experience in other sectors like business and non-profit. Their career is to be elected instead of leaving your career to be elected and make a difference.
This relationship should be minimum as the power of both branches should be reduced. However, the few interactions they should have should be cordial. We are all here to try and improve our state. The more time we spend fighting the less time we spend improving.
