Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility. I believe that those who would take your hard earned money under the threat of the loss of your life and liberty must use every penny that they take for its specific purpose or it should be returned to you. As a proponent of those ideologies, I believe that the government must be held to the highest level of accountability and owes its citizens full transparency. New Mexicans deserve an unbiased auditor unaffiliated with the Democrat or Republican parties to oversee the audit of the past 4-years' of government spending. Tax dollars were rampantly misused across the state at an accelerated rate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and only a non-partisan auditor will give our citizens a fair and thorough investigation of that misuse. Waste, misuse, and outright corrupt use of your tax dollars is a bipartisan issue in New Mexico. The only way to uncover the truth is to vote for a third-party candidate with the conviction to find out the truth no matter who it is connected to.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am the only non-partisan candidate.
• Honest audits cannot be performed by partisan politicians.
• You deserve a fair and independent audit.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about all areas of public policy that limit individual rights. Free New Mexicans unhampered by the weight of government bureaucracy provide solutions far better and more efficient than the government is able to provide at all levels. I believe that individuals are far better at determining where their money should be spent than the government is, and dollars are better kept in the pockets of citizens than returned years later with no earned interest in the form of relief checks. Freedom is the solution to every government created problem in our state and our country.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
