Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Meet Alex “Lundy” Lundmark, ‘young and raw’ running for Florida’s Governor. His 2018 last-minute run was a warm up for this 2022 campaign. Today, Lundy is a commercial pilot, crypto asset manager, and real estate broker with intellect, tenacity, and a broad range of experiences that he proposes will create a 20-year dynasty of democratic-inspired growth and progress in Florida. The ‘new to politics’ politician states, “I have the greatest chance of convincing more Republicans to join our cause during the general election than all other democratic candidates combined, that’s what its going to take to turn Florida blue, not our current path”

But, who is Lundy, and what audacity moves him to think he can win Florida? Adopted at 10 from a Russian orphanage, the “unofficial leader” of 30 children found parental love from a Florida couple, both school teachers. Leadership was instilled by his mentors, but Lundy held insights via early experiences with those kids he shepherded. The children, a diverse group, were a myriad of personalities, just like our legislators. This translated to empathetic, non-reactionary, wide-thinking leadership style. Lundy envisions Florida’s transformation through well-designed policies. Consider them for yourself at MrLundy.com

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?

• Just like you, I am tired of hearing our elected officials share their “Thoughts and Prayers” after a senseless tragedy. A new year is upon us and with a new year comes new opportunities. Many politicians are not concerned about the victims of Gun Violence and an average Joe may have forgotten about the victims, but I will not let them forget those the previous administrations failed to protect. They are the fallen soldiers we all forget. They are the victims of Gun Violence. We must continue to make our state safer from reckless gun violence. Not only will I focus on banning military-style weapons from our streets, but I will fight against a culture of Gun Violence. Continue at MrLundy.com
• The system we formed to protect us is now the source of our anxieties. Every day we fall victims to similar problems that are repetitive, common, and hazardous. In the next four years, lets transform the criminal justice system without delay. Law enforcement must transition from warrior policing model to guardianship model. Our law enforcement union is a disgrace and let our communities down. In order to preserve our unions, they must relinquish control over the arbitration process. To change any organization, we must invest in proper characters. Leadership must lead with integrity, ability, and honesty. While at the same time introduce programs with proper incentives that focuses on hiring well-trained individuals with bright minds .
• At this moment, out of necessity, there is a complete structural change going on in our markets. We must proactively realign future pension assets to be managed to make sure pension programs, throughout the state, are around for the next 100 years. What happens to your pensions when the largest bull market in history makes a healthy correction? Can you or even the State afford the timing of that correction? We will reallocate pension programs to hold min of 10% to max 25% of Crypto Assets that are approved by the State. This will realign today's pension assets to reflect tomorrow's opportunities. Pension Reform Act is a great way to put money directly into the hands of pension beneficiary who do the essential work for our society.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I just named Three.. Gun Violence. Public relationship with law enforcement. Mental Health. Pension Reform. Voting Rights. Education. Tourism Industry. Small Businesses. Environment. All Communities. Etc

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to everyone around me. I choose to carry on their best qualities and leave behind their bad.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Ones that modernize government services, public work programs, and strengthen our social safety nets while at the same time bringing about honesty and effectiveness in our local governments.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

leadership that focuses on our community's inner struggle rather than outward conformity. Let's promote ones who are willing to incubate future technologies and improve State infrastructure to accommodate those technologies. Ones that modernize government services, public work programs, and strengthen our social safety nets while at the same time bringing about honesty and effectiveness in our local governments.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To protect every resident from external threats, including viruses. Ron had sacrificed over 45,000 of our residents for the benefit of capitalism. What an asshole.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I will not be able to solve all the "problems" but my goal is to lay building blocks for a foundation where future leaders can build on.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I was recently picked up from my Russian orphanage by my mother that was in prison since the day I was born. I was about 6 or so. I remember my mother arguing with a man, maybe my father, on the balcony of sky scraper. When I turn around, my mother was gone. I looked down over the balcony and I see her lifeless body on a roof of a restaurant. To this day I do not know if the domestic violence confrontation led to suicide, accident, or murder, but once again my life changed.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was working for Indian River County Rec Department. I was the "cool sexy kid" in the concession stand where I sold candy to the summer camp attendees. I had it just for the summer.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Spreadsheets. I like numbers.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

No idea, this survey was way longer then I expected,

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Thats to personal.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

love

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

To solve the next generation's problems we must have leadership that is able to look out for the greater good of the entire whole and not down "political lines".

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Today we are suffering from escalation of mental illness. Mental health is the number one threat to humanity even above climate change. To reduce shootings, mental health needs to be addressed. To reduce our health costs, mental health must be addressed. To reduce depression, mental health should be addressed. Do you see where I am going with this?

More people kill themselves than dying from all wars and all disasters combined. Lets create a place where conversations can be started. Since past trauma is the number one cause that determines the likely hood of ones reaching their god given potential and since past traumas are difficult to process, we must expand our mental health to new frontiers in therapeutic psychotherapy treatments. This includes the legalizations of weed asap. This includes the legalization of mushrooms, this includes the legalization of all drugs on day one.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Its to dirty
