I am a political psychologist researching the harmful effects of America's two-party system and what motivates elected officials to behave as they do. The people want better political options. Both the Democratic AND Republican parties look beyond the mark, failing in the true purpose of government. My mission is to restore Congress to its true, intended function. Representing the people; not the money, not the party bureaucracy— the PEOPLE.

• PROPORTIONAL VOTE, FAIR ELECTION • Political parties deserve to nominate candidates – only proportional to their registered voters. • This will help us solve REAL issues and overcome centuries of bureaucratic misrepresentation. • Applied consistently across all levels of government, without partisan bias. Example: Utah has 4 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Only about 50% of state's registered voters are affiliated with the Republican party. The Republicans should only nominate 2 candidates to any of the 4 seats. This does not mean Democrats get the other 2 seats, as the party only has about 20-25% of voter affiliates. They would nominate only one candidate, and would still have to battle independents and 3rd party.
• AFFORDABLE HOMES, STRONG COMMUNITIES • Regulate large out-of-state corporations buying rental properties. • Protect lower and middle class from unjust displacement by private owners. • Build more apartments and starter homes to stabilize the housing market.
• EMPOWER TEACHERS, ELEVATE EDUCATION • Classes should have more support, more than one teacher per class. • Better compensation for teachers, and clear responsibilities for student benefit. • Personalized curriculum to address academic learning differences among children.

I feel that the federal government needs less power, and the states should have some of that back. We need to decentralize taxes. Taxes should stop at the state level and be budgeted more by the states' legislatures. States should pay dues to the federal government as approved by congress. This would work better if the 17th Amendment is repealed (U.S. Senators chosen by state legislature, not people). This would be a direct antagonization to bureaucratic political corruption.

Elected officials must be driven to fulfill the true purpose of their office (House of Representatives represents the people – not political parties or other institutions; Senate represents the states' legislatures, President represents responsibility – not publicly)

I know who I am and what I represent. I am a man with a mission and will do what it takes to restore congress to its true function.

Someone running for this office must represent the people above all else. Not the party, not the money – the people.

My legacy will be breaking the two-party system to fix congress.

Two years is usually enough time to see if the representative will be of good service.

Term limits would really help Congress if we can break the two-party election system. That needs to happen first. I am in favor of term limits for U.S. Congress.

Decentralized tax. Taxes stop at state level. Every expenditure needs a public label and a reason the expense is necessary.
