The Only Independent Voice in America

I am an Independent candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives for New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District.

What I Stand For. What I Can Fight For.

Life, Liberty, and Sustained Happiness

Our leaders should instill guiding principles so that families, communities, schools, and other nations desire to live freely and become successful based on merit, via sharing and collaboration, not marketing and competition. We should have the right to make choices affecting our own bodies and be empowered with unique identities.

Education, Healthcare, and Humanities

We are living in an age where bravery and intelligence is at an all-time low. We need renewed education focused on truth, risks, and conscientiousness for new ideas, universal healthcare and education, and a Freedom Dividend — to guarantee God-given rights of clean water, healthy food, and an affordable home.

Security, Technology, and Free Enterprise

We should protect our families and our nation at all costs and enact laws accordingly with Congressional oversight. We should create ethical technologies and embrace automation and artificial intelligence to promote individual ingenuity, causing small companies to emerge and economic innovation through creativity.

The Constitution, Freedom of Expression

Our lack of goodwill and courage has allowed a degradation of our human rights to take hold as exemplified thousands of times on Internet media. We should insist that our teachers, doctors, politicians, and law officers are the brightest, most caring, quite simply, noble. We should select, elect, encourage, and promote the best of us.

The Story

I am an Independent candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives for New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District. As an engineer (my trade) and teacher (my passion), I have a unique combination of skills and perspectives that have always enabled me to approach issues and problems fairly from a variety of angles. I’ve always had a deep love of comedy, theater, music, and entertainment.

I’m experienced in education, engineering, technology, healthcare, law, finance, operations, and humanities and have a broad understanding of the issues affecting New Jersey’s communities. My life has been a journey of growth, so much so, that I’d like to give back to make a positive impact.

Key Issues and Positions

Issue #1: Free Speech and Expression — All forms of expression should be protected and never prohibited, censured, or limited. Everything we do should be upheld with the First Amendment in mind, the rights that all individuals should retain — speech, press, assembly (protest), grievance (protest), and religion.

Issue #2: Healthcare and Education — Each should be universally free with private companies and academic institutions serving as non-profits providing specialized services. Profiting from education, healthcare, or any public service should not be permissible. No one adult should attain a higher standard of care than another. Everyone has a right to attain knowledge and live pain-free lives.

Issue #3: Technology and Innovation — I promote digital literacy and universal access to a Free Internet and would ensure that advanced research and development in technology adheres to ethical standards aligned to the principles of the Constitution, the rights to privacy, security, and anonymity. Caution and oversight is needed in areas like artificial intelligence, but automation will bolster creative companies and produce economic growth via individual, household ingenuity.
