Public Health Issues

In my lifetime I have experienced multiple situations with our FDA where I don’t feel that all possible solutions to health care problems are pursued especially when no profit is involved. We need an entity separate from the FDA to more rigorously pursue all the options for healthcare solutions especially cancer. Cancer costs us $200 billion a year and is a solvable problem. Cataracts cost us 3.4 billion a year and for just some drops in your eyes you don’t need the surgery.

Fairness, Justice, and Constitutional Principals

As someone who has worked on even the design of a nuclear weapon I am especially concerned when our country doesn’t follow our own Constitution. Our Constitution is our Bible that we must follow especially when it comes to The United Nations, NATO and our allies. We must respect human rights and international law and should not be regarded as a bully nation.

Experienced and Professional

My engineering training and my experience in private industry and with the government makes me especially qualified to work within our government to solve the tough technical problems that we are faced with. You can expect the best researched solution to almost any problem we are faced with including politics, technology and health.

Strong Vision

Strong vision requires weighing the impact of not only the priority of the problem but also the impact of the solution. Climate change puts us in that position as the more we burn fossil fuels the worse our problem is going to be. So, we must transition to cleaner energy at a pace that keeps us all employed.

Honesty and transparency

You can expect with any Green Party candidate that you will have a fair solution that represents the will of the people and not the will of big business. Our government cannot live for the fortunes of big businesses and our government must get its spending under control. I will do my best in that regard.
