Candidate Q&A
Why are you running?
There is an immediate need for proper representation from Illinois to accomplish the most important issues facing America. Current senators, both Democrats, have failed to understand and address these very issues. Furthermore, as Republicans have been unsuccessful to nominate a candidate capable of conveying the failures of Democrat leadership, this candidate seeks to fill that void.
What do you think is the most pressing issue facing your constituents and how do you plan on addressing it?
First, the lack of integrity of many of the politicians thus misleading the public on most isues. This lack of integrity has carried through academia and the media; the two components Lenin suggested in his plan to establish the first Communistic state. And, our foreign policy affects everyone because foreign policy includes everything: culture from immigration, economy, the military, etc.
What do you think federal immigration reform should look like?
Nations are physically defined by its borders. Every nation on earth has protective borders except the United States. All illegal immigration needs to be stopped and those who illegally migrated need to be returned to their respective countries. However, a better path to gain citizenship whereas the government can be accountable.
How should the Senate address the rising costs of health care?
In broad terms, I support President Trump's 'Great Healthcare Plan' whereas to slash prescription drug prices, reduce insurance premiums, hold big insurance companies accountable, and maximize price transparency in the American healthcare system. This can all be managed by the legislative branch of government. This is includes addressing the mental health situations this nation faces.
What approach would you take on tax policy?
Per se, the 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act', which has been signed into law, significantly affects federal taxes, credits and deductions. As a U.S. Senator, I would support this tax policy that keeps money with its citizens.
Should any changes be made to the size of the Supreme Court or the confirmation process?
The current size of the Supreme Court, nine (9) justices, is appropriate and effective. There is no need to make any changes, bigger or smaller, in its size.
Do you believe the structure of the Senate leads to legislative gridlock? What would you change?
As the nation is divided, legislative gridlock exists. A simple majority in needed in Congress and sixty (60) votes are needed in the Senate to pass legislation. This creates an effective 'check and balance' system within the legislative branch. There is no need for immediate change.
What is the most pressing foreign policy issue facing the country and what role should the Senate play in dealing with it?
Foreign policy, per se, is the single most important issue facing America because it encounters multiple essential components. Our major adveraries are the People Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republi of Iran, and Democrtaic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is the fundamental body responsible for monitoring, developing, and influencing United States foreign policy. There is a need for the Senate to monitor such activities and work with other governmental agencies to achieve the best results for America and Americans.
How do you view AI and the role the government should play in its regulation?
AI can be beneficial but it can also cause harmful problems. At this early conjecture, government needs to monitor and regulate both private and public AI until such a time it can be considered safe for the country and Americans.
How will your approach differ from or mirror that of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin?
Senator Durbin was once a good moderate Democrat. However, he has moved to the far left in all of his positions; thus not representing all Illinoisans nor doing what's best of all Illinoisans. My positions, as a conservative, can make swift change in direction to capture the needs of all Illinoisans and what's best for all Illinoisans.
How would you describe the current state of your party and what changes or new approaches would you like to see your party adopt?
Unfortunately, the Republican party is Illinois is weak. This is because it's desperate and takes on middle-left positions. The Democrat party will win that battle every time and this has been proven as no Republic U.S. Senator has been elected in Illinois in sixteen (16) years and no Republican governor has been elected in eleven (11) years. The Republican party in Illinois needs to adopt the real values of the Republican party because that will ignite many conservative voters to be active and advance its agenda.
