Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running to challenge the two-party system as an inefficient model for our modern democracy, to show disenfranchised Democrats and Republicans that the Libertarian party is the most credible third party and that I, a 20-something entrepreneurial leader of the Millennial generation who has run for city government, worked in D.C. on The Hill, and traveled the country and the world as a journalist and filmmaker, am a good choice to be elected as a representative for the 12th District, as I also know the area well from living and working here for over 20 years of my short life.
