Why is it important for you to run for office?

"I believe I can do my share to help the Democratic Party find its way along the challenging road it's on."

What makes you stand out as a candidate?

"I'm very inclusive, good at bringing people together. I'm used to looking at the big picture and finding solutions. I made my living for 12 years writing and problem-solving for nonprofits."

What are the three biggest issues you would like to address if elected?

"Getting big money out of politics. Big money spends billions on politicians of both parties, and reaps trillions. A 20-year study looking at opinion polls and related laws found that the opinions of 90 percent of voters had pretty much no impact."

What is one thing you want the voters to know about you?

"I want to represent you - that means seriously listening to your views."
