I’m running for governor because I feel called to do whatever I can to improve crucial social and financial situations in our state.  As governor I realize my responsibility of safeguarding the common good.  Our structure of self-government is being replaced by a system of self-seeking entities instead of a government of, by, and for the people.  Many in various forms of authority have abandoned the basic principle on which this country was founded, and that is that our rights are God-given and we have to exercise any authority we may have with respect for this reality.
