Issues & Priorities
The phenomenon we are currently experiencing, is difficult to tackle, and at the same time a problem we cannot afford to ignore.
This problem affects the economy and social vitality of our Commonwealth.
It erodes trust in our public agencies and processes and undermines the healthy functioning of markets and competition.
It negatively affects already limited public budgets and helps organized crime groups do their dirty work.
Recent events have made it clear that the scale of the problem is serious.
Our determination to seek a higher public office is guided by our philosophy of serving others with honesty, integrity, and transparency, and putting the leadership skills we have gained throughout our careers to work in the service of others.
Our combined years of service to our CNMI community has given us the opportunity to personally interact with our community during their most difficult moments and for that, I have a better understanding of the needs of our people.
The challenges we are facing with this pandemic puts stronger focus on making sure that taxpayers money is not wasted through dishonesty or other financial mismanagement.
Leaders must avoid becoming entrenched in self-interests and making decisions on matters that are inconsistent with our morals and values.
We deserve leaders that are trustworthy.
We deserve a Commonwealth that is clean, safe and vibrant, where we can expect economic growth without sacrificing our cultural and social values.
