- Hometown:
- Melbourne, FL
- About Me:
- I grew up in the sprawling exurbs of Florida in a seaside town marked by the nearby Air Force base and NASA launch facility. I have since lived in Indiana, DC, France, Haiti, and Mexico. Everywhere I go there are good, dedicated people ready to do their part. I hope to keep meeting more of these people and organizing with them.
- My Ideal Foreign Policy:
- Respect for the basic principles of cooperation, respect for the rule of law, diplomacy, and self-determination. In a world with dangerous weapons, we need to reach a peaceful coexistence based on justice with our neighbors, who after all are people just like us.
A violent foreign policy puts us all at much greater risk. - Live by the sword, die by the sword.
