Why I'm standing
I believe that I can help grow our economy and personal wealth by implementing a plan that focuses our collective efforts on the banking, finance and investment industry rather than the tourism industry.
About me
I know that I will be a very good mayoral representative. I am 63 years old and have over 40 years of experiential competence in ministering to the socio-economic, political and ecclesiastical needs of others. I have worked in the constitutional law and treaty law arena since 2005 and have worked on the most controversial treaty claims to date – the WAI 1572 and WAI 1596. I am a five-generation farmer and a three-generation Hamiltonian family man.
My priorities
- Super grow the economy to escape generational debt and all forms of poverty.
- Adopt an inspired written constitution to safeguard native freedoms and civil liberties.
- Survive any foreseeable end-of-life event and prepare for rebuilding economic infrastructure.
