Q: What qualities do you believe you have to be lieutenant governor? <\/p>\n
A: A passion for individual liberty and an understanding of what that means. I recognize that there is a great abyss between the government Michiganders have and the one [Mary Buzuma and I] would like to see. So I am willing to work with people who dont share our political belief in areas that can move us in the direction of a smaller, less intrusive, government. <\/p>\n
I also have some administrative experience on a much smaller scale as former chair of the Libertarian Party of Michigan and as vice chair. I have also served on my student council when I attended graduate school at Wayne State University. These are small scale examples and we would appoint people who were experts in state government to whom we could delegate tasks. <\/p>\n
