Public Servant
Be a public servant, not a politician – In most dictionaries one of the definitions for politician is like the one from dictionary.com which states, “a seeker or holder of public office, who is more concerned about winning favor or retaining power than about maintaining principles.” I want to serve the people of Suffolk with integrity, honesty, and empathy and maintain these principles throughout my tenure in office. That is exactly the reason that I am not taking donations and I am paying for my campaign out of my own pocket. I don’t think that someone should take office giving the impression that favors are owed contributions made.
