Local Republican Leaders like to Call me the "Political Scientist"

...because I put empirical research before "sounds good, feels good" policy.
 
But I'm also the "face the facts" guy because I point out Fiscal Responsibility Requires Higher Taxes. As you may know... 2 + 2 = 4.
 
Its not the politically expedient thing to do.  And i'll probably lose to a right wing ideologue.
 
But I'm not in politics so that "I can win."
 
I'm in it to because I am part of a movement of citizens fed up with broken government who want to fire career politicians and empower citizens.
 
Its time to put pragmatic policy before political ideology.
