Equality of opportunity should extend to the ability to have our voices represented in government, and that is why I am adamant about campaign finance reform, fair districts and fair elections.
Indeed, equality is the first "truth" set forth in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I am a hard worker and have often been characterized as someone who "gets things done.
