Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? No. It just takes someone with courage, an open mind, and an ability to have foresight of what consequences todays decision may have in the future. If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of? Homeland Security and the Appropriations committee are my top choices. What are your thoughts on term limits? I have signed a term limit pledge and plan to co-sponsor Congressman Madison Cawthorn' s legislation to enact term limits on members of Congress.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
