3. Election. 

2. In your opinion, what will be the top three concerns facing the party in the next two years?

1. Election -- Utilizing and energizing grassroots organization and structure.
    
2. Fund Raising -- Making sure we have real funding and support for candidates.
    
3. Candidates -- Getting good, viable candidates, and making them feel the full weight of the party is behind them.  (i.e. Randy Horiuchi) 

3. Do you believe that you sufficiently understand the make-up and operation of the party’s conventions, Central Committee and Executive Committee to do the job you are seeking? Why?

Yes, I'm over the financial side, including the Lincoln Day Dinner.  Regarding this, I'm also the current Finance Committee Chair.  I feel I understand the financial workings of the party.

4.  Do you believe that you sufficiently understand the procedural and governing documents of the party? Why?

Yes, the Constitution governs, with Bylaws on the second position.  After that, Standing Rules take precedence, with Robert's Rules in the fourth tier of governing literature.

5. What special skills or experience do you possess that qualifies you for the office that you seek?

I'm a CPA.  I also have my own accounting practice, which gives me control over my time.  I also understand how to run large fundraising events.
