The candidates were asked to respond to the following question in 100 words or less:
What issue on your agenda will you tackle first if elected?
Libertarian
Daniel Wassmer
The first issue I will tackle is the perception that there is a first issue to tackle. We need to view issues globally and realize that things like gun violence are not gun confiscation issues but rather: poverty, drug, gang, education, family, mental health issues. Similarly, policing issues involve similar factors (plus race) and overly zealous government response to virtually everything. We need to approach these issues in an entirely different manner and include all of those who have an interest in this dialogue in order to solve problems. This is the best way to restore public confidence.
