Hello Mr. Brakey - I am not a resident of your state, or a member of the republican party (or any party specifically-hope you wont hold that against me), but I would still like to ask you a few questions regarding your positions on a few of the more pressing issues you will encounter in Washington. As a Senator your votes will impact every American - even me all the way down in South Florida, and I don't think I will be alone in wanting to know where you stand. Since seeing your Steemit post I have been looking at your congressional voting record, your main benefactors - funding sources, and I have even watched, and read transcripts of a few of your speeches. I like to be at least somewhat informed, and the best way to see how a politician really thinks - is to look at how they voted in the past, and who is giving them their money.

Because you haven't been in Washington too long (which is probably a good thing), I was only able to find nine (9) votes you have made thus far. In looking at your voting record, the first bill that stands out was also your first sponsored bill "LD652 Concealed Carry Without a Permit", not only does it show your connection to the Paul(s), it gives (me) indication that you will lean more toward the constitution than the "R" after your name. There are a couple more bills on your record that give me hope (I would like to say confidence - maybe after your reply) that you will always do whats in the best interest of the people, not the party - "LD180 Terminal Patients Access to Experimental Treatments" being the perfect example. There are also a couple votes that give me cause for concern "LD319 Medicare for Reproductive Care", but i'm not naive enough to think we're going to agree across the board - so far so good...

What really amazes me is how you were able to get yourself elected with only $41,000 in donations - if that is actually the case, well done. Granted I don't have access to your personal contributions, PAC, and Super PAC contribution data - however considering you are asking us to help you get elected to another term, I would like for you to share that information with Steemit and the voters of your state.

The next few things I would like to have your position on, are generally related to national issues and Donald Trump. I would like to know your opinion of the job (or lack there of) he is doing, your position on the recent provocation of North Korea, your position on the Russia election issue - and weather you believe it to be "fake news" or not, I would like to know how you stand on the ACA, how you will vote on reproductive rights issues in the future - abortion, alternative energy, and last but not least, if and when it comes before the senate, will you support removing the president from office - and please provide "actual" reasons supporting your positions - not party line BS or talking points.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you...
MDG...
