My name is Matthew Alcazar, I’m writing you as an Independent Candidate for the Iowa House of Representatives, District 49, the seat is currently held by Hellen Miller. As of today I have not heard of any other candidates running for the seat. I’m running for public office because of the current economic and political climate. In my mind running as an Independent is the only option for me, because I have never been affiliated with any party. I also feel if I was to join a party now, just for a better chance of getting elected I would be subjugating my beliefs before I was even elected in to office. This is one of the problems I see with most of the current politicians, they are charged with the duty to defend the Constitution and rights of the individual. I feel that they have lost sight of what their job is, because it is just a service job. We need to remove the career politicians from office and get everyday Americans into office so we can set term limits. Stop them from Voting in pay raises and get rid of the Pork put into so many bills. This isn’t a one man job but if we can get a few servants to the people into office we might be able to undo some of the damaged that has been done while the American people trusted the people we elected. I can’t say that I’m the most knowledgeable candidate for the job, but I am willing to listen and serve the people. The Marine Corp Motto still holds it’s meaning for me. “Stemper Fidelis, Always Faithful to God, Country, and Corp”.
I’m 40 years old, and have been married for 15 years to my wife Amy, and we have 2 sons and a daughter: Jordan (14), Miles (12), and Sydnee (10). The Idea that my children will have to try and pay back the dept that is out of control from decades of corruption is unjust to them. For them to be in dept before they have even begun to think of their future simply put is Wrong.
I would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with you about my candidacy and the issues. I can be contacted by E-mail (malcazar2010@live.com) or by phone at (515) 570-1456 or (515) 570-3302.
Thank you for your time
Matthew Alcazar
