Hello! Thank you for clicking on the link and welcome to my WordPress blog page. I started this as a private blog while I was working as a medical resident back in 2018. During the pandemic, I revived it for a bit to share some of my controversial opinions as I wondered if I would have a future at all within the medical establishment system. So far, I continue to navigate as a licensed MD working in a low-income clinic and I have learned how to protect my own energy as I encounter overwhelming situations routinely through my daily work.

I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Presidential campaign, and I appreciate the opportunity I have to support his political efforts as a slightly veiled confession of my controversial ideology. I read Substack articles by Toby Rogers and Meryl Nass and I read books by Peter McCullough, Suzanne Humphries, and Bobby Kennedy. I’ve listened to the Highwire and watched interviews on Children’s Health Defense. And I still work in a clinic that recommends COVID booster shots and the childhood CDC vaccine schedule.

Most of my patients are adults, and most of them do not have a primary doctor when they come to see me. They have been on chronic opioids prescribed by a doctor now retired, or they have been in the hospital with a mental health or physical health crisis. They have been on the streets or they have moved here recently from Central America, Mexico or African countries. It is interesting and meaningful to show and provide basic medical care for demographics where the needs are high.

The reason for this post is not about my work at the clinic. I am intending to put my name on the ballot as an independent (We The People) candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in district 43B. In order to qualify, I need to collect 500 signatures in less than 2 weeks, by June 4th at 5:00pm. I am building a team of volunteers and supporters to help me with this ambitious goal, and you are invited to be part of this effort.

I will use this page for updates and events. I intend to host at least 3 events before the deadline, and I will distribute signature-collection sheets to neighbors and volunteers who are willing to help reach this goal. With 10 volunteers, we each would need to collect 50 signatures. And if we can get 50 volunteers, then we could each get 10 signatures, maybe with as little as 1 hour of door-knocking. Does this math make sense to you? Leave a comment below or send a message through the contact tab if you would like to be involved.

Tentatively:

May 28th Potluck and Meet & Greet

May 30th Potluck and Strategy Coversation

June 1st Morning Door Knocking

June 3rd Final Signature Collection Rally

June 4th Petition Submission
