What would be your signature issue as First Lady/Man?
Reclaiming the government for the people by so that we may elect officials who are courageous and able to create institutional change — supporting peace, global environmental, human and animal well being and prosperity through monetary reform.

Who is your First Lady role model?
Eleanor Roosevelt.

What don't we know about your spouse?
Quite a lot I imagine, but what you see is what you get. There's great honesty in Dennis' presence. He's great fun, incredibly courageous and always, without fail, stands for the very best interests of the American people. He is very very loyal to his countrymen and women.

What do you like most about the campaign trail?
Meeting thousands of people who are searching for hope and truth and knowing that I am working in partnership with the one person who leads America to both.

What do you like least?
Airport check-in and security lines.

Would you expect to have a say in the President's policies?
The President's policies would be his own. Dennis has decades of experience and has a very clear vision as to what is required for America to regain its strength. Our working relationship complements the vision that he shares with the American people for a strong and prosperous nation with an honest government for the people.

What's the one TV show you and your spouse try not to miss?
We don't have time to watch TV.

What's the one campaign food that you could go your whole life never eating again?
We are very lucky in that people send us delicious vegan lunch boxes and dinners when we are on the road. There is a vegan food (snack) bar that Dennis seems to live on in his snack breaks however which I can't even look at any more.
