For Karen, public service means being a servant, not a master. That means doing what the people want legally under the constitutions and doing so by example.

A servant should not be better paid and rewarded than those in the private sector, so Karen proposes to accept no more than 80% of the wages paid the incumbent. Such an example should encourage other elected officials to reduce the cost to the taxpayers for their offices.

Karen has no desire to serve any longer than she is needed, and certainly not more than two terms when she would be seventy years old.

Leading by example was the hallmark of our first president and it is worthwhile to emulate that practice.
