I do not think anyone can answer topics from -private on this public mailing list without breaching project rules, but I'll try to alleviate your concern in a general way. After graduating from Harvard, I left engineering and entered a career in commercial real estate, where I remain licensed. For twenty years, I have helped clients achieve their objectives. While I have no legal training, an average transaction requires me to read between 100 and 6,000 pages of newly drafted and existing documents. (My total transaction volume is about $2.5 billion to date.) I am good with foreseeing conflict and proposing solutions to parties who have opposing interests. In short, I negotiate for a living. Compromise is my life. As for the situation from November 2021, I have a plan that I believe will work. If elected, I will not hesitate to implement it. For future challenges, I'd have to see what they are. Thank you for your question! Kind regards, Felix Lechner
