A Summary Of Huelskamp
Huelskamp, though not particularly vocal on the issue of the Cuban embargo, represents the interests of Kansan farmers on the embargo, and encourages the thawing of relations and the development of trade and tourism opportunities. Being a Republican from KS-01, Huelskamp has to contend with the interests of various Kansan commodity organizations, which are vocal supporters of lifting the embargo, but also the establishment Republican position of maintaining the embargo. However, Kansas is one of the largest producers of agricultural products in the country, and opening trade with Cuba would provide an attractive and lucrative opportunity for Kansan farmers to export their goods. Thus, Huelskamp deviates from the Republican position

    President Kennedy was an instrumental person in decision-making, who took a stance against the U.S. intervention in the Cuban invasion to protect his presidential reputation and position. Personal values are individual beliefs that are highly influential in the decision-making process because they want to “protect or promote [their] own physical or financial well-being, reputation, or historical position.” Kennedy made a critical decision to not have an U.S. intervention in the Bay of Pigs invasion because he did not want to stand a chance of a political fallout (Wyden, 1979). Kennedy’s personal values and determined mindset provided limitations on analyzing the best choices for success to overthrow the Castro regime. When the mission called for the need of U.S. military invention, President Kennedy refused because he was persistent on protecting his personal values and presidential image.…

    Castro ideology doesn’t fully match my congressional district because both of the other senators are both under the republican party unlike Mr. Castro who is under the democratic party. The Texas governor which is continuing to build on his record of his strong, conservative leadership is, Gregory Abbot which also a republican that has more similar beliefs in the conservative field like myself. So basically I don’t think that Mr. Castro is a good representative for my district because more civilians are like myself rather than supporting the beliefs of his ideology label. The state of Texas is very strong in the republican party and is against most of Mr. Castro beliefs which could be a problem. I think his representative figure would fit better in a district in California, a very democratic state. Mr. Castro has a lot more in common with there beliefs, such as same sex…
