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
