Morning America, Steve Icem here, it's March 16th, Friday, here at the beautiful state of Sacramento. It's filing day, Canada finally starts today to 16th and 12th day, and it ends and it's ended on the 30th of March. And we have a number of candidates with us in Clay Parkhead Clay, to help with the speaking speaking. Clay is running for court here in Lichten County, and this is his first time to run for any public office. So we're looking forward to his presentation today, and I'm sure this will be some interesting questions. And so again, for a pass through Saturday, I'm going to be in the Friday morning, 7 o'clock. Please join us here at the Casey Mott, here at the center of the state, here at Shawnee's. It's very affordable. So next week, Steve, Icem signing off. Clay, it's me, Fawn. Thank you. And see you in America. And again, you see it's always entertaining, because you never know what's going to happen with questions, and it's this very dynamic, losing to us. Well, next, we have Clay Parkhead Clay was an expert role model, right? How would you throw it? You can take a break. You can take a break. You can tell you about that. Come on up. You know what I'm going to say? Sit back down. Sit back down. This is Clay's first time in the folks. So as well, let's give him a warm welcome and thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I follow orders where I thought he said sit back down. I was sitting back down. My name is Clay Parkhead. I'm from Liesville. Born and raised in Liesville. My parents, and well, they go back along Lies, but 1700s. My family's lived in Lexington. Mostly in that end. We branched out a little bit because we got there from local CPAs. That is because of tonight. But I went to the baseball league for high school. The graduate in 77. And after graduating, I looked around a little bit. I think I went to college right off. I was 30 before I went to college. But I kind of didn't know better. I was on the dean's list then. But I went into law enforcement in 1979 in baseball. I started off as a city police officer. And I worked through there. I went to work for a Governor Campbell in 1992. I worked for him for four years. He left office. And from there, I went to state transport police. And I retired in 2006 from the state transport police. And at the moment, my brother and I were on a towel business. We installed ceramic towel. Remodeled bathrooms. Got a website name. We talked about it a little bit. Got a hard one. We had a got a hard one too. But I'm running for a car. And I know that's not really exciting. I know when you run it for Senate or a school board and different things, you can really get behind it. And you say, a car and they say, oh no, I'm going to talk to you. And nobody wants to see the car. I don't understand that. I don't want to see the car become a car. That's not one of the big things that you look at. And you see somebody walking up the door. That's not a good thing. I've had to deliver a few of those messages. Because my long-awaited personal career is not a good thing. You do the best you can with the information you get. I think it's time for a change. Election can. I'm a former carter. Present carter has been there since 1997. A year I graduated from the hospital. I've been sitting since then. I've been a full-of-long post-of-the-career right now. Right here in Lexington County from the Jordan. I did work for a couple of years in the Calam County. It's a deep share. I worked real close with the carter in Calam County. And I told Steve this door for the carter in Calam County. He was named Hort Schubert. And his heart was a real math fellow. He was golf pro at the Calam County Club. And he had one on it. And he played golf better than one on. And most people play with two. We never did go to the ride with Mr. Hort when he was going on the call. Because he called him on the radio. He was trying to drive. He was trying to ask the radio. And the car was all over the road. You want to pay attention when you're with Mr. Hort. He didn't let you drive. He could help me. He was a nice guy that we worked closely for several years while I was in Calam County. I'm certified by the state as an investigator, as a police administrator. I said I did my time in public safety when I said to the youth. I said, my job is right here in Lexington County. I'm a homegrown fellow. I'm going to stay here to rest in my life. I'm not going anywhere. Whatever it takes, I'm going to still be in Lexington County more properly only. And I pay my taxes like everybody else does. Better than coming in. But if you go out there and you see the signs, it's Clay Burst. You can look at that sign now and you say, well, I saw it. It felt like. Not in a bad way. I wouldn't write you a ticket or anything like that. I didn't necessarily be a thing all the time. I like the thing that tickets help save lives. And that's what I think our highway patrols and our public safety folks are good at. They're good at saving lives out here. Our fire department. They're good at saving lives. But I think it's time for a change in Lexington County. And I think I'm the man for the job. And I appreciate you in this point. What is the difference in a highway patrol on that of transport? The state transport police is responsible for the commercial vehicle laws. Big trucks, tractor trucks. As far as authority, they have the same authority as the highway patrols. They're hard to put in the public safety. I got a brother who passed the highway patrol to the right here in Lexington County. Clay, did you work with Beatmop, but it'd be a Medcalf ride? Yes, I'd be ducked. I just feel sorry for you. I appreciate it. This is my life target brother. I just want to congratulate you on having two warms. I think you will think of this. Thank you very much. I'm not much at golf, though. You think about this? You think about this? Yes, I know. Oh, safety lives. Is that the jet? Slow and recorded? No. Transport officers, safety lives. I think is saving lives comes down to you. How we patrol, city police, church departments, EBS, fire departments. They do a great job out here working these highways day in and day out, helping to save lives. I think by the time the car gets a call, it's a little bit late to save a life. There's nothing wrong with talking to folks and lighting them to them. I'm sorry to say, but I think the car does job itself as defined by love. It is not in the same context as saving lives. You mentioned that now is time for a change in the car in office. Why is that? Well, the biggest change that I think you need is he's saving seven years old. No, all my life just by. Doesn't get around real well. Doesn't drive real well. I do. I get around well. I get around well. I'm a certified driver. I taught pursuit driving and precision driving. I had to police the car with a basic class. I get around pretty good. I might be a little bit, I still move pretty good. I'm just curious, are there any certain medical knowledge requirements needed for a corner? I would imagine that. I'm not sure what the problem is. That's the game of agency. That's the main road. There is a group of people who have to swear about half of the data they are. Sure. They are on the street. It's a strict guidelines. It's not as far as medical, I've done just as many other types of cases as any other corner. That's why I said to you that I asked me to do all types of cases. I've never heard of them. The car is up in the middle of the middle of the middle of the part of that process. That's a medical issue. That's a much stoke. Do you have any other questions? I saw your sign yesterday. I didn't know you were running, so I just definitely blessed today. I'm going to have to ask you to ask that. You're right about that. It's my first time seeing you. I hope that works. Thank you very much.
