About Chris
Christopher David Borcik graduated on May 26, 1982 from the esteemed United States Naval Academy located in Annapolis, Maryland. In this memorable photograph, Chris is flanked by his mother and grandmother, as they replace his epaulets from the Naval Academy with those of an Ensign in the Navy. His father, a career naval aviator, captured this moment in time. His parents and grandparents have long since passed through the veil of death, yet this moment remains a powerful symbol of what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Chris distinguished himself from his Navy peers as a frontrunner before departing for a 30-year flying career at a major US airline in December 1988. With more than 35 years of experience in the Navy and the airline industry, Chris had the privilege of flying extensively throughout our nation and to various parts of the world, gaining invaluable knowledge and skills. He shares his experiences in his book, "I Cannot Come Down."
"As someone who has explored the world, I can confidently say that it is undeniable that every individual yearns for the same basic human needs - the desire to belong, to be valued, and to have a meaningful existence."
After graduation from the Naval Academy, Chris dedicated his life serving our country in the Navy, including two deployments while serving in the anti-submarine community (VP) flying the P3C Orion aircraft while stationed in Brunswick, Maine. Prior to his assignment in Brunswick, Chris served as an instructor pilot for NFO's (Naval Flight Officers) at VT-10 in Pensacola, Florida.
Chris excelled throughout his short stint in the Navy, including his time as a student pilot, having received the honor of "student of the month" and first in his class. He completed his flight training by being named to the "Commodore's List with Distinction."
Chris' commanding officers consistently evaluated his performance as a frontrunner, recognizing his performance as, "conscientious," "dynamic," "self-motivated," "industrious," and "exceptional," and "will succeed in any environment!"
Chris has a profound understanding of human nature, a skill he honed from his interactions with thousands of passengers when he served as a commercial airline pilot. Additionally, he has filled many roles in his community, church and home, including coach, teacher, mechanic, fundraiser, leader, designer, counselor, artist, writer, planner, and family man. Not afraid to learn new skills, Chris tackles any challenge with faith and confidence.
"I am vying for the prestigious title of President, as an independent candidate, driven by the necessity for non-partisan ideals and unwavering ethical leadership."
Chris believes a president should be independent of political parties. There has been only one president who did not belong to a political party, our first, George Washington. Washington warned us of the divisive nature of parties in his farewell address. Let us honor his legacy by electing a candidate who embodies the same qualities he possessed: integrity and a willingness to serve the nation's interests above their own. We can, and must, usher in a new era of unity and progress for our great nation and it begins with recognizing the importance of electing an independent president!
Today, more than ever, America demands a leader with unyielding integrity and a true passion for serving the people.
Christopher David Borcik is that person.
"Integrity is high on my personal standards of behavior and service has been my life."
Becoming president is undoubtedly a monumental achievement, but let's not overlook the importance of the journey itself. Remember Ross Perot, who ran as an independent candidate in 1992 and brought attention to our national debt? That national debt is now 124% of GDP and rapidly growing. It is fast approaching $34 Trillion. The government spends more than $6 Trillion with a $1.7 Trillion deficit. This is unsustainable! Adding to this reckless spending is the Federal Reserve's monetary policy which is driving our economy into a recession and it may very well be the worst in our lifetimes. Chris articulates the monetary and fiscal problems in his book, "I Cannot Come Down," and offers a practical solution.

With the looming financial crisis, it is imperative that we have a leader who is knowledgeable about the root causes and can chart a clear path forward.
Allow me to recount the parable of the aging patient. A gentleman of distinguished age, plagued by high blood pressure, IBS, and sleep apnea, sought help from the expertise of three different doctors. Each physician prescribed the necessary medication or therapy to alleviate the patient's symptoms. Despite the diligent care he received his health gradually declined as time passed. Every few years, another colonoscopy would reveal benign polyps and fiber supplement recommendation would be repeated. His CPAP therapy would also get tweaked from time to time. It wasn't until his sleep specialist suggested "functional medicine" that the patient found hope. This doctor had been studying functional medicine for quite some time and believed that there were many other factors at play that could be addressed with proper nutrition and daily habits. The man began his quest for answers and discovered that proper nutrition is the foundation of good health. The body, designed to self-heal, can be thrown into chaos without the right nourishment. After implementing strict dietary changes, the man lost a staggering 40 pounds in just two months. He no longer needed blood pressure medication, and his IBS and sleep apnea significantly improved. Formerly reliant on fast food and other less-than-organic fare, the man's health was transformed by the simple act of changing his diet. Even though he had exercised regularly for years, the dietary changes were the key to his success.
Let us draw a parallel between the parable and our current government, which is overwhelmed with a plethora of prescriptions aimed at solving the complex social, political, and economic issues of the day. With each passing predicament, a new remedy is prescribed, causing a significant dent in our pockets (taxes are rising, and national debt is ballooning). Similar to the incessant tweaking of the CPAP therapy, old problems are addressed with changes, regulations, and higher taxes, leading to an ever-growing bureaucratic labyrinth. Our politicians, like doctors, tend to specialize in one aspect of our social and economic well-being, oblivious to the holistic approach. A rare gem of a doctor broadened her knowledge to gain a panoramic view and offered a practical solution, but alas, few heeded her advice. Similarly, one in three politicians, if not fewer, comprehends the big picture because the majority of constituents clamor for more prescriptions and more government programs. Consequently, our politicians continue to prescribe more remedies, such as healthcare for all, or merely tweak the current medications, as evidenced by the 50+ modifications in the 83-year history of Social Security. This approach has failed us.
The solution for good government is simple.
Restoring the social, political, and economic health of our nation necessitates a keen comprehension of human nature and the implementation of "functional medicine" in our government. The onus falls on a courageous and forthright physician to guide the patient towards change, rather than the reverse. The government has played a role in creating social issues, and additional government intervention is not a panacea. In fact, government solutions have often exacerbated rather than solved problems. As the body can self-heal with proper nourishment and fewer synthetic drugs, our society can also recover with proper nourishment and less government intervention. If elected as president, Christopher David Borcik pledges to facilitate the direction necessary to restore our nation's health.
