Question for independent candidates

This was sent in by e-mail:

I think a good topic would be to ask the independent candidates which party caucus they would join once elected. If they choose not to join a caucus, how do they think they can best represent the interests of the 54th District without the ability to choose a committee assignment, influence the debate, introduce legislation or amendments, or have the ability to build the 50 votes they need to pass support for anything.
