Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
I want to manage and lower the U.S. Debt. I am a principled conservative that would vote against any and all attempts to raise the debt.I would support the full and total release of the Epstein files and fight every group, organization, and bureau to do so. This includes fighting corruption and removing money from all foreign interests.I want the U.S. to stop being the world's police. I would never support a war of choice or any other country dragging us into an unnecessary war.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am passionate about fight corruption with in our government. I feel that corruption is the main driver behind the U.S. debt and the unaffordability crisis that mine and younger generations are suffering with.
