Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an attorney, an infantry captain in the Florida Army National Guard, and a proven conservative outsider running for Florida's 11th Congressional District.

My track record of delivering results includes serving two terms in the Florida House of Representatives and working at the local government level as a Lake County Commissioner. Professionally, I maintain a legal practice focused on civil and constitutional litigation, having earned my bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Florida.

I am running for Congress to challenge the Washington establishment and return power to everyday Americans. My primary focus in Washington will be securing our borders, cutting federal spending to combat inflation, protecting our constitutional rights, and enacting strict congressional term limits.

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?

Enforce Total Border Security and Mass Deportation: The current crisis at our southern border is a direct threat to our national security, our economy, and our sovereignty. I will fight for a complete shutdown of the border, the immediate defunding of sanctuary cities, and the execution of a historic, mandatory deportation operation to remove millions of illegal aliens and protect the American way of life.Abolish and Gut the Weaponized Deep State: Federal law enforcement and regulatory bureaucracies have been completely weaponized against everyday Americans and political dissidents. I am running to lead the charge in Washington to systematically defund, downsize, and eliminate corrupt agencies, including gutting the Department of Justice and the FBI, to restore true accountability and constitutional limits.Fight Institutional Corruption and Career Politicians: Washington is completely broken because entrenched establishment politicians care more about corporate lobbyists and foreign aid than their own constituents. I will fiercely advocate for a constitutional amendment to impose strict congressional term limits, ban federal officials from trading stocks, and permanently eliminate the corrupt influence of special interest groups.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am deeply passionate about protecting our constitutional rights, starting with a fierce defense of the Second Amendment and free speech. On fiscal policy, we must halt out-of-control federal spending and wasteful foreign aid to kill the inflation crushing American families. I am committed to absolute national sovereignty through complete border security, finishing the wall, and mandatory deportations. Finally, I will fight to dismantle weaponized federal bureaucracies and pass a constitutional amendment enforcing strict congressional term limits.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm an army veteran and America-First conservative. I'm running for Congress because the Radical Left and the RINO's in Washington turned their backs on the America-First Agenda. I've fought in the Florida Legislature for our conservative values and now we need strong conservative fighters like Donald J. Trump in Washington who will always put America First. That's who I am and what I will continue to be.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm an America-First Republican and a veteran. I serve as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing District 32 in central Florida. I’ve been a strong ally to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has signed into law five of my legislative bills. I’ve filed and sponsored legislation on a variety of issues, such as legislation to crack down on Big-Tech censorship, mandate the use of E-Verify, make Florida a Second-Amendment Sanctuary, tighten election laws, eliminate corporate welfare, prohibit mandatory vaccines during COVID-19, and to prohibit transgender surgeries on children. As an attorney, I fought the emergency orders of Florida’s local governments through numerous legal battles during COVID-19. I serve as a captain in the Florida Army National Guard. I received my B.A. and J.D. from the University of Florida. We need Republicans who will fight the Radical Democrats and win. I'm running for Congress to make America more like Florida.
