Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I am a blue collar small business owner, builder and fixer who is exhausted with worry from watching my country be ran by people who are either corrupt, incompetent, or some combination of the two.
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?
Reform politics itself. Ban congressional stock trading, pass term limits amendment, limit lobbying, and create extreme financial clarity for politicians.Common sense fiscal responsibility for our country. We can't let these politicians bankrupt our country!Lets get control of AI before it controls us. We need ways to discern reality from fiction and prevent an overload of misinformation. AI can never be given the power to decide life or death.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am a conservative who is passionate about protecting our constitutional rights, especially the first and and second amendments, is pro life, supports our law enforcement, military and veterans and believe that mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. I want to limit or shrink the size of the government and protect individual liberties. I believe we should let people do what they want as long as they aren't affecting others. I want to prove that an ordinary person with no previous political experience can do the job with common sense and integrity.
