I believe in the American dream for American citizens! I'm running for Congress because I'm tired of the elites on both sides destroying our Veterans and Working class on both sides. The elites are sitting back laughing at us because we have lost friends and family over party politics. This election is crucial for the working class American citizens!

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Many of them so far. You can see the passion and disappointment they have towards our current elected local official. He hasn't done anything for them, yet they continue to vote because of the letter next to his name. Not the job he has done. It's time we make history and vote for me, I'm going to people the people voice!
