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?

Like President Trump, I'm not a career politician. Americans are sick and tired of career legislators that enrich themselves instead of serving the people who elected them. That's why I'm a strong believer in federal term limits.As a self-made businessman, I know what it's like to pull yourself up from your bootstraps and start with nothing in your pockets. I will always pursue policies that stimulate the economy, create greater opportunities for working men and women, and allow Americans to keep more money in their pocket.I take the security of our country seriously as a former Marine. As a Congressman, I will protect our 2nd Amendment rights, defend our country against foreign threats such as China, and work with President Trump to secure our border.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am very passionate about helping our country get back on track with sound fiscal policy and a focus on economic development. I employ thousands of Americans across the country, which gives me a unique perspective on how to help our country's business owners get back on their feet after the unprecedented coronavirus crisis.
