Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Kentuckian and I have lived in the Commonwealth my whole life. I grew up watching family and friends being taken advantage of by our abusive system, struggling just to survive day-to-day. I have spent a large chunk of my life working in the healthcare field. I’ve learned a great deal about the pain and difficulties of life while working in nursing homes, hospitals, health departments, and rape crisis centers.

Growing up in Marion County, I can remember walking along unpaved roads, picking up cans to exchange for enough money to purchase bologna and a loaf of bread. Believe me, I understand the struggles that Kentuckians face day-in and day-out.

I am a graduate of Kentucky’s public education system (Head Start through High School). I am a proud Forever Colonel of Eastern Kentucky University. I served in the Kentucky National Guard. I am a Kentucky Colonel.

I would consider it an honor to represent Kentucky on the national stage and the United States on the global stage.

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?

Healthcare is a basic human right...especially, when we live in the wealthiest nation on Earth. I believe that it is the U.S. government's sworn duty to "Promote the General Welfare" and, therefore, provide for the basic medical needs of all its citizens. In the long run, a Medicare For All plan will save U.S. taxpayers several trillions of dollars whilst, simultaneously, making us a healthier and more productive Nation.The Military-Industrial Complex has siphoned too much power away from our compromised elected officials.

As Senator, I will:

1) Push for the immediate moratorium on all military aide (money, weapons, personnel) to foreign governments.

2) Consolidation of the hundreds of global U.S. funded military bases (Congressional Base Realignment and Closure Process)

3) Elimination of contracts that allow for "private security firms" and "private military companies" in armed combat.

4) Ending the price-gauging efforts of defense contractors who charge the U.S. taxpayer prices that far outpace inflation.

5) Ban defense contractor lobbyists from propositioning Congressional leaders.We must end Corporate Personhood

I will propose a Constitutional Amendment that clarifies that rights and liberties (enumerated and unenumerated) are reserved for individual persons and do not extend to ANY artificial entities.

This Amendment would seek to overturn several Supreme Court decisions that have granted individual sovereignty to artificial entities.

Those decisions include, but are not limited to:

Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad (1886)

Pembina Consolidated Silver Mining Co. v. Pennsylvania (1888)

Buckley v Valeo (1976)

Boston v Bellotti (1978)

Citizens United v FEC (2010)
