Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a 28 year old Master of Business Administration student at Utah State University. I'm graduating in August, just in time for the General Election. I previously obtained a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Political Science and Business from USU. I'm a family man, I love my wife and son endlessly. My wife and I have another baby on the way in May.

I come from a long line of working class individuals. Truckers, farmers, ranchers, and other blue-collar workers. Politicians don't represent the workers in America anymore. I want to change that. I care about you and will fight for you.

I have a special connection with Utah's 3rd Congressional District since many of my friends and family members live in the district, my family owns a ranch in the Uintah Mountains, and I deeply adore the magnificent natural landscape found all around the district.

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?

I'm running because I don't feel that anyone in Washington is representing us- regular hardworking, god-fearing, freedom-loving Americans. As your Congressman, those are the people that I will represent.Other Republicans won't talk about it, but their is a conspiracy against conservatives in this country. The mainstream media, government agencies, and universities are bias and antagonistic toward conservatives. The judiciary has been politically weaponized against President Trump. We need representatives in Congress who will fight against these endless attacks on Conservatives. Most just give in to the pressure and get bought out with dirty money- I won't.When I'm in Congress I will work to:

- Initiate the Great American Energy Surplus

- Fight Inflation through American Energy Production

- Get America on a Payment Plan to reduce the National Debt

- Cut obsolete programs and government spending

- Ensure America Stands with Israel

- End the War in Ukraine through attaching Peace Negotiation Mandates on Military Aid.

- Seal the Southern Border and Deport the 2.5 Million Immigrants that entered our Country in 2023.

- Require permanent and temporary-but-significant government regulations to be approved by Congress before enactment.

- Protect references to God in government institutions, documents, memorials, and coinage.

- Enact a nationwide ban on Abortion past 24 weeks gestation.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Non-executive branch term limits limit the will of the People.

I strongly support government accountability and transparency. The government must act on our behalf and they should be able to prove it.
