Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I reside in Birmingham with my wife, Heather, along with our two boys. I am proud to stand up for conservative principles and I refuse to let Michigan fall to Washington's agenda. I spent nearly a decade as a nurse caring for people in crisis. As a lawyer, I work tirelessly to solve complex problems and right wrongs. I attend church with my family at the Heritage church of Christ. I am pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-border security, and pro-Constitution.

I believe that today's politicians in Washington seem less concerned with standing up for core conservative values or finding solutions for the people that they are supposed to serve. Instead, they seem more concerned with pandering to the special interest groups that are funding their campaigns. This must change.

Congress is broken. I am running for Congress because we need leaders who will stop playing political games and actually solve problems. These days, politicians don't even attempt to have a reasoned conversation. They just spout talking points.

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?

Endless government regulations and taxes don't work. Instead, we need policies that produce a strong economy with better paying jobs and greater opportunities for all.When I talk with friends and neighbors, they worry about a system that ignores the middle class. The Democrats think government control is the solution. But that leads to higher taxes, unemployment, and more bureaucracy, where insiders reap the rewards. At every turn the middle class loses out.On health care, despite the promises, costs have skyrocketed. Congresswoman Stevens tells us more government is the answer. I disagree. When I was a nurse I saw the health care system first hand. Obamacare only added to the suffering and waste that existed within the system, creating large medical bureaucracies while doing nothing to control costs. Medicine is hard. Slogans like "Medicare for all" skip the details. But those details mean government takeover, higher costs, and gutted benefits.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a conservative, I value our Constitution. That means upholding all our rights. Those rights form the foundation of our great country. They make our country unique and they protect the weakest among us. Just as importantly, they shield us from government overreach and ensure that we remain a government for the people and by the people.

Fixing politics. Solving problems. That is why I am running for Congress.

-Eric Esshaki, Conservative Republican for Congress.
