Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m an ordinary Chicagoan with exceptional zeal who broke the norm, building a better life with the resources I had at hand. I am a successful businessman with vast experience in leading diverse teams to a common goal of success, proud father of two and devoted husband.

A natural entrepreneur, I earned my first money at age 8 selling soda on a neighborhood street corner. I started my first business, Lombardi Trucking, by age 22. Presently, I own and operate Chicago's premiere digital marketing company and runs multiple internet companies.

Born and bred on Chicago's southwest side, I went to nearby St. Laurence High School and later attended Northwestern Business College.

As the next Congressman, I will use my business skills and my love for this country to positive changes. You can count on me to secure our borders, back the blue, improve the economy so wages can increase, help small businesses, and protect our Constitutional Rights.

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?

Secure the bordersUse business skills to improve economy and fix nation’s financesStrengthen public safety and stop the dangerous radical agenda that puts criminals ahead of victim

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Strong borders are essential - Without strong borders, we do not have a nation

Law and order are to be respected - Support law enforcement, first responders and the great work they do every day in maintaining peace, safety, health and unity throughout America.

Small businesses must survive - Small business is the backbone of our economy

Protect our Constitutional Rights - Our Rights are being stripped away

Control Federal Spending - We need to put government spending on a diet so we don’t go bankrupt like Greece. Every time Congress passes a huge spending bill we are robbing from our children’s future. This debt is too big from our generation to pay down so we are putting this burden on them. As a father, I strongly believe that this is wrong.

Education - Unfortunately, schools are spending more time focused on indoctrinating our children than teaching them to read and write. I oppose the teaching for critical race theory

Term Limits - Our founding fathers did not want a political class to govern us.

Affordable Health Care - Health care insurance costs should not be exceeding mortgage payments

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

Jesus Christ has been important in guiding my life and my values. I try to live by his words and deeds.

Ronald Reagan showed us peace through strength. He was the original Make America Great Again. His positive vision is what our country needs right now.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

John Maxwell’s book on Leadership.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, leadership, caring, and humility.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I listen to and try to understand people.

I have signed the term limits pledge, therefore, holding office it is not about a career for me, rather it is about representing the People.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Simple but often overlooked, represent the People who elected you.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to be known as someone who loved his country and worked tirelessly for the People of whom he was elected by.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 was a pivotal event in world history which marked the falling of the Iron Curtain and the start of the fall of communism in Eastern and Central Europe.

I was just 12 years old, but it opened my eyes to how great we 'have it' in the United States.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first real job was installing radios and car alarms all different make and model vehicles. My employment lasted a little over a year. I found early on that working for yourself net more money and allowed more freedom.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible

As it's said, there is nothing new under the Sun that is not in the Bible.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Captain America, Iron Man or Superman. They all have a duty to protect the people.

Captain America protects American values; 'protecting American values' is missing from the heart of many in Congress.

Iron Man is transparent, brilliant and always comes through.

Superman loves humanity, even when humanity didn't love him. Nonetheless, Superman served a higher purpose.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Blake Shelton - God's Country

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Workaholic. I continue to learn how to balance work and family.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

U.S. House of Representatives is the people’s House.

Unfortunately, with this professional pack of career politicians, it is the House of special interest. That’s why I support term limits.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No, our founding fathers never intended for the people to be represented by politicians.

Case in point, the current status of politics in our country.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Law and order are to be respected

Control Federal Spending

Protect our Constitutional Rights

Helping small businesses recover from the pandemic

Affordable healthcare for all Americans

Immigration

Election integrity - ID voters for proof of citizenship

Removing Leftist indoctrination from public schools

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Appropriations, budget, oversight and reform, Small Business

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes. It keeps elected representatives responsive to people. For example, many incumbents are pushing the defund the police movement and teaching critical race theory. In a little more than a year, we can throw them out of office for going way too radical.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I support term limits on Congress.

Our founding fathers did not want a political class to govern us. They wanted regular people to serve and then go back to their community. Unfortunately, we have a ruling class right now. They don’t live by the same rules as we do. Furthermore, they don’t listen to the people.

They are more concerned about power than serving the people. As the next Congressman, I will support the legislation to create term limits on Congress.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Jim Jordan

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?

Yes. During the lockdowns, a man was looking to sell his family's hot water heater in order to feed his family. He owned a small restaurant.

We can do better!

Tell us your favorite joke.

I'm know for random one-liner dad jokes; fun, creative and spontaneous.

There is no way to say I have a favorite or a go-to, rather, I use what 'fits' the moment.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I do not.

We need Congressmen and women with better negation skills. That is how we will save America from the Left.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I am fundamentally against raising taxes
