In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Jason Cullen, a husband, father, and unapologetic outsider running for the United States Congress because I believe the American people deserve representation that truly reflects their values.

I am not a career politician. I built my life in the private sector, where results matter, budgets must balance, and accountability is not optional. I understand what it takes to compete in an economy that often feels stacked against everyday Americans. That experience shaped my belief that Washington needs fewer professional politicians and more citizens willing to serve.

I am running as an America First Republican because I believe in secure borders, a strong national defense, energy independence, fiscal responsibility, and protecting the constitutional rights that make this country exceptional. Government should work for the people, not the other way around, and representatives should answer to voters rather than party leadership or special interests.

I am running to help restore integrity, courage, and common sense to Congress. The status quo is not working, and it is time to send someone to Washington who will fight for the people he represents.

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?

Affordability is the defining issue facing families today. The cost of groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare has risen faster than wages, and hardworking Americans feel squeezed despite doing everything right. Reckless federal spending, burdensome regulations, and weak energy policies have driven inflation and increased everyday costs. I am running for the United States Congress to restore fiscal discipline, reduce red tape on small businesses, unleash American energy production, and advance pro-growth policies that lower prices and strengthen the economy.Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Trillion-dollar deficits and a $38 trillion national debt threaten our economic stability and the future our children will inherit. Career politicians in the United States Congress continue to pass bloated budgets without accountability. I support cutting wasteful spending, reforming the budget process, and making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent so families and small businesses can keep more of what they earn while we put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path.Corruption and self-dealing in Washington have undermined public trust. Too many members of the United States Congress trade stocks, leverage insider access, and build personal wealth while voters struggle. I support banning congressional stock trading, strengthening ethics enforcement, increasing transparency in budgeting and earmarks, and limiting the influence of lobbyists. Public office is a position of trust, not a path to personal enrichment. It is time to restore integrity and ensure elected officials are accountable to the people.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about economic policy, fiscal responsibility, and restoring accountability in government. Affordability is the top concern for families, and I believe Congress must focus on reducing inflation, lowering energy costs, and removing regulatory burdens that drive up prices. I am also committed to controlling federal spending and addressing the national debt to protect long-term economic stability. Finally, I care deeply about ethics reform, transparency, and ensuring that members of the United States Congress serve the public interest rather than special interests.
