Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a husband, a father, a conservative, and a Minnesotan who believes public service should still mean service. I’m running for Congress because too many people feel like Washington no longer listens to them. Families are working harder, paying more, and getting less in return, while the people in power too often seem focused on politics, headlines, and special interests instead of the everyday concerns of the people they represent.

I believe in faith, family, freedom, personal responsibility, and loving your neighbor. I believe government should protect our rights, defend our country, support safe communities, and be a wise steward of taxpayer dollars. I also believe we should be compassionate and serious about helping people who are struggling, especially children, families, veterans, and those trying to get back on their feet.

My approach is simple: tell the truth, listen to people, work hard, and remember that you represent everyone in your district, not just the people who agree with you. We do not have to choose between conviction and compassion. We can stand for strong conservative principles while still treating people with dignity and respect. I’m running to bring common sense, accountability, and a spirit of unity back to public service.

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?

Washington has lost touch with everyday Americans. My campaign is about putting working families first again. That means fighting inflation, cutting wasteful spending, protecting taxpayers, and making sure government does the basic things well instead of trying to control every part of our lives. People deserve a representative who listens, tells the truth, and remembers who sent them there.I believe we need strong communities built on safe streets, strong families, good schools, and real opportunity. I support law enforcement and first responders, I support educational excellence and parental involvement, and I believe every child deserves a real chance to succeed. We should protect the vulnerable, support those in need, and help people rise — not trap them in broken systems that reward dependency and waste.Our country is too divided, and too many politicians profit from keeping it that way. I’m running to be a principled conservative who can also speak to independents, moderates, and anyone who is tired of the anger and dysfunction. You do not have to abandon your values to treat people with decency. I believe we can defend freedom, restore accountability, and still bring people together around truth, fairness, and common sense.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am especially passionate about fiscal responsibility, education, public safety, and policies that strengthen families and communities. I believe taxpayers deserve accountability and that government should root out fraud, waste, and abuse before asking families for one more dollar. I care deeply about education because parents should have a strong voice and every child deserves access to a quality education. I’m passionate about supporting law enforcement and first responders, defending constitutional freedoms, and making sure our policies encourage work, responsibility, and human dignity. I also care about helping vulnerable people in ways that actually restore lives rather than grow bureaucracy.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I am grateful for the support and encouragement of respected voices including my long-time client and friend, Lee Greenwood. I’m thankful for every endorsement, but just as importantly, I’m proud of the support we are building from everyday Minnesotans who want principled leadership, common sense, and a representative who will fight for them. Additional endorsements will be announced as they become available.
