In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an Army veteran and trained Combat Medic with over 25 years of experience as a Healthcare Administrator. Originally from Omaha and raised in Houston, I eventually settled in Arizona, dedicating my adult life to giving back to my community by building teams that provide best-in-class healthcare.

Growing up in low-income neighborhoods in Houston taught me the value of hard work, which earned me a scholarship after high school. However, I chose to turn it down to pursue a calling focused on the service of others. My professional reward has always been ensuring that members of the community receive the help they need.

With over 20 years of leadership and team-building experience reinforced by my military service, I consider myself a leader dedicated to the people. Having traveled extensively across the United States, from major cities to small towns, I have gained a firsthand understanding of the common struggles Americans face. These experiences, combined with my professional background, have shaped my ability to lead effectively and compassionately.

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?

People First, Because I am From The People and For The PeopleIt is time to elect a representative who cannot be bought and who will consistently prioritize the needs of the people above their own.Together we can and will take your government back and give it back to the people.

Healthcare, education, tackling the root causes of affordability, stopping corporate take over of residential property.
