In their own words
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I am from Marlboro Township Ohio in Stark County. My father was a teacher of Agriculture and started the FFA at his High School. My mother was a housewife supporting my father and raising four children. We were lower middle class and did not have many extras.
I became interested in politics at 12 years old when I asked my father: Why do we (United States) always send money overseas when there are homeless veterans and citizens right here in our country? Well needless to say he had no answer to that question. I still ask this question in my head over and over.
I believe in putting our citizens ahead of other countries. Just like when your stewardess says put your air mask over your own mouth first in order to help those around you. Makes perfect sense to me.
I am a Christian believing in ceasing all abortion, funding police to keep our citizens safe in their home, making the choice over our own health decisions and along with that, keeping it private.
I will fight and VOTE for our Constitutional rights! Fight Big Techs hold on our free speech! A child's right to LIFE! I will fight against Mandates of Vaccines and Masking and all other infringements on our 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?
End Abortions!End Unconstitutional Mandates!VOTE and fight for our Constitutional Rights
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
1. Stay in Mexico Policy that President Trump's Administration put into effect. Needs to stay!
2. American Healthcare Insurance companies need to compete for business.
3. All government needs more transparency when it comes to passing bills through congress, no more sending them through in large packages
so the public cannot understand what is passing. Transparency in showing these have been considered not just saying it. Reform this area of Congress.
4. Infrastructure of old: Roads, bridges and if there is to be new infrastructure it should be discussed not just added to the list.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
My father I still look up to him. He came from a poor upbringing to raising his family and leaving a mark on almost all of his students. When I meet
students today they tell me stories of how he changed them or something awesome he did.
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Honesty above all and in all things.
Loyalty to the US.
Serving Constituents and customer service towards them. Stay on an even keel be personable.
Honoring all people.
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
Loyalty, Honesty, Personable and a fighter
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
Listening to Constituents and not doing what you think is what they should have. Spending thrifty not putting the country into debt. Speaking up and letting your concerns be known. Spending time in your district and with their projects. Some districts never hear from or see their representative and emails sent are basic and not personal.
What legacy would you like to leave?
That I met the needs of my constituents.
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?
Vietnam from becoming cognitive around 4 years to the end.
What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?
That anyone over the age of 25 can run! That anyone that is a LEGAL immigrant with the appropriate amount of time here can run.
Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?
No I do not many can learn as they go. Experience does not mean they will do the will of the people and benefit them.
What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?
Coming back from our current inflation and setting right the damage done by the Biden Administration.
If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?
Health, Judiciary
Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?
I have no opinion at this time.
What are your thoughts on term limits?
I believe in 2 terms for Senate and 3 terms for Congress. Many in our Senate and Congress bark that they believe in term
limits yet they stay in office long beyond what any public officer should, rather than resigning and setting an example.
Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?
Depends on the subject matter. Example raising the debt ceiling and folding to those willing to spend trillions
does not fix the issue. Figure out spending before raising the debt ceiling and quit caving to those who
have no financial background and cannot deal with their own household and would have the American people
pay for their student loans when they make 3 to 4 times the average American.
