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?

Stop the insanity. The hard Left, which now owns the Democratic Party, has gone off the rails, and literally threatens the stability and continued viability of our Constitutional Republic. They need to be stopped.Mass immigration, both legal and illegal, threaten our continued viability. There are over 400 languages spoken in public schools today. Illegal alien crime is rampant, and sanctuary policies engender a climate of lawlessness that victimizes both citizens and aliens alike. Meanwhile, drugs pouring across the border have created an epidemic of addiction and death. Our borders must be secured and the open borders agenda stopped in its tracks..America is the most generous, prosperous nation in history, yet it is constantly vilified in media, Hollywood and in our schools and universities. Those who defend liberty and American exceptionalism are slandered, doxxed, threatened and silenced. Freedom of speech, which enables us to identify and solve national problems, is under direct threat.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about ensuring the integrity of our borders, our voting system, our national defense, our schools and our economic and political freedom. All have been degraded relentlessly and are under sustained attack.

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

I admire people who stand up for their beliefs whether they are popular beliefs or not, and stand strong in the face of the Left's unethical vilification strategies. The Left has debased the national political dialogue, reducing it to little more than infantile, elementary schoolyard bully, name calling.

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

The assassination of President Kennedy. I was in sixth grade and was 11 years old.

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

At age 14 I took my very first job at an amusement park featuring a working farm and numerous rides, called Old MacDonald's Farm. We cared for the animals, cleaned and swept the entire park daily and ran the rides. I worked there on weekends while attending high school for four years and and full-time over two summers.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Lord of the Rings - a fantastic fantasy voyage that contains all the elements of a good story: good triumphs over evil, but only after a sustained battle, engaged in by flawed characters, with the strong hint of God's intervention.
