As a Missouri construction worker, I’ve seen jobsites where 50-80% of the crew speaks little or no English. I’ve personally witnessed near-fatal accidents because critical safety instructions weren’t understood. Simple fixes become impossible when an entire crew can’t communicate with me or each other. Whole trades in our state are being overtaken by low-wage foreign labor—legal and illegal—driving down pay and pushing lifelong Missouri tradesmen out of the jobs they built their lives around. We deserve real, dignified enforcement against illegal immigration and serious reform of a legal immigration system riddled with fraud. Protect American workers, protect workplace safety, and put Missouri families first—without losing our humanity.Healthcare and credit card interest - As a father of four boys, healthcare costs have crushed us. Premiums and deductibles have eaten most of my paycheck—forcing me to quit a good job because I couldn’t opt out and the bills kept piling up. I could take $2 less per hour elsewhere, skip insurance, and still come out ahead. Surgeries, illnesses, and uncovered costs drove us deep into credit-card debt. We need more healthcare options and real competition to lower costs for families—not bankruptcy. We also need a 10% cap on credit-card interest rates. These predatory rates keep millions in debt slavery. Missouri families shouldn’t go broke keeping their kids healthy.Foreign Influence - Proud Americans deserve leaders who answer only to us-not bought and paid for by any foreign nation. No more 20-year wars. No more 20-year “memorandums of understanding” that tie our hands while others profit. We must purge all foreign influence from our government and our media. End the endless river of foreign aid and reinvest every dollar in American communities and American families. How can a supposed ally’s leader come here, lobby influencers, and openly call our free press an “8th front” in his war—an 8th front aimed at the American people? And where is my congressman, who demanded billions for that same nation, now that our sovereignty is mocked in plain sight? We demand loyalty. America first, last, and always

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m done watching our nation fade. I have four boys—I’m fighting so they inherit a proud, sovereign America, not a hollowed-out shell. I refuse to stay silent as endless migration guts local industries, endless wars are orchestrated abroad, AI displaces American workers, foreign influence corrupts our government and media, and even our own representatives sell out to overseas special interests. I will not be complacent while these threats fester and erode everything we hold dear. No more career politicians. No more party yes-men.

I want a fearless, uncompromised American who puts America First and always without compromise. My sons deserve a real nation when they become men. I will not let it be stolen from them
