I'm a father of two beautiful children and a husband to an amazing wife. I've had a passion for politics for many years, but I never saw myself getting involved until now. I want to be your voice in Washington DC and ensure that everyone's voice is heard. Together, let's make a difference!
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?
Independent voice on the Ballot .Together, we amplify the voices of the forgotten for a brighter tomorrow.a better America for all, not just a select few- because everyone deserves a brighter future.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I'm passionate about:
Healthcare: Access to affordable healthcare is a basic human right, and yet millions of Americans still lack access to the care they need. As your representative, I will work to improve the Affordable Care Act and expand access to quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans.
Climate Change: The effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent every day. As your representative, I will work to pass legislation that reduces our carbon footprint, invests in renewable energy, and protects our natural resources for future generations.
Education: Our children are our future, and it's crucial that we provide them with a high-quality education. As your representative, I will work to increase funding for public schools, reduce the burden of student debt, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
