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?

Elect Entrepreneurs into CongressElect Combat Veterans into CongressRestore Our Civil Liberties and Reduce the Size of the Federal Government

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am proud to have zero political experience and after speaking with thousands of Iowan's this is clearly my biggest strength. The people of Iowa are frustrated with career politicians and are desperately seeking people who are solution oriented. There is a sharp distinction between being a politician and being a representative, and as your future representative I will be putting the needs of Iowan's ahead of the needs of myself.

I am excited to bring my business acumen to Washington. One of the greatest threats this country faces is our national debt. As a successful business owner I understand how budgets work and I will work diligently to balance our nation's budget. In addition to reducing our national debt we must also reduce the control that the federal government has over the people and we must remember that the federal government does not oversee the states but rather the states oversee the federal government. I will be seeking ways to help hold our federal government and it's officials accountable for their actions.

Congress must also continue it's fight for the unborn. We will continue to introduce pro-life bills but we must also think creatively if we want to save the lives of millions of unborn children. We have to make adoption cheaper and make the process easier and we will save many lives in this country.
