My Young Americans Healthcare Plan (YAHP) leverages TRICARE to save American families at least $5000 annually and end medical bankruptcies. TRICARE is a market-based and battle-tested healthcare system built by the US Military serving 10 million Americans today. Using TRICARE, the YAHP provides universal healthcare coverage for all children, young adults and expectant mothers, while also offering low-cost healthcare options to everyone else. It will save the US Government billions, but also reduce the cost of healthcare across the board for families, businesses and state/local governments. This is a pragmatic, proven and easily verified solution to solve the problem of healthcare access and coverage for all Americans.My plan to fix housing affordability: Offer zero-interest, 15-year amortizing loans to qualifying families for starter and existing family homes.

Home Interest rates ~6% (30-year) burden families with thousands in annual interest expense. Zero-interest slashes payments for immediate affordability while building wealth fast—families own outright in 15 years with no interest drain, accumulating equity to break the renting and perpetual mortgage cycles.

How do we do this at no cost to taxpayers? We give families access to the same quantitative easing programs that banks and asset managers get to level the playing field with the ultra wealthy.

Affordability today + generational wealth tomorrow. Let's make the American Dream real again.Congress is broken.

Approval ratings are dismal—currently less than 20% with disapproval over 65%. This reflects widespread frustration with gridlock, self-interest, and ethical lapses among the 80% of us in the middle.

To fix this, I support congressional term limits, a full ban on public stock trading by members & spouses, and ending special privileges.

Term limits bring fresh perspectives and accountability—83% of Americans back them. Banning trades stops insider profiteering from nonpublic info; 80%+ public support across parties.

I'm running for Congress to represent the 80% of us tired of partisan politics and career politicians. I want government to work for everyday Americans again.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I grew up in Chester County and returned here to raise my family.

For much of my life, Chester County was known as one of the best places in America to build a life and raise children. Sadly, that's changing. Skyrocketing costs of living—especially housing and healthcare—are making it increasingly difficult for families to thrive.

That's why I'm running for U.S. Congress: to fight for policies that help families and businesses of all size in Chester County, Berks County, and across our region afford to live, work, and grow here.
