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?

Defending Parental Rights & Educational Excellence:

As a current School Board Director, I believe parents are the primary stakeholders in their children’s lives. I am committed to ensuring transparency in curriculum, protecting parental oversight of library materials, and ensuring that our schools focus on academic excellence rather than social engineering.Fiscal Responsibility & Economic Freedom:

With 20 years of experience as a small business owner, I understand the burden of government overreach. I will fight to protect TABOR, oppose unnecessary fee increases, and cut the "red tape" that stifles Colorado’s entrepreneurs and increases the cost of living for working families.Protecting Constitutional Liberties & Rural Values:

I am a steadfast supporter of the 2nd Amendment and a believer in limited government. Our district deserves a representative who understands that rural Colorado has unique needs and who will stand firm against the "one-size-fits-all" mandates coming out of Denver that threaten our way of life.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I stand for limited government and fiscal responsibility. I will fight to protect TABOR, cut wasteful spending, and pass a balanced budget. As a small business owner, I am committed to reducing regulations, including repealing the plastic bag ban and fees.

I am unapologetically Pro-Life, Pro-2nd Amendment, and a fierce advocate for parental rights in education. I will defend our water, hunting rights, and ranching heritage from government overreach, while preserving the most beautiful state in America. We must reduce crime, homelessness, and drug, while supporting law enforcement. I support legal immigration but will work to remove illegal aliens and reduce welfare/Medicaid dependency. It is time to put Colorado families first.

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

First and foremost, I look up to Jesus Christ, my savior and my guide. He was the greatest servant and his sacrifice for humanity was the greatest gift of all and to all. I am to be a servant, too. I need not look any further, I have found the greatest example.

Where ALL, may have the joy of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A Colorado built on liberty and not on government regulation.

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

I started a lawn service company when I was 12 in Tulsa. Lord's and Ladies Lawn Care. Then my first job working for someone else was as a cashier at Arby's, I was 15 and I made $3.85/hour.

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?

Balanced Budget - Budget Reform. It is not just enough to balance the budget, but to get us to a place of surplus. We have far too much waste, unnecessary fees, and unfunded mandates all at the same time.Pro-Life - We must do more to prevent and even eliminate abortions in Colorado. Abortion is NOT health care, it is NOT women's rights. Abortion is the taking of an innocent human life for the convenience of another person.2nd Amendment rights - Both current and previous administrations at the Capital have been taking away gun rights, finding new ways to unfairly tax ownership, and have violated the constitution of the United States. It is time to restore our 2nd Amendment rights!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Individual Liberty, Limited Government, Traditional Values, The best education for our kids, Fixing the budget.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Senator Mark Baisley
