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?

In my lifetime alone American’s average annual income has increased 288% while our average taxes have increased a staggering 424%. What do we have to show for a tax increase nearly double that of our income increase? A safer border? Better test scores? Lower national debt? None of the above.

In the last seven years alone border apprehensions have risen 692%, SAT scores have dropped 3% and our national debt has increased 67%. What is the government doing with our money if everything gets worse with each new dollar they take?

I have four children whom my wife and I raise to be smart with their money. We wouldn’t allow our children to spend their money recklessly so why do we allow the government to be reckless with ours?In the military, our training says that when a wound is bleeding out, the first step is to stop the flow. Our southern border is bleeding out, and we must stop the flow of illegal immigrants first and foremost.

The Biden administration has made it clear that we cannot rely on the federal government to protect our border communities. We must act now to secure our border and protect our people.After traveling the world with the Air Force for the past 20 years, I am happy to call Arizona home. Our district is blessed to include Yuma Proving Ground, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and to border Luke Air Force Base. We have a great community of currently-serving military members and veterans who have made this area their home.

I have spent most of my life serving with some of the finest people this country has to offer. I am determined to continue serving our state and country, now as a member of the Arizona House of Representatives.

As a military retiree, I have firsthand knowledge of the unique needs that our military members and veterans face and am well positioned to support them and their families. I will push for greater sup

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about states’ rights, immigration, medical freedom and the Bill of Rights. As a military veteran, I fought for 20 years to protect our inalienable rights. Although I’m now retired from the military, I’m not done fighting to protect our rights. I’m just moving the fight to the legislator.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity is the most important characteristic for any elected official. In the Air Force we have three core values with integrity being number one. I raise my four children to be men and women of integrity and I expect the same of my elected leaders and myself.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

The ability to troubleshoot a problem to the root cause and implement a more permanent correction rather than just a bandaid solution. As and aircraft mechanic in the Air Force, we were trained to not just find surface level answers, but to dig down to understand the core of the problem so that we could apply an appropriate solution that would last.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

The border and water sources.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Congressman Matt Gaetz

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Any money the government has rightfully belongs to its citizens. As such, all expenditures should be transparent to the tax payers.
