Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am twenty-six years old a small business operator and grassroots political advocate here in the first district. I would describe my political stance as a America First Constitutionalism. I am running for office because our politicians, no matter which side, do not actually care about serving the public interest. Right now this country is being placed into a soon to be irreversible financial situation that will end disastrously for the general public if nothing is done to curtail spending. We are spending more on our debt interest payments than the entirety of the Defense budget.

The establishment is not willing to fix this, because it benefits them and their lobbyist allies. Coming from running a small business, I know what it's like to live within my own means. If we spent money like Washington does, we'd be out of business. Congress should be held to the same accountability standards that every other American/Minnesotan is held to.

My view of the federal government is one based on the Constitution. They should be a limited unifying authority, allowing individual states to govern their own people and deal with their own services.

This is why I have joined a grassroots coalition with Anthony Hamilton (CD8) and Mike Foley (CD6) surrounding the CAPT Act. The Congressional Accountability and Public Trust Act aims to mandate a balanced federal budget, restrict lobbying, ban insider trading loopholes, and much more. I hope to have your support!

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?

We are fighting for fiscal responsibility. The Federal Government is addicted to printing and spending money. Our deficit as a nation is now nearly two trillion ($2,000,000,000,000) annually, and our debt is set to reach forty trillion in the near future. This trend is killing your buying power as an American citizen. The more dollars they print and place into circulation, the less your money is worth. Meanwhile that same elite is rearranging their wealth into foreign and digital currencies.

We need representatives who are willing to stop these egregious omnibus bills from being passed altogether, and put an end to corporate and foreign subsidies.This campaign aims to put a definitive end to the age of corporate and foreign lobbying ruling Washington. Removing lobbying from politics is tricky, especially from a first amendment perspective, but we can render the worst aspects of it useless.

- The CAPT Act authored by Anthony Hamilton is a great first step to achieving lobbying restrictions and an end to the revolving door that is career politician to career lobbyist.

- The REINS Act would take away the powers of unelected bureaucrats in our federal agencies to change regulations at the behest of lobbyists.

- Expanding the Foreign Agents Registration Act to include organizations like AIPAC. No foreign nation should be given special privileges to bribe our politicians.America must embrace the future to reclaim our standing on the world stage. While competitors like China modernize at a rapid pace, our own infrastructure is faltering; tens of thousands of American roads and bridges require urgent repair, and our power grid remains decades out of date.

We need a clear national direction for automation and AI; one that fosters aggressive innovation without compromising individual sovereignty or privacy. In this race to the top, we cannot afford to lose sight of our core values. We must prioritize rebuilding our foundations and leading the technological revolution while fiercely protecting the rights of our people. The choice is clear: we either modernize our reality or get left behind by it.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We face a chronic disease epidemic fueled by toxic food and a system granting immunity to Big Pharma and Big Chemical. It is a disgrace that federal law shields companies like Bayer while they flood our land with glyphosate. I am fighting for the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act and the PREP Repeal Act to restore corporate accountability.

Real health starts with the MAHA agenda: restoring soil through regenerative agriculture and passing the PRIME Act to empower local farmers. We must end FDA/EPA regulatory capture, expand HSAs, and mandate price transparency. Finally, we must end drug price disparity; Americans should not pay 10x more than Europeans for the same meds. It is time to put your health over globalist profits.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a working class Minnesotan, and grew up in a small-business family. I've been involved in grassroots politics since 2016 and am a former registered Republican and primary delegate. While both Republicans and Democrats will put foreign nations, private equity firms and non-citizens above the needs of regular Minnesotans, I advocate for Minnesota first policy. That means no more foreign wars, bloated federal budgets, corporate lobbying, or culture war nonsense.

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?

Your individual rights are being threatened. Freedom of speech, self defense, and the privacy of all Americans is increasingly under threat by both government and corporate interests. Republicans across multiple states are legislating rules that will ban your expression both on the street and online, while Democrats plan to deprive you of your ability to self defense. It is not up to state governments to regulate the Constitution or the Bill of Rights so I will fight for absolute protections for them. The government shouldn't be peering into every part of your life, regulating what you say, and stealing your right to self-preservation.Too much political discourse is centered around Middle Eastern policy and it is exposing how absolutely depraved our government is. We have spent decades in the Middle East creating wars, funding terrorist organizations, and most Americans are just sick of it. Our politicians have been boughten by lobbyists whose only loyalties are to foreign nations. It is time to cut our losses and end this years-long miserable policy approach that has wasted your tax dollars and sent Americans to their deaths. It is also time to demand our politicians not hold any allegiance to other nations and put their constituents first.By the time of the 2026 election I no doubt believe that the debt of our country will be over $40 trillion. Neither party has put forth real policy solutions to cut back our trillion dollar deficits. The truth is that the damage is irreparable. Whatever we do now will not change the fact that we have dug this hole, but we can navigate our way out of it. This is by making strategic and hard cuts to the budget both discretionary and non-discretionary. We need to reevaluate our approach to military spending and cut down on the military industrial complex. Cutting military spending and foreign aid will not be successful unless we make serious reforms to government benefit programs.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Healthcare is a serious issue that I am passionate about in this nation. Many people in this country suffer from chronic health conditions that not only hinder our healthcare system but also our workforce. More than just spending money on healthcare I believe real solutions rely on setting national initiatives to find root causes to chronic conditions and combat them. This includes following world wide health standards on regulating certain preservatives and additives in food products, and evaluating environmental conditions of drinking water and air quality. This is alongside pushing for more impactful nutrional and physical education in schools to promote healthy lifestyles.

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

Being honest about your positions, independent of outside allegiances, and following through with what you say even if it's against the odds.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Work tirelessly, represent your constituents and interact with them in open discussion.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I was one year old when the September 11th attacks happened so I do not remember them from firsthand experience. A big event that I remember from early on was the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya during the Obama administration. To me it exposed how openly corrupt government officials like Hillary R. Clinton are in their lies to the American people on our foreign policy.

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

The family business at D&M Industrial Cleaners, and I still do specialized work for the company.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

It is a cornerstone of our republic. In

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Considering the current state of Congress that is full of career politicians, I don't believe so.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Rebuilding our economy for the working class. Raising wages is not a solution to inflation, it is an irritant that causes more inflammation. The only way to reduce the burden on the working class is to stop government spending that devalues your currency.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe in two term candidacies for Congress, the Senate, and Presidency. That keeps people from being in the same position for too long but also allows politicians to be experienced in office by a second term. We should be more worried about the unelected officials in the federal government who often stay longer than our elected politicians.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

I know veterans who have gave alot in their service to this country

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

No, I believe Americans have made too many compromises with their politicians. Its time to fight for what we need.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Sparingly. The U.S. House should not use their powers to harass political opponents, content creators and average Americans. The House should focus on investigating corporate corruption and corruption of current officials.

What role should the United States government have in the development or use of artificial intelligence?

Regulation of criminal activity in the AI- sphere. We must be ready for AI generated content and misinformation that aims to influence judicial and legislative decisions.

What legislation would you enact related to election administration in the United States?

I would advocate for strict voter ID, mandatory voter roll reviews, increasing accessibility to running for office, and term limits for elected officials.
