U.S. House

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m an America First conservative who served as a senior official in the Trump administration. As Deputy Chief of Staff and Acting Chief of Staff of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, I played a key role in implementing President Trump’s executive orders to drain the DC swamp and eliminate Critical Race Theory from the federal government.

I also served on President Trump’s post-election legal team in Georgia. I directed all of the data analysis that uncovered tens of thousands of illegally cast votes in the November 2020 election. These findings underpinned the President’s only official lawsuit in the state.

Raised in Georgia, I was the starting quarterback at a well-known football powerhouse, Parkview High School. I went on to play college football at Yale University, where I was a three-year starter. After college, I was invited to the NFL Combine and played briefly with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent. I later graduated from Harvard Law School and then led a successful business career at McKinsey & Company before joining the Trump administration.

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?

A lot of candidates say they support President Trump. But I’m the only candidate in this race who served in the Trump administration, worked to implement President Trump’s America First agenda, and personally fought for election integrity as a member of Trump’s post-election legal team in Georgia. I am ready to take my experience working for President Trump to continue the fight for America First in Congress.I am a fighter. Washington has enough go-along-to-get-along politicians. We need fighters who are not just outside the system, but against the system, and who have a proven track record of taking on the liberal machine. I did just that when the radical New York Times tried to cancel me. I did that in the Trump administration when I worked to dismantle Critical Race Theory. And I did that in Georgia as a member of President Trump’s post-election team, taking on Establishment Republicans who refused to fight for fair elections.Cancel culture is destroying our country and our fundamental freedoms. Radical leftists are trying to silence dissent and crush opposing views in the name of “inclusiveness,” and they are promoting racist and sexist policies that divide Americans In the name of “diversity and equity.” Bedrock American values of freedom of speech and equal justice under the law are under attack by big tech, big business, and big social justice organizations and universities. As a member of the Trump administration, I proudly led the implementation of executive orders aimed at combating CRT-based “woke” trainings by federal agencies and contractors. In Congress, I will continue to fight for what is right, no matter how unpopular it may be.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

1. Restore election integrity

2. Defeat cancel culture and protect free speech from Big Tech

3. Eliminate illegal immigration once and for all by building the wall and securing our border

4. Dismantle the Administrative State and reform our corrupt federal law enforcement and surveillance agencies

5. Defend our children from the liberal indoctrination that is flooding our education system

6. Protect our nation from socialist policies that kill jobs, raise taxes, and increase our national debt

7. Protect our Second Amendment rights

8. Defend the unborn

9. End the forever wars in the Middle East, reclaim Congress’s Article I war powers, and focus our resources on combating our greatest geopolitical threat – the Chinese Communist Party

10. Restore law and order

11. Protect religious liberty
