Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a father, a husband, and a patriotic American willing to fight for our Republic Restoration.

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?

• To fight for our rights of free choice what we allow in our own bodies and our children's medical choices.
• Fighting for the rights of our children to remain children - Woke will go Broke in Oklahoma!!!
• Protecting and correcting election integrity so our children will be safer and stronger.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We must protect our future way of life as a Republic and to make learning and growing safe again for our children and their children. American Made products and creating jobs right here in Oklahoma to ensure the states self-sufficiency from foreign trade shortages and unfair competition by means of labor violations and currency manipulations.

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

To heal from the "Summer of Love" promoted by the radical left and DNC that stirred up a lot of division and hatred then to recover our economy from the hyper-inflation that we are currently witnessing.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

That this government should have utilized the law of precedent regarding the 22nd Amendment as once passed prior for the President that ALL tax paper based elected official be held to the same 22nd Amendment.

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

It has an ability to be a checks and balance for the other branches along with helping to ensure that wrong candidates for special appointments are not wrongly placed in lifelong positions of power.

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

No, our founding fathers created a republic that was designed to be governed by "we the people" who are mere common folk.

What do you think of the filibuster?

Limiting the filibuster is a bad idea and will lead to more censorship of the First Amendment - a limit to the Filibuster is in essence shutting the mouth of the people from the top.

What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees?

1) They must support American values and reject ALL communist or Marxists agendas

2) Have they been actively involved as an activist for any special interest groups

3) What are their track records regarding integrity and character regarding previous decisions

If you are not a current senator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

I would seek to be part of the following committees: Law Enforcement, Military, Education, First Responders, and 2nd Amendment committees

What kind of relationships would you build with other senators?

I believe that we are stronger together and when we are united, we stand as one nation under God. We would try to develop a neutral positive working relationship built with integrity and trust based upon what our constituents desire.

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

No! Integrity does not Compromise!
