My story starts with escaping a dictatorship and ends with finding a home in West Virginia. Everything in between is why I fight. I am a father, husband, public education supporter, and democracy advocate. I immigrated to the US when I was eight and a half. Now I have a ten-year-old daughter and I'm running because I want this country to remain a vibrant democracy for her. I know what it's like when people are good and their government isn't, when government is the greatest source of injustice in people's lives, and when want a voice don't. I'm running to change the system that's enabling this to happen.
  • We can have a more affordable future. By overturning the cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill, turning back tariffs on groceries, eliminating the current benefit cliffs that diminish people's motivation to get ahead, reducing corporate waste and handouts, and funding key priorities around education, housing, food, and healthcare, we can have that.
  • We can have a more caring future. By investing in infrastructure around clean drinking water and investing in the individuals in care jobs whether they're nurses and teachers or law enforcement, we can make West Virginia an even better place to live.
  • We can have a more empowered future. We can take the power back from big tech and their AI imagined future and create systems and relationships where government and elected officials are more responsive to the needs and views of their constituents.
Affordability and how to make life more affordable for regular people. I grew up poor and want to create public systems that better serve low income people. Care and how that relates to public education and educators, nurses, and public safety in ways that affirm our children and people's basic dignity. Democracy and all things democracy because I fled authoritarianism and will be damned if I have not done all I can to make this country's democracy an inspiration for others in the world.
