I am a social and fiscal conservative. I am an American First Republican who believes in economic nationalism and unchecked immigration is a major problem for the American people. And I am passionate about promoting freedom and opportunity for Idahoans.

I was born very poor in an incredibly violent public housing project in inner-city Chicago. I was determined to improve my lot in life, and joined the U.S. Navy at age 17. I came to my new home in Idaho via the US Navy.

I am running for the Idaho State Senate because I believe my neighbors in District 3 deserve a new generation of innovative conservative leader dedicated to expanding economic opportunities for American citizens who are Idaho residents. I believe my background and my decades of advocacy makes me uniquely qualified to advocate for our freedoms and economic opportunities in the Idaho State Senate.

I like my government small, my taxes low, my borders strong and my speech free.

  • Freedom; pro-life, Defend the Second Amendment, health freedom, school choice
  • Opportunity; reducing taxes & regulations, local resources to support local jobs
  • Bringing a new generation of conservative innovative and creative leadership
And I am passionate about promoting freedom and opportunity for American citizens who are Idahoans in Kootenai County. I will always defend our unique American culture and Western traditions. I am a social and fiscal conservative. I believes in economic nationalism and that for too long free trade, has not been fair trade at the detriment of our middle class and small towns. I understand unchecked immigration is a significant problem for our nation.

I was born very poor in an incredibly violent public housing project in inner-city Chicago. I was determined to improve my lot in life and joined the U.S. Navy at age 17. I served in the U.S. Navy during Operation DESERT STORM and work with the Navy for nearly ten years overseas defending this nation from our foreign enemies. I have worked with the Department of Defense supporting the war against the Taliban, and the war against the Islamic State. I came to my new home in Idaho via the U.S. Navy.

I am running for the Idaho State Senate because I believe my neighbors in District 3 deserve a new generation of innovative conservative leaders dedicated to expanding economic opportunities for American citizens who are Idaho residents. I think my background and my decades of advocacy makes me uniquely qualified to advocate for our freedoms and economic opportunities in the Idaho State Senate.

I like my government small, my taxes low, my borders secure, and my speech free.
Several Christian saints who struggled, but kept their Christian faith. Politically I admire both Senator Rand Paul and Pat Buchanan.
As an engineer, I have worked for 30 years of finding root cause to problems and designing solutions.
Fiscally conservative Mayor Harold Washington being elected in Chicago and then dying of a heart attack. I was 18.
