I have been interested/aware of politics as early as 8 years old and as late as 2012 and have become actively involved in local/state politics in 2019. I served as as Youth Chair of the Hart County GOP for 5 months before previously serving as the youngest elected chairman (of either political party in Kentucky) of the Hart County Republican Party elected at 21 years old and one of the few African American Republican chairs.
I’m just an average person ready to see government to sow transparent, conservative, and constitutional intent government for the people to reap the benefits of less government and a more free society that is as moral and ethical as possible.- I am not a career politician, and do not want to be. We do not need more politicians, we need more public servants and statesmen and women.
- I am a firm believer that need to return Frankfort back to the the constitution and true conservative values that truly represents the constituents of District 24- Hart, LaRue, and Green Counties) and the state as a whole.
- I believe that the way we reclaim our government is not from the top down, but from the way our country was founded upon which is ‘We The People’ from the bottom up.
