The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
My message is about Peace and Prosperity. Your money should stay in your wallet. After six deployments as a United States F-15E fighter pilot and drone commander, I am trying to stop decades of fighting in other countries and start fixing things at home. My priorities are the environment, economy, healthcare, seniors, and national security. Is there anything you would like to add? Our campaign is running on message, not $Millions. Text and share with your friends. Incumbents with a war chest should not always win. Vote Christopher.[2] |
