  • Rebuild Our Economy; Only a year or so ago, our economy was booming. Now, just about everything is falling apart. We must reduce regulations and tax burdens so that families, consumers and the business community can grow and thrive once again. We have to rebuild our economy immediately.
  • Reclaim Our Individual Rights and Liberties; No crisis, no matter how severe, should separate us from our God-given rights and liberties. While we should certainly look out for the interests of those around us, we also must protect our individual rights and liberties.
  • Rebuild Our Families and Communities; There was a time in America when families and communities worked together to solve problems. We can do that again if we allow families and communities to have more power and opportunities to do so.
Economic Affairs, the government is repeating the 2008 crisis and we need to act quickly to prevent the next recession.

Foreign Affairs and National Security, my knowledge and insight are going to help America Win the next war and save the military.

Crime, we need to fund the police and restore respect to first responders and destroy drug & human trafficking.
Barry Goldwater and Ronald Regan; Could you imagine if they were around today?
On Liberty and Thomas Paine. I read for work and to relax, my mentors give me books that I read and then we discuss. I have a Christian prayer group on Mondays, and an Economic group on Wednesdays if you wish to join in.
Honor and Integrity. Honor and respect the Hoosiers you represent and have the intestinal fortitude to know when you are wrong, but above all else - trust in God.
I am a statesman, a skilled, experienced, and respected leader of action. I serve the people and all Hoosiers of Indiana first.
Serve and represent the people; Defend the U.S. Constitution, our County, and be unafraid to stand on principles.
I will leave a better world for our families. I will not leave my country less but greater!
Space Shuttle Challenger 1986, it was right after my mother's death from breast cancer.
I have had a job my whole life. As a kid at 5 yrs old I worked for my Dad at his computer business. Then around 9 yrs old, I cleaned tables and dishes at a local bar. Over the years I have worked on a farm, had an apprenticeship in carpentry, blacksmithing, I would build & sell muzzleloaders, bartenders, servers, manager role, consulting, and always helped provide for my family.
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham; the book was a gift from my father that is relevant today as it was in 1949.
I have lost Soldiers in the battle against direct threats to the homeland, but in this struggle, I have found the blessing of their gift to preserve our nation and help our children to have an American future.
Veterans in office at the U.S. House continue to serve and protect our intrinsic and extrinsic rights.
It helps, but career politicians and serial campaigners are only interested in power.
China and Russia have aligned to ruin the United States and we will be at war in the next decade. I know exactly how to stop them. Our greatest challenges will be Rebuilding our Economy, Reclaiming Our Individual Rights and Liberties, Rebuild Our Families and Communities, and Rebuild Our Education System. Ask me How.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence;

Budget;

Armed Services;

Congressional-Executive Commission on China;
Yes. The people should be able to remove their leaders if they can not lead.
The politicians will never allow term limits unless we address Bipartisan Campaign Reform and continue to remove representatives that have been in office since 1987.
I respect proven and tested leaders like MG Umbarge and BG Lyles; I would model myself after my Grandfather Donald L. Heiwig and Richard “Dick” Brackemyre. Both were true servants of the people.
It was an emotional story that you would have to ask me about. I didn't wait but instead took action to help them and their family. I don't have to be elected congressman to do good. We only need to be good humans and do one good thing each day.
Dad Jokes my daughters think I am great at Dad Jokes. The kids prefer Disney Dad Jokes:

Q: Why shouldn’t you give Elsa a balloon?

A. Because she’ll let it go!
Compromise and Policymaking; this can be a zero-sum game, but I will be a Sensible Gentlemen with Etiquette and Empathetical Understanding.
The Government has misused Social Security and will not remove the cap. The Government has very little self-control when it comes to fiduciary responsibility. I would correct this.
