Expand all | Collapse all

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Americans are sick of the Uniparty. Whether you vote Democrat or Republican, they all agree on one thing - taking away our natural born rights. The job of the government is not to find clever ways to manage us like cattle, it is to protect and secure these rights from all enemies, foreign *and domestic.* I am somebody who cannot be bought, cannot be cajoled, and I will not stop, ever, until our rights are restored.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• End the Fed.
• Taxation is Theft.
• I want gay married couples to protect their marijuana farms with AR-15s.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The government is out of control in every aspect, but to slay the hydra you must attack the heart, not one of the heads. The true means of control is through the money supply. They have a legal counterfeiting machine that can produce infinite fake fiat bucks out of thin air, at the expense of all of us. If the government were forced to use REAL money, they'd have no choice but to cut all the wasteful spending they engage in. That's why ending the Federal Reserve would be my top priority, followed by repealing the 16th amendment as a close second.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Ron Paul, an uncompromising and upstanding individual who I have quite a lot of personal disagreements with, and yet he and I would never seek to use government power to impose our wills upon the other.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Man, Economy, and State by Murray Rothbard

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity. Everybody you've ever voted for (unless it was Ron Paul) has broken their promises in order to enrich themselves at your expense.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Brutal honesty, uncompromising integrity.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To prevent and reverse the disgusting overreach that the government has engaged in for well over 100 years. No law without direct Constitutional authority should ever be passed, and yet this matter is not even discussed by current lawmakers. They think we are Sims in their own little Sim City game, to be ordered around at their whim in order to make something that pleases them, not human beings who created a government in order to secure our rights.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to be known as the guy who ended the tyranny of fake fiat currency.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Absolutely not. If anything, this is detrimental.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The greatest challenge is reining in our own government, which hates us and sees us as cattle.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

We need more term limits. People think Congress is a cushy lifetime job, not a chance to serve the public. They use this to enrich themselves at our expense. How can there be so many multi-millionaires on a salary of $174,000?

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Ron Paul

Tell us your favorite joke.

The US Government. And it's not even a funny one.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

The only time the big parties compromise is when it is to utterly destroy our rights as Americans. From bailouts to the PATRIOT Act to the new "ban TikTok" law, if something has bipartisan support, you can be sure it stinks.

I will never compromise on my values. If this means others won't support my push for freedom, then their constituents ought to punish them for it.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I will vote "nay" on every single one. That money belongs in the pockets of Americans.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

To investigate its own members for violating their oaths of office. Has this happened one single time in living memory? No, and yet we all know they do it constantly.

What committees interest you?

Budget, Homeland Security, Oversight and Accountability, Science Space and Technology, Small Business, Taxation, Ways and Means

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Nothing government does should be hidden from the people it serves. Everything we do should be hidden from the government.
