- It’s about unity. “We the people,” means something. It's more than a catchy tagline we've heard since childhood. The first words of our Constitution assume a collective will, that our individual voices each matter to the mutual interests of the country. The highly partisan nature and toxic political environment that exists today has soured so many good Americans away from raising their voices. Civic engagement is now at an all-time low. As a veteran it's embarrassing! This isn’t why we fought and sacrificed. We enlisted to protect the United States, not the Divided States. There are forces both domestic and foreign that are pitting good, hardworking Americans against each other. They are using politics, the press, and social media in a coo

As a member of the military police, I was trained to detect threats to resources and act. Upholding the tenants and dictates outlined in our state and federal constitutions is no different! I’ve saved millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars already, terminating fraud, waste and abuse schemes against taxpayer resources. I’ve protected assets valued at more than our state budget reaching in the trillions dollars.
We are "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Yet, two-party extremism is dividing us. The majority of Americans understand this, however,
