  • Lets make America Affordable again! I want to bring our manufacturing back to the U.S.A. to create more jobs keep our money here. We need to lower interest rates to help make housing and vehicles more affordable. President Trump is doing a great job controlling inflation and I fully support his efforts. I will take time to get our economy straightened out and I believe Trump is making all the right moves, it just takes time for the pieces to come together.
  • I have spent the last 34 years serving Northwest Georgia as a Firefighter Paramedic. It it time to send me to Washington to fight for our communities there! I know what it is like to put a uniform on and serve your community while politicians second guess every decision you make. I've worked along side law enforcement officers that risk their lives daily while leftist call to defund the police.
    • We need to fully fund our police departments and allow them to do their jobs,
    • Mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals that assault our first responders.
    • End cashless bail that puts criminals back on the streets.
    • We are going to PROTECT OUR CHILDREN and end leftist indoctrination. Our schools have become indoctrination centers where leftist teachers' unions push critical race theory, gender ideology, and anti-American propaganda on our kids. When I am elected I will:
    • Ban Critical Race Theory- Our children will not be taught to hate America or each other based on skin color.
    • Stop Gender Identity in Schools- No biological males in girls restrooms or on sports team period!
    • End sexualization of children- Drag queen story telling and gender ideology have no place in schools!
    • Push for higher grade school education standards- No more free rides for teachers that are properly educating our students.
Fiscal Responsibility- Stop the insanity. Washington's reckless spending is bankrupting our children and grandchildren. Career politicians keep raising the debt ceiling and passing massive spending bills while hardworking Americans struggle to pay their bills. President Trump is working hard to right the ship with DOGE and his Tariffs. I will fight to support his efforts to Make America Great Again!
