I am a husband, father, Christian, and Constitutional Conservative. I am a family man and blue-collar worker, not a career politician. I believe we need representatives in the House who truly put the needs of Mississippians first. We need a strong conservative voice for Mississippians in the House, a representative who will keep the promises they made on the campaign trail and not back down once they are elected. I will always fight to put the rights of Mississippians FIRST.
As a former business owner, I am passionate about economics. It is no secret to anyone that our economy is not in a good place. We must start implementing business-friendly policies to repair our economy and combat inflation. As a father, I am deeply troubled in the direction of the state and nation. The steps being made my government now are destroying American independence, and the liberty we once had will not be available to our posterity.
My Savior, Because he is EVERYTHING!

My Dad, because he exemplified compassion.

My father (Not the same) for his intelligence and ability to take a stand.
Faith, and a selfless sense of civic service. and an understanding of exactly what that means. The value and meaning of the constitution, the theory of it, what our founders intended.
Every day I try to be better than I was the day before. I believe in honor, duty, owning your mistakes, and being able to have an idea and commit to it.

We are all human, My father was a best selling writer. I am not disillusioned with my own greatness. I know even the greatest minds though out time have only been human. With the exception of Jesus Christ.

The thing that sets the United
Protecting the citizenry of Mississippi from a government that would seek to deny them the very basic liberty of enjoying the fruits of their labor.
For my children, that I was the best dad possible. That I was honorable to service of nation, and that I stood for them when they couldn't in order to protect them and their children.
Wizard's First Rule. It was a time when I had a quality relationship with my father. I remember walking through the bookstore on its release date and finding he had included Southaven for me. Also, Reading the book and finding that he had a couple jokes that were between us.
I wouldn't. I have overcome adversities from abuse growing up, finding out I was adopted, finding my biological father, to being carjacked. I've worn many hats. and done a lot of things... I haven't been perfect, some of the time I have been outright wrong. I have been given second chances when I didn't deserve them, and I intend to honor those chances. I want to lead an exemplary life for my children and be the father that they deserve. I want to be the husband my wife deserves... I also intend to follow my fathers footsteps and write the book I have inside of me.
Overcoming the mental suppression that comes from mental abuse growing up.
I think it should be on good standing and legislature should serve to keep his powers in check.
Two fold. Our children's education is dead last among the nation. our children are our future. If our children cannot navigate school, if they are indoctrinated into the woke mentality, or coddled through school without ever being told when they were wrong, if they are not taught to think critically about a subject but simply taught what to think about it, how do we expect them to be productive when they step into leadership roles?

The second, our economy, as we face record inflation, record debt, our dollar becomes less and less valuable. Nations do not go bankrupt, they become insolvent. those issues last lifetimes. We have not been good stewards with our blessings. This nation faces very hard times ahead. What we do now to protect our families will set us apart, or pull us under.
LOL, NO! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Yes. you have to band with like minded individuals to help determine the best course for action. No man is an island. and if you surround yourself with like minded people, you can better view and navigate a landscape. Being accountable and held to the truth and conservative standard is critical in that partnership
Steve Hopkins, Dana Criswell and Dan Eubanks are the reason I am here. I support wholeheartedly support their conservatism. Matt Getz, Ted Cruz, the list goes on and on. all of them have a national interest, constitutional pride, a strong foundational value system. They do/did not serve out of selfish desire, but a call to duity.
"insert any dad joke here*
No. I think compromise is the reason we are where we are today. We are drifting further and further away from our founders.

Our nation was established with 3 separate but equal branches as a way to hinder government growth. Compromise only serves to exacerbate the issues we are in. New spending, New government programs that mean new government powers...

Compromise has taken us farther down the road to socialism through progressivism as it was intended.
