As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I understand the importance of having a government that works for you and values your voice. I am running for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional district because I care about our district. I want to improve our educational system, bring dependable cell phone coverage and high-speed internet to our communities. I want to ensure our veterans receive the help they need, specifically in mental health. I will continue fighting for our right to bear arms and bring an end to our immigration crisis that we face as a nation.
  • I will fight to rid our state of the educational shackles placed on us by the federal Department of Education, and allow our great teachers to get back to teaching reading, grammar, mathematics, civics, science, etc.
  • In a digital, globally-connected world, it is imperative that Kentucky’s infrastructure is upgraded so that every one of our citizens has access to dependable cell phone coverage and high-speed internet, which is critical to improving education, health care, and bringing investment into our state.
  • Veterans mental health has long been overlooked. Having known fellow veterans who have taken their life, we need to ensure veterans receive proper mental health treatment, access to suicide prevention and substance abuse counseling.
Education, Infrastructure, Veterans Affairs, Immigration and the Second Amendment.
I look up to my father and my grandpa. My father set a good example for me to follow growing up, to always be honest, to work hard and most importantly he showed me how to be a good husband and father. My grand father was a hard working man and he showed me that through hard work and determination you can achieve what you want to in life. More importantly both men showed me you can have a passion that includes not only myself but my family.
No
While in the united states marine corps they instilled Honor, Courage and Commitment into me and I would take those principles with me. Honor - To have integrity, responsibility and accountability. Integrity to stand for what's right. A responsibility to the people who elected you and accountability for the actions you take while elected. Courage - To do the right, the right way, for the right reasons. Simply voting no or yes on something should mean something and should involve more than just a personnel crusade. Finally, Commitment - A devotion to those who elected me and remembering what things come first, God, Family and Country.

I love our great nation, I cannot express how much this country or my state has given to me and how much I respect our nation and state. I am passionate, motivated and believe that we are elected to improve the lives of those we are elected to serve. To many politicians today prefer window dressing rather than action. I'm not perfect and I own that but I am willing to put myself out their to better the lives of my fellow Kentuckians. I understand that everyone is not perfect, that we all make mistakes, and I will be the first one to admit that I have made mistakes but it is how you come back from those mistakes that truly make you who you are.
For me the core responsibility for someone elected to this office is to make meaningful changes that improves our daily lives. Additionally, congressmen/women should uphold the constitution no matter how convenient or inconvenient that may be from time to time.
That I was honest, had integrity and stood for what was right. Most importantly I would want to leave office knowing I improved the lives of Kentuckians for the better.
I was a freshman when our nations was attacked, 9/11 is the first major historical event that I can remember clearly.
My very first job would have been working at Hatworld. I worked at this job for a little over 4 months.
The American Miracle by Michael Medved. Book highlights how God's hand truely played a role in the establishment of United States.

Without struggle you are unable to develop as a person, I have failed at many things in life but have managed to pick up the pieces through the grace of God. What is a life worth living if you haven't challenged yourself, if you haven't struggled? Those trials and tribulations are what make you who you are.
Members can bring unique perspectives to the House because instead of being elected from the majority of a state you are elected by a district in your state. Allowing you to bring those voices to the forefront in government.
No, our current political climate for me calls for fresh faces, new ideas and a desire to actually accomplish meaningful legislation.
Partisan politics, simply because if we remain divided we will be unable to get another accomplished or disenfranchise a portion of the population.
Committee on Armed Services

Committee on Education and Labor
Committee on Foreign Affairs
Committee on Homeland Security

Committee on Veterans' Affairs
N/A
Yes because if the people support what is currently going on they current majority should be able to retain power, if the party in power is alienating voters or not achieving their desired objectives the people are able to voice and show their concern.
Our founding fathers originally looked at the house of representatives as a two year post. A political office that the ordinary citizen could get elected to and once their objective was completed to return to their previous job. I don't necessarily feel that one term may be enough but the length we currently see members serving for is to the extreme and needs to be scaled back. It is one of the reasons government does not reflect our society or community.
No
One statement that has rang out to me while talking with members in my community is that our current elected congressman never once visited our troops either in Iraq or Afghanistan even while members of Kentucky's national guard was deployed to either country.
N/A
Our government was founded to me on that very principle. Through compromise you achieve the most desirable outcome. Let us not forget regardless of which political aisle you stand on, you represent both sides of the aisle. It would be good for our elected officials to remember that.
I would like to see a clear cut path for how taxpayer money is sent. If taxes are enacted to raise revenue there should be a clear cut objective to where that money will be spent.
