He is a combat veteran and US Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, a healthcare administrator, educator, coach, father, husband, and son who loves this country dearly.
A political outsider, Jason declared his candidacy as an independent as a loud reminder that the choice between two extreme political parties is a false choice. He intends to provide a common-sense, centrist alternative to two parties that have pandered to their most extreme factions, special interests, and placed their allegiance to Party over Nation. Duopoly Parties have tried to convince us that we should hate our neighbors if they think differently that we do. Paraphrasing a former president, Jason believes that party and political labels are wholly inadequate to describe our complexity as individuals or as a nation, or the challenges we face.
Jason believes that most Americans live somewhere in the middle and are tired of life-long politicians who divide us, accomplish little, and forget that they have been elected to serve the People.
Jason's focus is on unity, affordability, advocating for a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United, term limits, and respect for sacred Constitutional rights.- We Need Governmental Reform. Our elected politicians have demonstrated a clear allegiance to Party over Nation. They have become increasingly extreme, divisive, and no longer represent the vast majority of Americans who feel left without a voice. We need term limits, campaign expenditure limits, and a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Return the power to where it rightfully belongs - to The People. How do we have a government by, for, and of the People when it takes $5M or more to run for office? A system like this only ensures that access to our lawmakers will continue to be the privilege of the wealthy and powerful, not the People.
- The American Dream is on Life Support. Upward mobility feels like a relic of the past. Affordability is non-existent. We need tax reform and economic policies that enable all Americans to prosper and to achieve more than the generation that preceded them.
- Constitutional rights are inalienable. Subverting the constitution is a de facto assault on the very fabric of our nation. Ends do not justify the means in the United States of America.
- Tax reform and economic policies that promote responsible spending and the upward mobility of hard-working Americans--not just the wealthy and powerful.- Sensible, practical immigration reform. I am a proponent of establishing practical immigration policy, border security, and enforcing those laws. Trampling the Constitution, warrantless home invasions, murdering Americans, and unlawfully detaining anyone in inhumane conditions is absolutely unacceptable.
- National Security. NATO is critical. Winning the technology race with China is crucial. Walk softly, and be always prepared to overwhelm any enemy of our nation.
