I believe the House is meant to represent the people, and should have representatives who know the struggle of average Americans. Multi-millionaires, CEO's, and Corporate lobbyists have no idea what we face on a daily basis. Yet they have spent so much time, effort, and money to convince us they're the only ones who can fix things.
They always have the answer to everything, until we start asking questions.
I know what it means to struggle my way out of the dirt over and over again, just to claw my way to the lower middle. I know what it means to work 2 jobs and 90 hour work weeks just to break even. I know what it means to choose between healthcare or food. I know that just because I suffered, doesn't mean that others should too.
I believe that true leadership is not determined by how far ahead the ones at the front are, but by how few are left behind. I am not here to get your vote, I am here to earn it. And I am honored to have the opportunity.- I believe in terms limits, and mandatory retirement at 65, for all offices including the judicial branch. Mitch Mcconnell was 22 years old when segregation ended. The average age of Congress members is 58. These people are genuinely from a different time period. Their perspectives on adulthood were shaped by experiences that came far before modern issues arose. Many of them benefited from opportunities before the ladder was pulled up behind them. I was born in 1993, I remember the economy collapsing before I could graduate in 2011. The situations that modern Americans have struggled with are unique to our time, and it requires people born in this time period to fix the issues we all face.
- Banning Lobbying and overturning Citizens United. The amount of money in politics is sickening. We are finding out in real time that 8 people can buy our government with their pocket change. The reason they can do this is because of PAC's. A PAC is a loophole designed to allow donations larger than the maximum amount. Each person can donate roughly 10k to a candidate max. A PAC is essentially a bag. A person donates to the bag, then the bag donates to the candidate. This also makes tracking donations difficult, because it is not John Smith who donated, but the bag. We must get money out of politics if we are to return to a time of candidates running for service and not campaigning for power.
- Banning companies and corporations from buying and renting single family homes. I used to be a mortgage loan originator in 2019-2021. I saw the market pricing skyrocket as interest rates dropped. And when interest rates increased, homes continued to stay expensive. The reason is a monopoly on real estate. Companies realized people would pay the higher price, so they will no longer accept anything less. The problem is that higher pricing and higher interest leads to many new home buyers being underwater significantly. Most people in my generation have come to peace with never owning a home. We must divest the real estate monopoly until we can serve the people of our country more than it's corporations.
I have never been wealthy or even close to it. And after 14 years of sales and customer service, I know how much this issue effects ALL of us. Roughly 98% of conversations I've had with customers has been "I'm on a fixed income" or "I need a lower price."
I am not proud to see 80-90 year old people working because their social security can't pay bills. I see a system that took a lifetime of taxes and is trying to take even more.
Growing up I saw them as perfect examples of honesty, integrity, kindness, empathy, and acceptance. They were the very definition of a good person. And above all they knew when to stand up for what is right, and when to protect the people they cared about.
As I got older, I realized just how fictional these characters were. I made a decision to do my best to bring even a shred of their character to reality.
My hero today is myself 5-10 years from now. I want to make him as proud of who I am today, as the pride myself 5 years ago would have had for me.
I grew up in the tail end of basic human decency in politics. People shaking hands, thanking them for coming, and standing up for their opponents when slandered by their own party.
A representative should unite our community through service, not divide it through hatred and personal attacks.
A government should be ran by people who truly want to serve their community, not by those seeking power or wealth.
I had no intention of running for office this year. I don't want or even care for power, money, glory, or position. I am just an average person who kept yelling at my TV for somebody to do something. And one day I realized that nothing would stop me from doing it myself. I heard the cries of my fellow Americans suffering, and I will be damned if I don't answer their call.
I am a single white man with no children, I can afford to be a target if it means I can take the target away from others.
I want to help people, full stop. Growing up that was the only goal I ever had for a future career. I never expected that goal to be a career in politics. We don't get to choose our calling, we can only choose to answer it or not.
I intend to protect my people with everything I have against the cold and unflinching harshness of politics. Even if I am the only one standing, I will continue to stand up for them. All of them, not just the ones convenient for me.
Even if I don't win the primary, I will support the candidate who does. I will run again and again until I know people are safe. I will recruit as many other candidates as possible and support them as much as I can. If I can help even one person answer their calling, then I will have succeeded.
I can't fly at super speeds or stop a bullet, but if I can help even one person by writing a few words then I will be proud.
I have ADHD, and despite what you may think, I am not hyperactive. My brain is. A funny quote I heard is "ADHD is like having an F1 car for a brain and really bad brakes." My brain doesn't shut off, I am always thinking of ideas, questions, and answers. If I meditate really hard I can get about 1 second of silence. It may sound rough, but for me it's a superpower I have learned to live with.
I also grew up with a sever social phobia. I would throw up every day before school out of fear to make eye contact or see someone in the hallway. I would wait until 1am to use the dorm bathrooms so I knew nobody would be awake. I spent years having anxiety attacks on my.lunch break before walking back into work and talking to 200 more people.
I know what it means to face fear on a minute by minute basis and come out standing on the other side. I used to fantasize about giving speeches to even 5 people. And today I have already given speeches to hundreds.
This guarantees that each Representative is held accountable to the will of the people. They don't speak pretty words for a year before doing whatever the want for the next 5.
But there is no time left if we want to save Democracy. The lack of experience is actually my greatest strength.
I have not, and cannot be, bought or paid for. I have no record of policies they can attack me for. I have no history of lying to constituents or taking donations from shady sources. I am a political ghost where the only thing they can attack me for is believing in honesty, unity, and integrity.
I'll be blunt, there is one person, and one movement, that has made bullying and personal attacks the new normal. I don't even have to say their name and you know who it is.
The people in power want us focused on the 5 issues we will never agree on, so we will not focus on the 500 that effect us all. They want us to be divided, fearful, and hateful of our neighbors, so we never see it is them who is truly taking from us.
Corporate monopolies in the mainstream media are possibly the largest driving factor of this change. There may be 20 different networks, all owned by the same people.
As a former sales trainer, I love the "art of word smithing." Or basically, the art of intentionally using specific words to create a message that changes the meaning of the entire thing.
When you watch news or read articles, pay close attention to the "buzz words" they use. These are emotionally charged words that are repeated, without clarification, to create a desired response. Once you start to notice them, you won't be able to stop seeing them.
We are seeing first hand just how much devastation can be caused in a 2 year time frame. We haven't even reached the 1 year mark and the 5 alarm fires have been ringing for months.
Giving elected officials a lifetime term, or extended term, guarantees they will do anything and everything they want.
Just because they cannot be held accountable until the end of their term. And by then they will have thrown so much at the wall nobody will know where to start.
Our representatives have gotten so used to 20-30 year careers of $173k a year (not including benefits). They are genuinely out of touch with modern Americans.
With how much work, and how little money I made in the past, I know the difficulty we all face. I could barely break even as a single man with no children. I shudder to know my coworkers with families took home the same amount.
My past is very similar to Lincoln. He grew up poor and became self educated through hard work and a desire to help people.
I did not grow up wealthy. My first job was at 12 years, cleaning stables at a horse farm for free rides. My first paid job was at 14 making $4.25 an hour at an ice cream parlor. Around that time my Dad had his first heart attack and got fired. My family went into bankruptcy shortly after. I spent high school saving money and going to wrestling tournaments. At 18 I had to drop out of college due to debt, and a crippling social phobia.
I began a career in sales to force myself to overcome my fears. I struggled with commission only jobs. Minimum wage jobs, even having 2 jobs. Years later I taught myself enough to become federally and state licensed as a mortgage loan originator. After that I taught myself how to trade investments and became self employed. After the market crashed, I taught myself insurance and became a licensed advisor. And after paying off all of my debt, I saved enough for a down payment on a home. I am now using that money to run for office. My country is more important than my comfort.
There was an 80+ year old woman in a wheelchair struggling to make her way to the podium. She only had 60 seconds to speak. Her voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears. She told them how afraid she was to lose her only form of transportation. How it would mean that she would lose her doctor of 30 years and her health care. She asked them "please don't do this" before time ran out and she was escorted away.
After I got home I received a message saying the Council members had already voted before we even got there.
For 3 hours these representatives listened to stories from their constituents, making them believe their voice would matter. Looking then in the eye, knowing they had already made the decision.
If we are talking about tax breaks or bail outs for the wealthy, just to cut only a few people off of healthcare, then no.
There is a reason the US does not negotiate in hostage situations. It reminds me of a saying "meet me in the middle says the unjust man. So you step forward, he steps back. Meet me in the middle says the unjust man."
There is no meeting in the middle when it comes to human rights, racism, bigotry, hatred, or suffering.
They have spent decades proving that the "rules apply to thee but not for me" in every single situation. They will argue a point, create a precedent, then ignore it the second it benefits them. It's why we have a 6-3 supreme court.
If people in power have a very public history of bad faith arguments and lack of integrity, there should be no compromise without change.
This would also be perfect to end corporate tax loopholes and overseas account loopholes. If you do business in America, you pay taxes in America.
It should also not create investigative committees that are spearheaded by blatantly one sided members.
An investigation is to provide proof of wrong doing, not decide guilt before it even starts. Unless the proof of wrong doing is already so public and blatant that charges can be on the table to start.
She wasn't qualified for a policy, and business wise there was nothing I could do for her on my end.
So instead of kicking her off the line to try to make a sale, I spent an hour talking with her and learning her situation. I gave her advice on where to go for cheaper insurance, what to say, what to ask for, etc. I talked to her about her mortgage and if refinancing would help her, or if a reverse mortgage would be possible. I gave her a few credit resources to improve her scores and qualify for any company she was with. And after listening to her, I found a 3rd party company that would save her about $400 a month that she would be qualified for. She was crying she was so happy.
I believe the government should require a mandate for ALL use of AI to be clearly and visibly displayed as AI at all times. And not in a bottom of the page type loophole. A mark showing it is AI in the content itself. In the video if it's a video, in the picture if it's a picture, and the very first thing spoken if it is speech.
- 1 person = 1 vote (eliminate the electoral college).
- Make election day a federal paid holiday for everyone.
- Advance voter registration and correction year round.
- Expanded voting locations.
- Free transport to voting locations.
