I was one of the majority of Americans who didn't believe in the rhetoric of politicians today, which led me into uncharted territory during this election cycle. I was originally a Republican, and found common ground with both parties and filed as a Democratic Candidate on July 8th, 2019. I terminated my campaign in September, citing fundamental ideological differences from both parties. I made the decision to refile as an Independent Candidate in the 2020 election cycle with a premise of representing all Americans.
- All people need representation not just one party.
- Together for Texas
- Cutting through the red tape of partisanship.
I'd like to follow the example of George Washington who believed in putting America first above political gain and interest. Looking back hundreds of years later it's easy for any American to realize his Political Ideals were centuries ahead of his time. I would be immensely honored to have people look back on today and say something similar of me.
For me, I fundamentally believe that we're at a place in this country where the status quo is the norm. I haven't been an active voter because I didn't believe in the person I was voting for at that time. I think about that a lot as it relates to connecting with people that may have different ideas, and having the humility to learn something from everyone I interact with daily.
"WE THE PEOPLE..." the first three words of the United States Constitution which means we're representing ALL PEOPLE.
We live in a divisive America today that I don't want my children growing up in. "Unity is Strength", and we have to balance ego with humility to come together as Americans for the greater good of humanity.

I'm a believer that as Americans when we come together for a cause bigger than any one of us we're unbeatable as a nation. Abraham Lincoln modeled his staff on a premise of Principle Symmetry where he had a bipartisan team in order to drive change in a manner that would benefit all people.
We all shared personal stories from our lives, and how we've had to rise after falling down. I learned a lot from listening more than talking and it was human interaction at it's best.
When you think about building communities of hope, and an ecosystem of good and a better tomorrow for all Americans we have to embrace the ideas of our constituency.
I didn't want this interaction to be a media spectacle to give people a platform to speak in a comfortable manner which is exactly what happened.
