  • Excessive government spending is out of control.
  • Making sure decisions are made to benefit the people and not one of the 2 parties in charge.
  • Support of the Constitution
I’m a very reluctant politician and the thought of networking, asking for donations, and of course asking for votes is far outside my comfort zone. The reason I've decided to devote my time and money into this adventure is because I truly believe the 2 party system is the greatest detriment to the progression of the United States. It has become all too easy to just go down the ballot and mark whichever candidate has an R or a D next to their name. Government as a whole would be much more effective if our officials were elected based on merit, and not party affiliation.
