Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A lifelong democrat I promise to bring balance to the arguments taking place at the Capital. I graduated from Cordell High school in 1996 and attended Southwestern Oklahoma state university. I moved to Lawton Oklahoma in 2013 and I am a father to three beautiful children. As a motor hand in the oilfield I learned the value of hard work. I promise to take that same work ethic to the senate floor and make positive connections to turn the state around.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Judicial Reform
• Education
• Healthcare

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Womens rights are under attack in our country and I intend to put a stop to it.

Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
