Committing to preserve our foundational principles and foster a prosperous future for all constituents strengthens hope for tomorrow and beyond. Pray for me as I navigate the path towards representing you with a protective warrior spirit dedicated to safeguarding the conservative ideals that have proven to benefit our families, state, and nation. Please VOTE! 🇺🇸- Protect and Defend
Most would agree that the 1st Amendment to our Constitution is the greatest of our freedoms, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Freedom is a God-given right. It may be codified in a document, written on the walls of building, and shouted by crowds of angry protestors, but it is the greatest gift we have and it comes from the Almighty. No more censorship! - Inflation Hurts Everyone Let's Get Back To The Gold Standard The dollar has lost 99.14% of its purchasing power since 1929 due to the printing and expansion of the currency supply by our central bank (aka Federal Reserve). In just the last 3 years, with the Dems in control, the dollar has lost some 24% in purchasing power while, at the same time, average weekly earnings are down some 4%. "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."
- Secure our Borders & Votes Stop Illegal Immigration Our citizens no longer recognize the country they were raised in. They fear for their personal safety and the future well-being of our children. We must secure the border, deport illegal occupants, and eliminate sanctuary cities. Remember Laken Riley!
The exploitation and trafficking of children are rampant in America, causing unimaginable pain and suffering to innocent lives. This must end! Your children will be my highest priority to protect, defend, and educate - not in diversity and transgenderism but in math and science. We need to expand the benefits of school choice for all families.
'Redeeming Love' by Francine Rivers.
California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. In the end, good overcomes evil. The good guy rescues the damsel in distress..
'The Space Trilogy' by C.S. Lewis
I wasn't made to be tending a grave intended by the evil elite.
I have been called up and I am made for more.
So why would I receive the bed of shame pushed by evil propaganda?
I was born and destined for freedom.
Read in the 8th grade.
Written in 1955 by, then junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. Profiles in Courage serves as a clarion call to every American.
In this book, Kennedy chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes, coming from different junctures in our nation’s history, include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.
They loved this country and it's Constitution. They were committed to States' Rights. The States formed a more perfect union and the States are STILL in control.
