Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an American to the core. I believe in our Republic, our Sovereignty, and the Constitution of our land. I live by American values and traditions. I am campaigning for United States Senate for the State of Vermont to give the seat back to Vermonters. I want to show that this is not a country for the elite or a one party government. The United States of America will always be a nation of the people for the people and by the people.

I like many have watched our beloved country turning into something unrecognizable. The Washington elite have sold us out to anyone that will line their pockets, while we the people have stood by with no voice. This was not the intent of our forefathers.

Harry S. Truman said, "Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.” This has never been so true. It is time to clean up the crime in Washington D.C.

I am READY, WILLING, and ABLE to take on the job. I look forward to representing Vermonters and fighting everyday for the Green Mountain State on a National level.

May God bless Vermont and may God bless America.

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?

• I BELIEVE IN OUR CONSTITUTION, REPUBLIC, AND SOVEREIGNTY. I WILL FIGHT EVERYDAY FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL VERMONTERS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.
• TERM LIMITS ARE MANDATORY GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
• I WILL FIGHT EVERDAY TO IMPROVE OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM INCLUDING SUSBTANCE ABUSE/REHABILITATION. IN ADDITON; I WILL FIGHT TO ELIMINATE THE TAX ON MILITARY RETIREMENT PAY.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

CHILDRENS RIGHTS

PARENTS RIGHTS
EMPLOYEES RIGHTS
EMPLOYERS RIGHTS
VETERANS RIGHTS
ECONOMY
BORDER CONTROL

HOMELAND SECURITY

What are your thoughts on term limits?

WE NEEDED TERM LIMITS YESTERDAY!

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, AND OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT PROVES IT IN EVERY WAY.

What do you think of the filibuster?

RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT BEING USED THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED.

What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees?

WHOEVER IS MOST CAPABLE FOR THE POSITION.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
