  • Americans deserve the truth. I'll provide them an objective, honest look.
  • Political money laundering has destroyed politics. I've investigated it, personally. It's why I've decided to run.
  • I've never been a politician, I'm an investigator. I'm accountable to the people of Wisconsin, not private interests or super PACs.
Election integrity & political money laundering

Civil rights & criminal justice reform
Balancing the budget
Ensuring border security
Stopping endless wars
Holding government officials and their partners accountable for crimes

Restore Constitutional restrictions on government
My childhood sports hero was Nolan Ryan. He is an outspoken Christian and I loved his tenacity and fearlessness for the game.

A US Senator, I look up to Rand Paul, who is a Junior Senator from Kentucky. He is a no-nonsense, outspoken Christian man who isn't afraid to ruffle party feathers and isn't afraid to speak truth to power. I voted for his father in 2012.

The person I looked up to the most overall was my dad, Michael Corrigan. He worked on the Canadian National Railroad for 39 years. He is where I developed my work ethic and faith in God to direct out path in life.
The Bible, The Case for Christ
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, integrity, accountability, selflessness & humility.
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude and knowledge, integrity, accountability to the voters & being a savvy investigator
Integrity, decisiveness, accountability, selflessness and humility.
Faith, freedom & liberty for generations to come.
9/11 happened when I was a senior in high school at SPASH. I was in a Technology class and someone who came in late turned on the tv and yelled for everyone to watch.
My first job was at Culver's when I was 14 in Stevens Point, WI. I worked there for 6 months.
The Case for Christ

By
Lee Strobel

This is the book that crushed the doubts I had about the existence of Christ. It changed my life forever. Pastor Brian Berg (Retired) of Woodlands Church provided me with this book, and it changed my life in 2008.
J.J. "Jake" Gittes
Get Up, by Shinedown
My weight.
I've lost over 230 lbs. since Labor Day 2022. I went from 441 pounds on Labor Day 2022 to 210 lbs. by Christmas 2023.
Debt, election integrity, border security, partisanship and the constant use of fear to rob citizens of their common sense and manipulate them.
Term limits are needed 2 terms in the senate & 4 terms in the house.
It can confirm or deny presidential appointments as well as bind treaties with the force of law. They also hold the trial for any impeachment proceedings and have the power to remove presidents from office with a 2/3 majority vote.
No. Politicians have become too complacent and sped too much time out of the public sector. They've forgotten who they work for. They need to do more with less, like the private sector and small business owners do.
It's a valuable tool to make sure that legislation is passed by more than just a simple majority. The filibuster was created to ensure bipartisan legislation would be passed and that any legislation that passed stood the test of debate and arguments by more than just a simple majority. Essentially, it was designed to ensure teamwork and comprimise.
Rand Paul
A robber held up a well-dressed man, pointing his gun and yelling, “Give me all your money!” The man replied, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a U.S. congressman!” The robber retorted, “In that case, give me all my money!”
Based on their professional decisions, public statements, history of fairness in all different types of cases and their personal/ professional integrity on and off the bench.
Professional and uniting as well as investigatory
Yes
Far more with the use of elected officials, not appointed officials. The senate doesn't seem to want to investigate, other than political purposes. The senators need to start investigating what the people want, not whatever the current political hot potato is.
I don't salivate at a party whistle, like Pavlov's dog. If it needs investigating, I'll investigate it.
Trustworthiness, ethics, character, conflicts of interest, professional reputation & accomplishments/ complainants, credentials & work history/ expertise
