Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a normal everyday guy who decided recently that running for office was right for me. I decided that I was done waiting for my perfect idea of a candidate to come by so I filed myself. I hope I can inspire others to do the same.

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 want to lower the national debt.
• I want to keep us out of any new wars.
• I also want to make sure that our constitutional rights are never infringed upon.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I personally love constitutional law. I believe that it is one of the greatest documents ever written.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to men like Ron Paul and our founding fathers. They are all some of the smartest men ever to live in my opinion.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

My philosophy is more of a live and let live philosophy.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity, and honesty.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To represent the people that elected them and to not forget where their roots are.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

It is where the people get to use their voice to be heard.

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

No, it tends to only lead to corruption.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Trying to remain relevant on the world stage. Attempting to reunify our country that is so very divided. Also not completely collapsing due to rapid inflation.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

None as of now.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes, lots can change in two years.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I think they should be implemented to an extent. I personally am tired of seeing people make politics their career. I believe in working your main profession and then when called upon go to D.C. to represent the people.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Ron Paul

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Just living in this district and interacting with everyone here has been wonderful.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

To an extent, yes, but there are certain things we should never compromise on.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I would sponsor bills that reduce our spending rather than raise it.
