Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Private Investigator of 30 years, and a former Television & Film Actor and Producer, but more importantly I am a Freedom loving, Family loving, God loving defender of Freedom and Truth. I am also a 100 percent Constitutional Candidate who is ready to go the distance and who is committed to taking on the 'establishment' to bring forth the change that will help save our state and country.
  • I WILL correct the 2020 Election and ensure forever that our votes are counted, as cast.
  • I WILL give the people in-person voting, on Election Day, on Paper Ballots, meaning NO MORE voting machines or mail-in ballots.
  • No More Tyranny, Never Again Deceived.
The area of public policy I am personally passionate about is the FACT that the Oath of Office exists to uphold the integrity of a government OF, BY and FOR the People. The fact that the Oath of Office has been slain in every government office on in our state is a clear indication that there is no benevolent regard for public policy being implemented, maintained or planned for.
The quality the Secretary of State office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system is that serves as the Chief Elections Officer, which means its single most important role is to protect the vote of every single individual citizen in the state.
What characteristics or principles most important for an elected official? Simple. The most important characteristic of an elected official is to be a noble, honorable and courageous individual who also possesses the most important principle of an elected official: the conviction to honor the Oath of Office and be the voice of the people and uphold the California and U.S. Constitution.
The qualities I possess that I know will make me a successful office holder are Integrity, Commitment, Honor, and Courage.
The core responsibilities for someone elected to the Secretary of State office is to HONOR THE OATH OF OFFICE and protect the people's right to have their votes counted AS CAST.
The legacy I would like to leave is being known as someone who gave the people what they deserved because they trusted and believed in me, and to be remembered as a man who stood up for and defended Truth, Freedom and my fellow man and contributed to the change that saved our future from 'global' tyranny.
The first historical event I remember that happened in my lifetime was in 1981, the day President Reagan was shot. I was 13 years of age at the time, and I remember wondering why a good man who smiled so often would be intentionally harmed in that way.
My favorite book is Way of The Peaceful Warrior because Socrates is a character my spirit has always wanted to be like.
If I could be any fictional character, I would want to be Superman.
The last song that got stuck in my head was the A-Team theme song, and now it is again.
Something that has been a struggle in my life is witnessing the suffering that is caused by corrupt governments across the Earth and not having and immediate way to stop it.
The most important responsibility of the Secretary of State is to protect the voice of the people, which is their vote. That's why I chose to run for Secretary of State. When the people's votes are protected, their votes count, as cast. I know no one is protecting that right for the people anymore, so I will.
NO, I do not believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics. In fact, it's more of an advantage and benefit not to.
