I am a Christian, husband, father, and pastor - in that order. I am beyond tired of the absurd insanity on the left, and the feckless stupidity on the right. For this reason, and because of God's leading, I am also running for the New York State Assembly this year. I am a simple guy and an average everyday New Yorker. This is what we need in government today. I vow to always stand up for average everyday people, and against the globalists and corporatists that are destroying our state and country. I will always put America, New York, and Your first!
- TEN YEARS - No one should get more than ten years in Albany in any political capacity whatsoever. No more career politicians and well connected elite.
- TWO GENDERS - The fact we even have to say this highlights how far we have fallen. There are two genders. Period. Men can choose to act like women if they want, but under no circumstance, can they use their bathrooms or play their sports.
- ONE SAVIOR and NO MANDATES - Jesus is the Savior. You can choose to not believe that, but you cannot deny that government is not the Savior. God is our ultimate help. Also there can never again be unconstitutional mandates ever again.
I am passionate about life - all lives matter and deserve protection. I am passionate about the family. We must always seek to strengthen the family unit. I am passionate that individuals make their own health choices and that covid mandates never return again. I am passionately against globalism and corporatism.
I respect and admire anyone who works hard and boldly proclaims truth. On a personal level, I have always said I would like to be more like my dad. Not only does he love God and his family, but he is one of the hardest working and most steadfast people I know. People like him made this nation great. Only people like him will make it great again.
To remember that our rights come from God not government, and that the job of elected officials is to preserve and defend those rights.
A legacy of passionately standing up and fighting for common sense truth, even in the face of powerful people and special interests who reject it.
The Bible. It is God's Word to us. Besides that, "Lord of the Rings" and "The Screwtape Letters"
George Bailey from "It's a Wonderful Life."
"We don't talk about Bruno"
Absolutely not. What is beneficial is that state legislators have real life experience, care about people, and know basic math.
Why did King Kong climb the building so fast?
He had a plane to catch

There should be no emergency powers. One person does not have the right to determine what every other person does.
Some level of compromise may be necessary at times, but never compromise of core convictions or absolute truth.
