Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I served in the United States Air Force and Air National Guard for over thirty years. As an F-16 fighter pilot, I flew combat missions during the Gulf War and Operation Northern Watch. I was an instructor pilot, and subsequently commander, of the 162nd Fighter Wing based in Tucson. In 2013, Governor Brewer appointed me to be the Adjutant General of the Arizona National Guard, where I served for eight years. In 2021, I retired at the rank of Major General after 34 years of service.

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?

• Advance American Exceptionalism
• Uphold the Constitution
• Secure the border

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m concerned about the direction of our country. Democrats have abandoned their Constitutional duties in favor of radical leftist policies, and many Republicans have forgotten how to fight for our Constitution and conservative principles. We need leaders in Washington who are willing to stand up for our rights, even when it’s not politically convenient. I will not abandon our values in the face of unprecedented government overreach. No other candidate in this race has a record that reflects the experience and leadership necessary to confront our current crises. Running for Senate is not about another title for me; when I entered the Air Force, I took an oath to support and defend our Constitution, and I would continue that service to our nation and Constitution as a US Senator.

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. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
