My Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I believe following the only perfect man to ever walk the earth is the perfect example of how to treat others.
To represent the residents of House District 77 and not campaign managers and lobbyists.
Faithful, hard working, honest, community focused. A legacy that my family would be proud of the Thompson name.
Working at my grandfathers trucking business until completion of high school.
The Art of the Deal, by President Donald Trump. As a businessman and someone who has been bringing people together for a common goal over the last 30 years, it is important to know how to move people and negotiate in business.
Learning to accept the things that I cannot change.
A working relationship. The Legislature is the entity with creating laws with the input and support of the Governor and his vision.
I do believe it is beneficial. While it's wonderful to have people who have never been engaged, become engaged in politics, it is critical to have representatives who have experience.
Absolutely. Relationships are critical in being able to pass legislation and spawn ideas on how to engage and improve the current model.
Constitution Carry 2nd Amendment which will also include the repeal of Red Flag Laws.
I was planning the 2023 Lincoln Reagan Dinner while Chairman of the Lee County (FL) REC with President Trump as my keynote speaker, I had a gentleman contact me stating that his father had given him a copy of The Art of the Deal that President Trump authored when he was a child, and that he still had that book and what a profound impact it had on him and his life. He had asked me if I could get the President to autograph the book for him. It was very touching for me to be apart of that.
Hosting the 2023 Lincoln Reagan Dinner for the Lee County (FL) REC hosting President Donald Trump and 900+ others for dinner!
I will sponsor legislation to end vote by mail except for Servicemembers and those voters who have verifiable medical conditions.
