| Collapse all
I proudly identify as an "America First" candidate, prioritizing the interests and well-being of Georgia and its citizens above all else. My lack of prior political experience isn't a liability but rather a testament to my status as a grassroots advocate for common-sense solutions.
From my beginnings in hands-on production to roles in project management, sales, and estimating, I've gained a deep understanding of the challenges facing working Americans. My career has been defined by practical problem-solving, integrity, and a commitment to getting the job done right—the very qualities I intend to bring to the political realm.
The transition from the straightforward world of construction to the complexities of politics may seem daunting, but it's precisely this contrast that motivates me. I refuse to accept politics as usual; our country deserves representatives who prioritize honesty, transparency, and accountability.
I stand ready to challenge the status quo, to amplify the voices of everyday Americans, and to fight tirelessly for a future where our nation's interests come first.- Steadfastly advocating for transparent and fair elections, I support the return to paper ballots, the removal of drop boxes, highly scrutinized and limited mail-in voting, and a transition towards single-day voting.
- Consistently voting against any legislation that encroaches upon our First and Second Amendment rights.
- Advocate for reduced taxation and constraints on the scope and influence of governmental institutions.
