| Collapse all
I spent 6 years in college studying Engineering, Wildlife Biology, and Macro Sociology, with emphasis on Government and foreign Governance structures, the Holocaust, and the false science of Eugenics. I grew up farming wheat, barley, hay, and livestock. I have owned my 40 acre horse farm since 2003. I have been working full-time against UN Agenda 21(-50) programs since 2006 and have won multiple times against them at the local, State, and National levels. I start movements, lead movements, and defeat UN programs that I have lead these efforts against. I win because I know the Constitution, and I use Sun Tzu strategy. I started the Stevens County Property Rights Group and lead it successfully for 5 years and saved both Stevens and Spokane County from one of the biggest UN programs coming down from the State level.
I win because I bring the offense and I don't give up until I win. America needs that character now more than ever! Congress and the DOJ are completely out of control in their lawlessness. I will work VERY hard to bring that lawlessness to an end, and I wrote the book on how to do that in 2022, Called "4-4-4, 'A Republic Ma'am...If you can keep it!'" I get things DONE!- The wide open border has got to be closed, and all the illegal aliens must be sent back to where they came from. In August of 2023, I wrote the Congressional Bill to secure the Border. It was part of a strategically written Bill that would include the BAN of Electronic Voting Machines and Mail-in Ballots, and would ultimately put a STOP to Child Trafficking as well. I pushed that to my international Christian radio show listeners and Congressmen from all over the USA received over 900 copies of my Bill and so did President Trump. Trump wrote back and thanked me for writing that Bill. I also wrote a Congressional Bill to remove the Federal language in USC Title 18 611 (c)3 that allows illegals to vote! I work hard. I GET THINGS DONE!
- Our Economy is tanking and Americans are going broke! Gas prices are the heart of that problem, as everything bought and sold in America is hauled with gas. We need to open Oil Drilling and build our own Oil Refineries ASAP to bring the gas prices WAY BACK DOWN. In "The Perils of Sustainable Development," I documented how the US has 3 untapped oil reserves that have over 750 YEARS worth of oil at our current usage. We need to "Drill baby, Drill" just like Trump says, and I will write whatever Bills he needs to get that done! I will write Bills to fund the building of Oil Refineries ASAP so that we can be not just "Energy Independent," but "Energy Dominant" for once!
- As a UN expert, I know that the UN's form of governance is based upon the Communist Manifesto, with Fascism as their economic model. To have the UN in America, and entrenched in all of our local, State, and National Government, says that we have Communism subverting everything happening in America right now. Did you know the term "The Deep State" is synonymous with Communism as well? I studied Government and foreign governance structures in college, and used that education to fight and win against the UN's Communist programs that seek to "Dethrone God, and destroy Capitalism"-Karl Marx. As a Constitution Buff, I know that ALL Communism in America is ILLEGAL and will fight it from China too!
As a Property Rights President of 5 years that WINS against these UN/globalist programs, I am passionate about private property, water, and livestock ownership rights. I know how to fight and WIN in order to save them.
All of our America Military Colleges teach the war strategies of Sun Tzu that were written in his book, "The Art of War." As a UN expert that fights and WINS against the UN Communist enemy, it is important to read Sun Tzu's book if you want to be able to win against the Communists.
I have studied Sun Tzu's book and put his tactics to work in my fights against the Communist programs that were trying to steal private property, water, and livestock ownership rights. It was because of reading both the Bible and reading Sun Tzu tactics that I was able to win against them. One of Sun Tzu's first tactic is to "Know your enemy." And he's right. you cannot win against any adversary if you know nothing about them. Therefore, me being an expert on the UN is perfect if I want to fight them and win. Who else running for Congress knows the UN well enough to beat them in a battle over anything? None of them! If you want to beat them, you must "Know your enemy," and then you need to know how to engage and take them down with Sun Tzu tactics as well.
The third book I would recommend is my second book "4-4-4, 'A Republic Ma'am...If you can keep it!"' that is also the FIRST book in America to cover a strategy to oust the Communist takeover of the USA.
Our Founding Fathers based all of the laws of the Constitution upon God's laws, or "Mosaic Law."
Every attorney in the world will tell you that all modern law is based upon Mosaic Law. Our Constitution was written to be in accordance with God's laws and to build precept upon precept of our laws based upon God's laws that our nation would be blessed and have the most prosperity. "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty."
And to that end, America has been the shining beacon on the Hill of the entire world since it's foundation. Even the Chinese studied America with the question of "What makes America SO STRONG?" Did you know all their research concluded that it was our faith in Jesus Christ! Even the Chinese know that!
So I believe that as America was founded as a Christian nation, and because current census stats and online polls show that 79-82% of Americans are Christians, that a good leader ought to "Walk his faith" if he believes what he reads in the Bible.
There is no better leader than a leader that adheres to Jesus's example of being a servant leader who follows and upholds the laws of God and the Constitution. In fact, my third book, "Upon His Shoulders" is about that exactly; how to lead in an elected office like Jesus; by being a servant who loves, cares for, and protects the people from harm, while helping to ensure and provide the maximum opportunity for prosperity and freedom!
The premise of swearing an Oath of Office that declares that every elected official will uphold and defend the Constitution, establishes the most important responsibility for every Congressman!
So before I write anything, vote for anything, fund anything, or investigate anything, my FIRST question MUST BE, "Is that Constitutional?" If it is not, I will not only NOT support it, but I will make sure everyone else knows it's unconstitutional as well, and cannot legally support it.
Enough is enough, and this lawlessness in Congress has to STOP. Many things that are being done in Congress right now are highly illegal according to the supreme law of the land! That means that crimes are being committed and crimes must be punished by law! Criminals must got to jail!
Restoring respect for our supreme laws and guaranteeing prosecution for the violation of those laws would be the biggest help to the restoration of our nation and "Making America Great Again."
So beyond the restoration of and the upholding of the laws of the Constitution, Congress has the power of the purse and is in charge of what gets funding in the USA and what does not.
With Congress at an all time low approval rating of just 5-10%, it is clear that their funding of all the WRONG things is at complete odds with the American people.
The current regime has decided that funding everyone BUT the USA is their goal, and allowing America to fall to the lowest depths in this nation's history is perfectly acceptable.

The common modern belief is that a person needs to "work their way up the ladder" in government. Nothing could be further from the truth. The US Government is NOT a Corporation, nor should it be run like one! Corporations lead from the top-down. American Government leads from the bottom-up. The definition of "Government" is a government like our Constitutional Republic government that is bottom-up. "Governance" is top-down ruling like in Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and Dictatorships.
I have a long history of writing State Legislative Bills for the Private Property Rights Groups I was the President of. I wrote a bunch of State Bills then, and also when I worked in Olympia as a Legislative Assistant. I wrote a LOT of Bills as well as House Resolutions there.
Drilling our own MEGA SUPPLY of 750 YEARS worth of our own oil is CRITICAL to everyone in not just District 5, but to every American.
What we REALLY need is to produce and refine our own oil, cut the insane spending, cut TONS of agencies, cut foriegn spending altogether except to our direct allies, and put everybody in government on a choke chain in regard to spending, and have their budgets cut by at least 50% if not a lot more. In quite a few cases, entire agencies just need to be completely disolved.
Agriculture
Homeland Security
Energy and Commerce
Veterans’ Affairs
Oversight and Accountability
Appropriations
Armed Services
Budget
Education and the Workforce
Foreign Affairs
Judiciary
Natural Resources
Rules
Science, Space, and Technology
Small Business
Transportation and Infrastructure
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Americans need to know that when they pay their taxes each year, that the government will not just waste those funds or spend them on unconstitutional or unethical programs!
What about the extravagant expenditures of all the Agencies? What have they done with every cent? I want to know, and I want every American to know also. Our nation is on a runaway spending spree like we have never seen in history. SO much of our money is being wasted on things that should not even exist. For example, on June 26th Congress posted that Anthony Blinken of the US State Department has partnered with the DHS Mayorkas to build offices in foreign nations called "Safe Mobility Offices" to help illegals get to the USA faster and easier! Did you want your tax money to pay for any of that? I didn't either!
Many of these insane expenditures have to be blocked, or better yet, not given in the first place when the recipients can't be trusted to not waste them on illegal projects like that.
So many Americans can no longer pay their taxes with a good conscience when Congress funds illegal and unethical things such as transgender surgeries in the military, and throwing money into a money laundering scheme in foreign nations!
Congress asked for an accounting of what money went where in Ukraine and they received no information about any of it, and nobody held anyone accountable for enormous amounts of our taxpayer's money going into an ambiguous hole and just disappeared!
That is not legal, and the law is not being upheld! That is not ok, and we absolutely must have a full record of accountability for where every cent is going and has been spent. It is, afterall, OUR money that we are sending to them in good faith.

What I Stand For Rene’ Holaday for Congress: Why should you and your family vote for Rene’ Holaday? Because at this critical time in our nation’s history, the USA is in an existential threat and District 5 cannot afford to waste valuable time by sending another RINO, career politician, or weak/ineffective compromiser to D.C.!! Did you see the current lineup of candidates? Almost every one of them is a career politician that is just looking for a pay raise! They could care less about the people, as exemplified in their previous offices, and if any of them get elected....AGAIN...it will be a waste of an elected position in which Eastern WA could have a REAL voice and a TRUE fighter. Don't make the mistake of electing a career politician!! We have no time left for anything but Constitution upholding, die-hard, red-blooded Americans that will stand and fight to the end in order to right this ship! This nation must be restored the law of the Constitution! I am the HAMMER! I am a leader that is fearless in the face of adversity, and I will not allow CRIMINALS to trample our laws and our Constitutional rights! I am a strong 2nd Amendment supporter as well. As a leader, I eat Communists for lunch! I have an 18 year documented track record of being successful in the fight against the Communists in America, and I have written two books that describe that fight. My first book, “The Perils of Sustainable Development” was the first book ever written in America about the United Nations' Sustainable Development Agenda 21, and President Trump was given a copy of my book from WA Senator Brian Dansel. My second book, “4-4-4” was written 10 years later and is a Biblical, Constitutional, peaceful, and strategic solution to our current situation. I have already written the Congressional Bill to Stop Child Trafficking, Ban Electronic Voting Machines and mail-in Ballots, and to help to secure our borders. That is all in one Bill, called the "Stop Child Trafficking Bill," that is commonly referred to as “The Checkmate Bill,” as each topic is connected to each other. I have promoted my Congressional Bill publicly for the past year and people all over the USA have sent in over 900 copies of my Bill by certified mail to their Congressmen. I also sent a copy of my Bill to President Trump and he wrote back, thanking me for doing that, and telling me “Americans had better hurry and get tough.” I agree! As the Christian MAGA Republican LEADER of District 5...
While I am working to fix those top 6 reasons the USA is in an existential threat, I will also be 100% behind Trump and his goals of opening all our American oil reserves and becoming energy independent! Energy independence is both STRENGTH and DOMINANCE on the world stage, and why have it if we won’t use it? America is clearly the strongest nation in the world and I will support Trump in helping him restore the USA to that status. I will write and support any Bill he needs written. Like Trump, I want to Make America Great Again, and I am THE EXPERIENCED LEADER that can do just that! Those are just a few of the reasons District 5 needs to vote for and support me and my campaign for Congress. -God Bless and save the Republic! - Amen! We can do this TOGETHER! [2] |
