I am Richard Goble, running for U.S. Congressman in District 7. I support small businesses and stand for the second amendment. From living in this district as well, I will support and defend each and everyone of you.
  • End the Unnecessary Endless Wars, and Maintain the Best Military and Lower Taxes for All Working People.
  • Improve Our Roads and Transportation Systems, Improve Economic Opportunity and Access to the Capital Markets for All
  • Protect Free Speech, Right to Protect Ourselves, Protect the Health of the Unborn and Women Health.
Without capitalism, our country will lose our great safety nets and the ability to properly protect our people. All people and small businesses should have uninhibited access to the capital markets, which will permit our country, our people, and our standard of living to continue to flourish!

Our roads in Central Florida need improving and need more federal dollars to help with these improvements. A train system should not be stopping auto traffic and should be forcing our county governments to fund these failing transportation programs.

The first Amendment and Second Amendment to our Constitution need to be protected. Without our Second Amendment rights, we greatly risk losing our First Amendment Rights.

Lowering taxes for all working people is always important and should be the thoroughly address in every federal budget bill.

Supporting our great President, Donald J. Trump, is very important while he is keeping his promises and draining the swamp and making our Country Great Again!

Supporting and protecting the health of the unborn and women's health are extremely important.
The person I most look up to is Ronald Reagan because of his social and leadership skills. I would like to follow Ronald Reagan because he made a difference and improved the human condition for hundreds of millions of people.
The first historical event that I remember is watching Neil Armstrong take his first steps on the moon in 1969. At the time I was 8 years old, remembering how hugely monumental this event was to the world .
The first job I had was a paperboy in Enon, Ohio at the age of 12. I had this job for two years delivering newspapers in snow, sleet, and rain. Even when the Ohio roads were closed because of weather, I still delivered the newspaper daily on my bicycle.
There are 435 U.S. House of Representatives each with one vote. It is extremely important that our District 7 in Central Florida vote is clearly reflected of the views of our district. That one vote is not used to further benefit the large donars and oligarchs and instead is used to greatly benefit our local roads, medical care, financial freedom, an d the continued pursuit of happiness.
Our greatest challenge is teaching and using Capitalism to continue to give every U.S. citizen the best opportunity to be able to have the best life, the best liberty, and the continuous pursuit of happiness.

Another challenge is eliminating racism, hate, corruption, corporate non-utility monopolies.

Providing and improving healthcare for all those in need is a never ending challenge that i'm willing to continue to fight for as well.

Securing more federal dollars to improve our Central Florida roads and highways.
