Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I started out a farm boy. When my folks retired I went on to college and built a career. I have 15 years in business management as a turn around specialists. I extended this knowledge speaking at business conferences and Universities around the world. After working for some of the largest corporations in the world, fixing problems, I want to take that skill to the US government, the largest broken organization in the world. I am focused on dissolving the intrusive government, getting rid of government corruption, and bringing back fiscal responsibility that will actually serve the constituents in my district.

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?

• The government restrict citizens year after year, forgetting they serve us. Not the other way around. It’s time to reverse course.
• Lifetime politicians were not the intention of the founders. We were supposed to serve for a while and return home. Not stay forever and enrich ourselves with shady deals and back room information. Stricter rules and term limits are needed immediately.
• If we continue on our current path, our country will be facing austerity measures that will leave us in worse shape than we were during the Great Depression. It’s time to cap spending and pay down debt. Now, not over the next 10-20 years.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about restoration of rights, particularly the bill of rights. The NFA violates the second amendment. Immunity for Social media violates our 1st amendment. Various laws violate every one of the first 10 amendments and they need to be repealed.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Charlie Kirk is a great man who has brought his faith into the political sphere and fought back against the degradation of the nations soul.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Declaration of Independence. The Constitution. The Federalist Papers. Amar’s America’s Constitution. wood’s The Creation of the American Republic. The holy Bible. The silence Dogood letters. Capitalism and Freedom. Social Justice Fallacies.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

We must lead with honesty, integrity and principles.

Politicians should be servant dedicated to equal application of the law to all constituents, not just the donors and lobbyists. I will never vote for anything that harms any of my constituents or that benefits corporations or the government at the expense of my constituents.

Too long politicians have failed to meet the title of public servants. If you can’t tell your constituents what you’re doing, then you don’t belong in office.

No one has a right to the money that someone else earned. This includes the government. The robbery of our citizens to fund foreign governments and corporation must end.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I’m intensive about gathering facts and I’m principled and decisive when implementing solutions.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Reject any legislation that does not benefit all your constituents. Reject any law that restrict your constituents freedom and rights. Reject any legislation that spends your constituents money that does not give them a direct return on their investment.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A country with more freedoms and a secure financial future.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The eruption of Mount Saint Helens happened when I was 2 but I clearly remember the ground covered in ash when it erupted.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I started out on my own farm. By 10 I was running crews helping other farms as well. I did that until I started attending college classes at 15.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Master and Margarita. The Russian classic by Bulgakov exposes the hypocrisy of leftism and the hypocrisy of aristocracy.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

V

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

God Bless the USA

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Having a career as a single dad has been a challenge.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The smallest communities get a good if their representative does their job.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. None of our founders were politicians. It should not be a career but service you provide after your career.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The number one existential crises facing America is our national debt. We now spend $3 billion per day just on interest. This is not sustainable and one large financial crises will end the republic.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes

What are your thoughts on term limits?

No more than 10 years in the house, 12 years in the senate and bureaucrats may serve no more that 12 years.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Rand Paul

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

People in my district continue to tell me how much they have struggled since the pandemic. Not a problem for the incumbent who has grown their next with 1000% to over $10 million in that same time.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Reagans joke about the kittens being sold in front of the democrat and the republican conventions. At the democrat convention a boy sold the kittens as democrat kittens. A few weeks later he was selling the same kittens as Republican kittens. When asked by a reporter why they were now Republican, he replied because their eyes are open now.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I believe compromise is the antithesis of what our congress was meant to be. Conservatives have been compromising for 100 years, the left never compromises, so they have pushed our government farther left decade after decade until it’s now a big bloated bureaucracy that was never intended.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Spending should never exceed 90% of the previous years collected revenue. All left over revenue should pay down debt.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Removing bureaucrats that abuse their power and waste the citizens money.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Business Owner and Entrepreneur Zia Kauser

What committees interest you?

Agriculture, appropriation, budget, ethics, financial services, oversight, small business,

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

The government has no right to hide how the public’s money is spent. Anyone who wastes tax payer money should be imprisoned for fraud just as would happen in the private sector.
