I am a 56 year old Alabama Businessman and Cattle Farmer running as a republican for US Senate. I am not a career politician or trail lawyer. I want to take hard work and common sense to Washington DC and serve the people of Alabama.

I am married to Stacie Walker. I have one son and two step-sons and 5 grandchildren. Sean and Jodi are foster parents. Stacie and I live in Lineville, AL on the cattle farm.

My grandfathers, who were both WWII Veterans, taught me a valuable lesson you don’t hear much these days: that hard work will not kill you. I started my cattle farm from scratch in 1985 while still in high school. That farm today has grown to cover 3000 acres with 750 momma cows, 26 bulls and approx. 700 calves right now.

I have had an Alabama State General Contractors License since 1996 where we have built both commercial and residential properties. We own Wedowee Quarry, Patriot Fueling Centers, Hatchett Creek Leasing, Inc and Patriot Fuels USA Inc. We have a wonderful team of hard working team members who work with us each day.

Please consider voting for hard work and common sense in this election.
  • I Will introduce legislation to tariff imported prescription drugs in order to bring all pharmaceutical drug manufacturing back to the United States of America.
  • I will continue the fight that Tommy Tubberville and other Senators have started by stopping the purchase of our homeland to foreign adversaries like China and Russia. We must have a Senator that understands these issues and stands up for the people of Alabama. I want to loudly express to you right now that Alabama is #4 on the list of all States with the most farm land and timberland by foreign countries. China and other countries own 2,172,558 acres of agricultural land in Alabama. China owns most of the beautiful National Forest in Alabama. Please let that sink in. We must vote and elect and Senator that protects you from foreign hostile countries in our Homeland!
  • I will seek a position on the Senate Agriculture Committee where I can promote American farm and timber products to new foreign markets in order to provide a long term sustainable income for our farmers.
Agriculture, Homeland Security, Our Military, and Transportation
I admire JD Vance for the road he has traveled and for the man he has become even in the face of diversity. To be honest our childhood was very much alike. I think he and I both took the high road. I believe he is an outstanding example being smart, brave, high moral character and a good all-around man.
An elected official should have very high moral and ethnical standards, not just in public but at all times. Elected officials are supposed to be leaders and mentors for the general population.
Business knowledge, willing to work hard, long hours, highest ethnical standards, God fearing man or woman, Highest moral standards, and the ability to negotiate to find solutions to hard problems.
I would like to leave my farm to my grandkids as my legacy and it be a perpetual farm for generations to come.. I would like for them to know that I was a good, upstanding man who worked hard for my community and my State. I would like them to be proud of me when I leave this Earth.
Talladega Office Machines. Working on school and business copy machines and typewriters. I had the job part-time and full-time for 6 years. It was working for my Dad and I had to work harder than anyone else because I was his son.
Protection of our Food Supply because without food and drugs we can not survive as a country and we can not rely on other countries to provide our food and drugs to us.
I believe in term limits of two terms for Senators and three terms for members of the House of Representatives. I have signed a pledge to support legislation of term limits.
A US Senator is 1 of 100 men and women who are chosen to craft and design the highest laws of the land. This is one of the highest honors of our land that can bestowed upon a person.
No, I do not. President Trump is a perfect example that a great businessman can be a great President. I actually feel like someone who has political experience a=can get more down than the career politicians we have now bogging down our government system.
It should be outlawed from the floor of Congress. It has become a tool if someone cant have their way , they just block the progress of the entire nation by blocking any law or business of the Congress from passing.
Based on their past performance and record on the bench. Based on their thoughts, values, and morals as they concern the business and wellbeing of the United States.
I would want to build very good relationships, one where yo can work together to accomplish the good for Alabama as well as their States which they represent.
Sometimes compromise is a very good tool. There is not one person who knows everything so the ability to hear and understand others to make a final decision is crucial to our democracy.
To the fullest extent of the law in matters which concern the government, national security, or the wellbeing of American citizens.
Based on their past performance and record in their given sector of expertise. Based on their thoughts, values, and morals as they concern the business and wellbeing of the United States.
Being a Helicopter Pilot and being able to use that ability to work to help our local communities and being able to save peoples lives and make sure those that are lost found their way back home.
AI is the next BIG thing in the world just as the internet was years ago. Either the United States will be in the front or we will be left behind. It is very important for our government to insure that America is in the forefront of AI in the future.
I believe that our forefathers including my two grandfathers fought for this country and my right to vote. I exercise that right in every election. I believe that to be entitled to vote you need to be an American Citizen, you need to process and valid drivers license or ID, you can not be convicted of a felony or have your voting rights removed by law. I would strongly be for and vote for all laws related to voter security in the United States.
