Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am married to an amazing woman. We have three children who were born and raised in Jeffco. I am of Polish descent and legally came to American thirty-five years ago fleeing government oppression. I was raised in a communist country with no freedom to choose education, careers or ability to worship. My father and grandfather were sent to the gulag for their beliefs and not supporting communism. The government took the family farm, flour mill and last cow. My grandmother was left to support her young children with no resources. Somehow, she survived and was eventually reunited with my grandfather. My family started the process of coming to America. We waited years to legally come to the Greatest Country, America. Here I have been able to pursue my dreams. I graduated from Colorado Christian University with a business degree. I worked to learn English and eventually started my own business. I know firsthand what happens when the government tries to control our lives. Unfortunately, I have seen signs of the government trying to control our lives. I decided to run for Congress to give back to my friends, neighbors and country which has given me so many opportunities. In Congress, I will fight to protect our freedoms. I will fight to reduce our cost of living and make our communities safer. I will fight to protect our Western Independent way of life. I will fight to make sure y children and my children and live their American Dreams.

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?

• I will fight to lower the cost of living, reducing government spending which is driving inflation and the high prices of gas and groceries. When I talk to neighbors, they tell me they are spending nearly twice what they did four years ago for basic needs. The federal government must reduce spending; let’s start with eliminating new IRS agents.
• I will work to make our communities safer by closing our borders, stopping the flow of illegal drugs, human trafficking and the streams of migrants coming into the country with no background checks. We have millions in our country that we know very little about; reports indicate thousands who have come here have criminal backgrounds. We must pass immigration reform, so we know who is coming to this country. My family waited years to come legally to this country; it is not fair to those waiting to come to our country legally that millions are coming ahead of those waiting. Without secure borders we don’t have a country.
• Colorado is home to fiercely independent folks. We love our freedoms, our beautiful environment, and our ability to work hard and achieve our goals. I will support our farmers and ranchers, working to protect their access to water and supporting fire mitigation investments. Congressional District 7 is the heart of Colorado; we must protect our environment while supporting energy independence. We must invest in energy sources that make energy available and affordable.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am personally passionate about public policies which allow individuals to pursue their American dreams. This includes supporting limiting government spending and ensuring hardworking Americans can afford gas, groceries and housing. It means lowering taxes, so we keep more of our hard-earned dollars. It also means closing the border, so our communities are safe, and the value of our citizenship is high. It means parents are in charge of the education of their children. It means limiting government intrusion in our lives

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

The most important characteristics for elected officials are honesty, transparency and accountability. It is important for an elected official to listen to and vote for the values of their constituents; they should not be beholden to special interest groups. It is important that elected officials are representatives of those they serve. They should have real life experience, knowing what it is like to struggle to make ends meet and working for what they have so they know the value of hard work and the struggles of those they serve.

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

The qualities I possess that will make me a successful Representative include, my ability to listen to multiple points of view, my ability to find creative solutions to complex problems and my ability to work with people from different backgrounds and different points of view to find solutions. As a business owner, I work every day to serve my customers. I have years of experience listening to the needs of my customers and working with others to develop solutions that will meet their needs. My work is not driven by party affiliation, it is driven by finding solutions that meet peoples’ needs. The other quality I possess that will make me successful is my firsthand experience living in a country where the government takes our freedom and tries to make all decisions for your life. Knowing firsthand the risks of not being free enables me to work extra hard to ensure that does not happen in America.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency and government accountability are keys to our representative government. The powers given to the government are given by the governed. Those we represent should have one hundred percent access to how we spend money as it is their money we are spending. There should be no special relationship between our representatives, family members and any government officials. Government officials and representatives are able to do their jobs because those we represent entrust us with making rules. If we break that trust and try to hide how we spend money or interfere with accountability, then those we represent should elect someone else.
