I grew up on Long Island with my family, spending much of my childhood in the city with my grandfather, a lifelong New Yorker and a retired member of the FDNY. I went to law school and became a prosecutor in order to continue the life of service to God and country that my family had instilled in me.
The destruction and devastation of our country at the hands of the socialist left sickens me as I watch our beloved rights stolen by a corrupt and immoral system. Many have chosen to flee; I have chosen to stay and fight.
I was tough on crime as a prosecutor, fighting the abhorrent results of incompetent district attorneys and bad policies like bail reform. I was a confident advisor as an accountant, watching Long Island families and small businesses be victimized by our tax codes. I was a trusted friend as a teacher, watching our government steal the right of parents to raise their own children. I have watched our government orchestrate an invasion of our country while stealing our Constitutional rights as citizens. I am done watching, and I am asking for your vote so that We The People can take back America.
- We need to take back the sovereignty of our country and stop the invasion at our Southern border by building the wall, and implementing a mass deportation plan to deport every illegal that has criminally crossed our border!
- We need to overhaul the Federal Tax Code and become energy independent through fracking and drilling on our own land instead of funding anti-American countries through purchase of gas and oil that keeps our inflation rate at an all-time high!
- We need to remove DEI and the gender agenda from our education systems putting parents back in charge of raising their children once again, and abolish the Federal Department of Education returning the oversight of education in America to the states as the Constitution intended!
