I am a Christian first and foremost. I am a Conservative that wants our government and our country to do better than it is. My wife and I started our own moving company over 25 years ago. Together we have built it to be one of the largest locally owned moving companies in the state of Oklahoma. We have 2 daughters and 2 grand children. I have always been fascinated by politics and I decided to run because I want to try to change the way politicians become complacent about the problems we are facing as both a state and a nation. I am very out spoken about what I believe is right and wrong and I will not cave on my core values.
  • The influx of illegal crossings at our border has become unmanageable. Under the current administration it's estimate 15 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States, a number that surpasses the population of 36 states in America. While I may not have control over national policies, I am committed to ensuring that Oklahoma's laws remain strong to prevent the entry of illegal immigrants. It is imperative that no government benefits be extended to individuals who enter our country or our state unlawfully.
  • As a CASA volunteer safeguarding the innocence and well-being of children is a paramount priority. Our children are precious and should be shielded from harm at all times. It is alarming that those who should protect them are allowing exploitation and abuse. Professionals such as school administrators, physicians and even parents should never engage in discussing with minors about gender transitioning and sexual orientation. Legislation should be enacted to ensure severe repercussions for conversations about these matters between professionals and minors.
  • The political sphere is often seen as a domain where financial influence holds sway. Unlike a seasoned politician, I am an entreprenuer who has established several companies through hard work. While I have not held public office before, I have the skills to listen attentively and make decisions that promote growth and stability. In representing my district, I will prioritize transparent communication and actively engage with constituents to make decisions that will benefit my district and the state.
I very passionate about protecting children. They must be protected in and out of the womb. There are many forces trying to get to our children and we must stand up against them. I'm also passionate about the right to protect the 2nd amendment and ensure that we will always have this right to be armed for our protection.
The core responsibility for anyone elected to office is to the people he or she serves. This is a leadership position, but it on the behalf of your constituents. You must be there to serve and listen. You're not elected because you have all the answers you are elected because the people believe you have the ability to listen and act on their behalf.
I sacked groceries for United grocery stores. I did that job for a year when I was 16 years old.
