Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Steven is a dual service Veteran having served in the U.S. Navy and Army National Guard. He currently protects Americans abroad, as a Diplomatic Security Contractor for the Department of State. Recognizing the staggering divide between elected officials and the communities they represent, Steven wants to re-establish the bond between voters and representatives. Steven is not a lifelong politician and believes it's that aspect of his campaign that keeps him connected to the voters. Completely self-funded, Steven's campaign has not taken any donations and believes it's the duty of candidates to give back to voters, not take from them. This principle is reinforced by his drive to cut taxes for middle-class and low-income families. He believes his duty is to protect Americans from self-serving and money-grabbing politicians in D.C. Steven will continue his service and fight for the prosperity of Americans by defending Constitutional rights and individual liberties on Capitol Hill.
