I am a Harvard MBA and Jacksonville University Graduate, and I have played an important role in the growth of North Florida's regional innovation economy as an investor, founder, and executive for more than 20 years.
With three children attending Florida Universities, my wife Mary and I understand firsthand the challenges facing hardworking families in Florida and across the country. As the lone conservative on the Gainesville City Commission, I used common-sense solutions and responsible fiscal restraint to fight for taxpayers, limit government overreach and lower skyrocketing utility rates. I am a constitutional conservative who believes less government and more freedom are what make America great.We need to put America first! I stand with President Trump to protect our borders and keep America safe. I would fight to fund President Trump's border wall, eliminate sanctuary cities, and support E-Verify.
Government, all too often, makes it harder for American businesses to thrive. As a small business owner, I know firsthand how government regulations make it difficult to do our jobs. We should keep taxes low so you can keep more of your hard earned money, simplify the tax code, invest in workforce and technical education, and cut red tape to roll back needless regulations that hold businesses back. Now, more than ever, we need leaders in Washington who have the experience and understanding to get the job done.
- President Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." I am reminded of that as I see the progressive left continue their assault on our second amendment rights. As your representative, I will be an unwavering supporter of our second amendment. I have US Navy Qualified Weapons training, am a second amendment defender, and an NRA member.
- Prioritizing national security
- Stronger border security
- Securing our Second Amendment
- Protecting our veterans
- Draining the swamp
