Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a devoted husband, loving father, successful businessman and a Liberty Activist. I currently run four Oklahoma businesses and I also serve as the Treasurer of the National Libertarian Party.

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 lower every Tulsa County Homeowner's property taxes through a county-wide depreciation
• I will cut the department budget by 20% and will not aggressively fight tax challenges against our own citizens
• I will not take a salary for the entire time I am in the role

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Taxation is my top issue, by far. I am 42 years old, I have paid over $1 million in taxes and I am sick of the Government finding silent ways to increase our taxes without ever coming back to the ballot box for citizen approval. While most people think that this only happens at the Federal Level, they will be surprised to hear that the biggest abuser of silent tax increases at the local level is the County Assessor’s office.

For example, you might vote on a $50 million school bond and it wins or loses. But, then the Assessor's office raises your property values and the $50M school bond becomes $75 million without ever seeing another vote. That is theft.

I believe that over-taxation is theft. They are stealing your dollars without even having a vote on the tax increase. Elect me and I will start from the standpoint that the money is yours, and THE GOVERNMENT must prove that YOU entered into a mutual contract to owe us the money for services rendered, rather than the other way around. I will not use a dime of taxpayer funding for my salary, and I will be spending all of my time putting as much of your tax dollars back into your pocket as possible.
