Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My wife and I have been married for 45 years and have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. Having served 22 years of military service and 37 years with a major airline I have recently retired. We love our country and it is sad to see how rapidly it is coming apart.

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?

• The federal legislators must put America First and bring back the prosperity that is America! The New World Order is just another way of saying he redistribution of wealth and eliminating all fossil fuels in the United States but not the rest of the world like China and India.
• Follow the Constitution! The Constitution does not give the Federal government the right to mandate and regulate our everyday lives.
• Our government representatives have forgotten who they represent. They have become “elitists” and are embracing green energy and “New World Order” and that includes many Republicans.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Government intervention in our daily lives is unconstitutional and must end. Federal spending has been out control for some time and has really accelerated in the last few years. Politicians always talk of smaller government but rarely follow up!! I will push for much smaller government and lower taxes.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
