Expand all | Collapse all

US Army combat veteran, current law enforcement officer, and devout Christian. Husband to my wife Jennifer, and step father to 3 kids.
Adopting a lottery to benefit Alabamians. Our infrastructure, schools, scholarships, and first responders. Our money should not be going to support other states programs.

Term limits for elected office. I promise to step down after two terms in this office. Our founding fathers envisioned a government run by citizen legislators, not lifelong career politicians.

Our veterans and first responders should be a priority. We should take care of those that have given so much for our country and state. If we support LEOs with the best equipment and training then it will translate to safer streets for our communities.
