I was born and raised in Vandalia, Ohio, where I learned that responsibility, fairness, and service aren’t abstract ideas — they’re the way you show up for your community. Those values carried me from Vandalia Butler High School to Ohio Northern University to the University of Cincinnati College of Law, and they’ve guided me through nearly forty years of federal service.

I never planned to run for office. I’m not a professional politician — in fact, that’s the last thing I ever wanted to be. But over the past several years, I’ve watched our democratic institutions strained in ways I never imagined. I’ve watched elected leaders look away when our democracy needed defending. And I realized that donating money and hoping for the best wasn’t enough. I had to step forward. For nearly four decades, I’ve served our country as a national‑security attorney. I’ve advised senior leaders at the Department of Defense on foreign military sales, international partnerships, multi‑billion‑dollar defense acquisitions, and the policies that shape our relationships with allies around the world.

I’ve worked on programs that strengthen our alliances and keep Americans safe. I’ve led legal strategy for the F‑16, B‑1, B‑2, F‑15, Predator, and Global Hawk programs. I’ve negotiated precedent‑setting agreements with allies like Israel and Poland. I’ve represented the Air Force in high‑stakes litigation. And I’ve advised on politically sensitive issues affecting national security.
  • Affordability & Cost of Living Families are being squeezed by rising prices on everything from groceries to housing to prescription drugs. I believe there are practical steps to lower costs, strengthen supply chains, and expand domestic manufacturing. I oppose tariff policies that raise prices on ordinary Americans, because tariffs function as taxes on consumers. My focus is on real solutions that make life more affordable for working families.
  • Immigration Reform America needs an immigration system that is orderly, humane, and manageable. I support border security, streamlined legal immigration, protection for Dreamers, and dignity for all. I believe that immigrants are the backbone of this country, and that those here illegally should be deported, but in the process, treated with dignity and humanity.
  • I support restoring nationwide protections for reproductive freedom as codified in Roe vs. Wade and ensuring that every woman has the right to make her own healthcare decisions without political interference. Reproductive decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor, not left up to politicians.
I will fight to safeguard voting rights, uphold the rule of law, and ensure Congress fulfills its constitutional responsibilities. Every eligible citizen should have easy, secure access to the ballot. I support early voting, mail‑in voting, and modernized election systems. I am committed to equal rights and equal protection for all Americans — regardless of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, or sexual identity.
