I've resided in our district for nearly 3 decades and am deeply engaged with our community. I've focused on mentoring youth, honoring seniors, working with the local business community, and supporting our veterans.
I've served on various civic boards, including the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce currently in the role of Chair, receiving the James S. Elkin Award for Humanitarianism in 2017. As a veteran, I remain active in the Falls Church VFW, the Greater Falls Church Veterans Council, and the American Legion. In my role as VFW Post Chaplain, I manage our youth and educational outreach through scholarship and education award programs. I've also invested many years coaching youth sports both in our local little league and currently youth softball. My platform emphasizes reducing the taxes, tolls, and licensing burdens we suffer under, addressing budget waste, supporting personal freedoms (such as marriage equality and healthcare choices), and protecting both individual and business liberties from government overreach.
I'm asking the community to allow me to continue serving as your next Delegate at the State level. We desperately need a change from the failed two-party system that continues to see us as political pawns vs. voters whose voices matter.
The time has come to put Community before Politics. Let’s keep Local Democracy alive and make our voices heard on November 5th., 2025.- Libertarian Democracy -
One of the few things all libertarians agree on is that in a perfect world there would be no need for Government at all, but as such a world doesn’t exist, Government should remain as limited and localized as possible belonging to the people. At all times Individual Liberties and Freedoms should be protected within a government that answers to its people, not special interest, corporations, and national political parties.
Now more than ever we need a Representative in Richmond who will protect our local institutions and rights above all else. Someone who will keep the executive office and the legislature out of our Homes, out of our Healthcare Decisions, and most importantly out of our Wallets at all times. - Cut Expenditures and return the Budget Surplus - Virginia has seen surpluses of Billions of Dollars (YES BILLIONS) over the last several Legislative Sessions. Yet our legislature rather than take a look at cutting our massive spending budget and lowering our taxes, instead uses the majority of it for pet projects and to increase expenditures and the burden on our people. At a time when fellow Virginians are struggling and can use every dollar our state and local governments demand more and more of our income. When will we finally say no more? Let’s make a stand and end this cycle come November.
- Term- Limits - The biggest challenge facing our community today is the tribal politics being pushed by our current two- system. The system works to divide us as neighbors, as families, and as friends by pushing this “either you are with us or against us” nonsense. Meanwhile Politicians remain in office for multiple terms focusing Soley on what their party wants. The voters don’t truly get a say in the process – let's be honest, realistically your options are to pick between the two candidates the parties will allow you to. In many instances you are not even given a choice, you get to vote for a red or blue rubber stamp in uncontested races that will simply push their national party interests over the needs of their constituents.

I'm looking forward to truly representing the people of District 13, returning political discourse to a healthy place, and holding our legislature accountable. We have accepted the two-party system for far too long and it has failed us time and time again. It's time for real change in Richmond, join us as we make history on November 7th, 2023.
For more detailed information please check out the Campaign website, facebook page, and email or just give me a call.- Quit the Games, Campaign lies, and truly help advance equality in Virginia starting with adjusting tax brackets and true affordable housing efforts - I wish we had more space here.
- AGAIN, Quit the games, Campaign lies, and shell games and finally Serve those who Served. We need to reduce and eliminate the tax burdens on our military retirees, first responders, and their pensions, our disabled veterans and their Families.
- It's time to tackle ballot access in Virginia and make it possible for all voices to be heard, we need to make access to the ballot easier for third party and independent candidates in our state. We need to establish term limits and end these unopposed handed down like a fiefdom generation after generation districts in our state once and for all.
