A decorated combat proven veteran and recipient of multiple service awards including the “Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, “Global War on Terrorism Service Medal”, “Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn” Campaign combat service ribbons for service in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Joint Service Achievement, Army Commendation Medal, the NATO Iraqi Sudan Afghanistan Ribbon, six Reserve Components Achievement Medals and three National Defense Service Medal. As a civilian, career included several leadership and management level positions within multiple Fortune 100 companies and as a high school JROTC instructor. Colonel (Retired) Wimbish is ready to defend against the further "fundamental transformation and decay of America's conservative into a socialist style nation of overpowering government laws infringing upon our Constitutional rights!
- "I Heard You! I'm answering the call to put on the ARMOR OF GOD to defend our Homeland from all enemies!"
- We're at war to unseat corrupt political leaders who push systematically transforming America into a socialist nation!
- In the same spirit of "Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan", let's be active in defending conservative values and join me in the "Call to Action"
Defend Bill of Rights, 1st & 2nd Amendments, voting integrity, stop, illegal activities by closing open borders, protect power grid, plus up funding military and law enforcement, rebuild our economy, infra-structure, reduce taxes, enhance right to life laws for the unborn and elderly to ending health mandates and “critical race theory” and stand strong with allies like Israel who seek liberty and true peace and prosperity.
Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my parents who gave me the "Right to Life, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Ronald Reagan, Dr, George Washington Carter and Ben Carson , just to name a few!

Core Values of: Loyalty, Duty, Selfless Service, Respect, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage, Honesty and Courage to always stand for JUSTICE as exclaimed in the Preamble!
Have at least a Bachelor's degree, have excellent verbal, interpersonal and written communication skills, be highly personable and responsible to build trusting relationships. I must seek to understand the needs of the people that I represent, and communicate that through the legislative process.” Asa legislator always emphasized that without trusting relationships, it would be difficult to be effective in other ways, such as passing legislation.
Always do the right things right and do it right the first time! Integrity and Loyalty! Integrity and adherence to sworn oaths with out fear!
Do the right thing right and always trust in GOD for guidance!

The Bible!
A One in A Million, by Larry Graham
Getting those so down trodden to rise above their circumstances.
The House is the only branch of government that has been directly elected by American voters since its formation in 1789. The power of the "Peoples' House of the US Congress is divided into three types: enumerated, implied, and inherent" power. Representatives must be servant-leaders who will not compromise or bend to lobbyists as they serve as the voice of the people and as principled servant-leaders in creating and voting bills for the President to sign into law. Representatives are legislators who initiate everything from revenue bills, impeach of proven corrupt federal officials, to break an electoral college tie of the President-elect.
Not necessarily, but all must have clear understanding of true conservative values, a depth of historical knowledge without hiding the truth from our youth and a strong appreciation for America!
Defeat the "Fundamental Transformation of America" by removing corrupt rogue political leaders which is heading to socialism!
Ways and Means, Veteran and Health at minimum!
Yes, and definitely not for 40 years. Three two-year terms is an reasonable expectation in my opinion!
I support term limits as envisioned by our Founding Fathers at all federal, state and local levels. It is time to end the era of professional politicians.
Term limits must be the law so generations will not have to suffer again under 40 plus year term politicians who falter, misspeak and support The New World Order (NWO) and The Green Energy Agenda over America first!
Term limits must be the law so generations will not have to suffer again under 40 plus year term politicians who falter, misspeak and support The New World Order (NWO) and The Green Energy Agenda over America first!
Congressional Representatives Richard H. Cain, Oscar Stanton De Priest, John Mercer Langston, Burgess Owens, Allen West, Byron Donalds, and Mike Waltz.
Yes, my parents and their life struggles to still stand firm as Christians and Peace Makers for America!
Yes, compromise is necessary but, not at the risk or expense of destroying our unalienable rights called for in the Declaration of our Constitution which includes “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These rights are considered “inherent in all legal American rights!
As soon as possible sit and eventually chair either the House Special Committee on Aging, House Education and Labor, the House Committees on Veterans' Affairs and the Ways and Means committee.
