Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a husband, father, and veteran who is running for the 6th District of the Alabama State Senate as a Libertarian. I joined the race to fight the divisive environment and hyperpolarization created by the two-party system. The old parties have led the country down a path of toxic tribalism that isn’t sustainable if we are to move forward as ONE PEOPLE. I also believe that every citizen has the right to live their life in whatever manner they choose, as long as it doesn’t forcibly infringe on the rights of others.

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?

• Parents should be able to choose which school their children attend
• Citizens don't need government officials to tell us how to live our lives or raise our children.
• Taxation is theft and taxing citizens for purchasing items required to live should be illegal

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Bringing a state lottery to alabama as well as legalizing adult use cannabis will bring millions of dollars in tax revenue. This new income can be used to offset the tax burden on hard working Alabamians, allowing them to keep more of their paychecks.

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?

• Self governance and individual freedoms are the keys to the American dream.
• "I want my gay neighbors to have the ability to protect their cannabis farm with machine guns"
• Income tax is theft. I've never had a government official work my hours for me, so why do they think they have a right to my earnings?

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The government takes too much from it's citizens while offering very little in return. I will work to bring programs and businesses to Alabama that will generate "income" for the state, which will offset the "income" generated by our income taxes. This will keep more money in the pockets of Alabamians without the government feeling the loss of revenue.
