Lived in Kansas City Missouri before joining the Military (USAF), and served for 11 years, mainly in the Strategic Air Command, involved in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Left the Air Force moved to Kansas and lived in Shawnee for over 25 years. I have two degrees, a Bachelor of Science/Business Administration and an Associate's Degree in Logistics. Consider myself Middle-Class, once owned two businesses. I'm married and have two kids, and I'm Homeowner. Ran for office, once as a State Representative and twice for the U.S. House of Representative Third Congressional District, 2016 and 2020. I would consider myself a Conservative, following the belief of Minimum Government-Maximum Freedom. In my off time, I'm an Outdoorsman, I enjoy Trekking, Hiking Camping, Fly-fishing, and Gun Sports. One of the areas I'm intrigued by in Business is Economics, I believe in a Free Market system not interfered with by Governance.
  • The Need for a smaller Federal Government, focusing on eliminating or decrease spending of Branches, Offices and Programs targeting on reducing the National Debt.
  • Abolishing the present Income Tax System, a complex 7000 pages of loop holes and special interest handouts, so confusing that even the author, the IRS, along with tax preparers and citizens cant even fathom. Its time to replace it with a different taxation system which is fair across the board both with rich and poor, small businesses and corporations, providing pre-bates to those near or under the Poverty Level.
  • Congress needs to be in session more than the average of 111 days out of the year, listening with each other their constituents and not from outside sources in Washington D.C.. I would promote a Per-Session Payment system that of your annual salary you only get paid if you're if congress is in session and at home in a town hall, in-person, listening to their constituents.
*Federal Budget and Spending
  • Taxation
  • Energy Vs Environment
  • ESG Environmental, Social and Governance Policy interfering with Free Market.
  • Immigration
Who do I look up to?

They have all passed on, for the record, my Dad for his surviving the European Depression, World War Two, and confronting all the problems that came with it. He lived a dignified life and was very giving.
My Grandfather and Grandmother who were well-to-do Farmers in Ukraine in the 1930s were witnesses to the execution of the local village Jews by the Nazi Einsatzgruppen, then were forced to immigrate west. My Grandfather left my Grandmother and Mom and joined the French Foreign Legion and became a French Partisan Fighter, he died a year or two later after the war. I never met my Grandfather but by the stories I've heard, he placed Country before Self. As for my Grandmother they had to abandon the Farm took the Livestock then lost the livestock to the Germans and was forced to work as a cook in a German Labor Camp. After the War, they returned to Ukraine to find that the Communists took over Ukraine and she lost the Farm. In Short- to lose everything and start over is amazingly true survival skills and perseverance.
My friend Rod Graham was my religious Mentor/Advisor. He was Wise and Giving. The example of the
"Good and Faithful Servant".

Whose example would you like to follow and why? Ronald Reagan. One of the Last Great Statesman. In Negotiation of Give and Take, you would at least end up friends with Reagan, he did it with opposing Democrats, Republicans and even opposing world leaders like the Soviets.
Something Else: I collect pieces of World, National, and Local History; and Current Events. I apply potentially positive outcomes that are beneficial to today's issues and Avoid Past Pitfalls that could damage.

Personal Poem

"It was He! Who came to Save a Country."
"It was He! Who gave me a Better Future."
"It was He! Who Secured my Freedom."

His Name is Not Important.
Personal: Lived a block away from President Harry S. Truman in Independence Missouri met him twice during his daily walks, I was five years old.
Historically: September 11, 2001 (9/11) was the Tragedy of the people who died in the collapse of the World Trade Center. I was 40 years old.
Mowing lawns in my neighborhood started at age twelve and did it for 6 years.
Also, I was a Caddy at Blue Hills Country Club for those six years.

In the past, I struggled with about everything in life, they are the chains that bind.
Now, I don't Struggle, because I am not Bound.
The House is the closest representation to the people in the district they represent. Having a two-year term is key to the changing political climate of that district. The number of constituents with issues is also manageable in answering questions and helping. It is also necessary to the "Checks and Balances" system.
No. I think it's beneficial to have knowledge of governance. As far as Politics, "The same old ways" can be stagnant and deter new members from bringing in fresh ideas. "In the Beltway" "Good-ole Boy" Politics has got to go.
* Threats on our Democracy.
  • Lowering the National Debt.
  • Abolishing the present income tax system and replacing it with a Flat Tax.
  • Border security.
1. The Ways and Means Committee. taxation is a top priority. Note: Members of Ways and Means are restricted in 
    holding other committee chairs without a written waiver.

2. Transportation and Infrastructure.
3. Agriculture.
4. Veteran Affairs.
5. Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.

6. Homeland Security
NA
Yes. It is the right term length due to evolving "Political Flavor " in Congressional Districts.
Terms limits are necessary. In the U.S. House, it should be a Maximum of four non-consecutive two-year terms.
The Non-consecutive procedure will prevent members from hopping in and out of the office. Example: A seated member of the House after three terms, promotes Proxy candidate to run in his place to break up his consecutive terms.
Past: Congressman Tim Huelskamp of the First Congressional District of Kansas. In Office, Tim had the testicular fortitude to go Toe-To-Toe with Speaker of the House Boehner when he attempted to coerce him to change his vote and Huelskamp did not back down. That's Courage.
Present: Congressman Thomas Massie.
Attending meetings and talking with folks I hear great uneasiness and distrust in the Federal Government,
This is overall unhealthy for our country. the Federal Government needs to Back off the personal lives and business of the American People. We need to promote more Domestic Tranquility.
Irish Joke about two Irish ditch diggers digging in front of a Bordello, watching a rabbi, pastor, and priest.
Desirable.
It's High. First of all, you need to collect revenues to run a government, they need to be fair across the board.
I'm a firm believer in Abolishing the present income tax system and replacing it with a Flat Tax System.

2016

The following issues were listed on Hohe's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Replace the Income Tax System with a Consumption Tax/Fair Tax: I propose to remove the 16th Amendment of the United States Constitution, the right of Congress to impose an income tax and replace it with a Consumption Tax/Fair Tax at a percentage to support the defense of our Nation and the operation of the federal government, the care of Veterans and the support of our senior citizens.
  • Secure Our Southern Borders and Enforce Existing Immigration Laws: We've heard the talk of securing the border... some say a tall fence, some say increasing the Border Patrol. I propose a barrier, a barrier such as the Great Wall of China that kept the Mongols out of China; castle walls with moats that kept out attacking barbaric tribes, the use of 30 foot concrete walls that have protected the United States troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and Israel's 'Great Wall' which aided in the peaceful coexistence of the Israeli's and Palestinians.
  • End Federally Run and Funded Social Services and Let States Decide: All federally run and funded Social Services like affordable healthcare, housing supplements and welfare, be ended and then handed to the states to decide if they would continue the programs at the state's expense or drop them.[4]
