Finance Reports
Campaign committee registered; no periodic FEC report on file yet
Checked 2026-09-24: principal campaign committee C00961458 (candidate ID H4AR01085) has no periodic Form 3 report (quarterly or pre-/post-election) covering 2025–26 in the FEC electronic-filing list or the FEC image index, so no receipts, spending or cash on hand have been reported yet. A committee registered after June 30 files its first report with the October Quarterly (due Oct 15, 2026).

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Voters deserve another choice besides the hyper-partisanship of the two parties with a stranglehold on politics; those two parties have an abysmal record at controlling the size of government, government spending and taxes. My campaign is about less government and more freedom.”
