In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm running for Congress because I believe we deserve better. I want to bring common sense, honesty, and accountability back to government—and make Washington work for us again. I'm not here to climb the political ladder. I'm here to lift people up.”
“I'm a veteran, a husband, a dad, and a small business owner who's spent his life working hard and standing up for what's right. I served eight years in the US Air Force, where I learned the importance of discipline, service, and putting others first. After that, I spent 16 years in corporate America leading high-stakes operations for one of the nation's largest retailers—solving problems, building teams, and getting things done.”
