Why I Am Running For
U.S. Congress
Let's Stand
Together
Twenty-five years ago, America stood alone on the world stage.
The lone superpower. The most powerful military. The greatest economic engine.
In the 25 years since:
​
-
Our national debt has ballooned from $6 to $36 Trillion.
-
12 million undocumented immigrants walked across our borders.
-
Wall Street precipitated a mortgage crisis that ruined main street.
-
China rose from an economic backwater into a Superpower with our help.
-
The opioid and fentanyl crisis killed 600,000 Americans.
-
A virus escaped from a lab in China that was partially funded with our tax dollars and killed 1.2 million Americans.
Little wonder that voters have lost faith in democracy and our institutions.
The urgent question before us is how we fix it.
This we know.
Change will not come until we change some of the people in Congress.
In my campaign for Congress, I’ll be offering solutions, guided by my faith,
fidelity to freedom and conservative values.
Visit the issues section of my website. Watch the video. You’ll see a conservative vision of what American can be, and a path to the glory we once knew.
