Important: A lack of integrity, fairness, and common decency is increasingly putting the safety and very foundation of our nation at risk of total destruction. We are living in very fragile times. There is power in numbers -- we must come together, advocate for one another, reinforce, and at times, rebuild, the foundation upon which this nation stands. We are a nation of peoples who require and deserve security and peace. Read through my issues and priorities to learn how I plan to help instigate that.
Let's create something timeless. Something we can share with our families, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens. We must grasp what is enduring. We must strengthen the essential.
Special Topic:
Pro-life, Pro-choice, & Grace
Keeping Big $$
Out of Government:
I have signed the Candidate Pledge in support of a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to stop big money dominating our politics and empower all Americans.
When passed, this Amendment will:
Increase political representation of ordinary Americans; foster more competition, more free speech, and better debate in elections; empower states and communities to govern our own elections, free of dominating outside influence ; ensure Americans don’t have to buy our political voice
