Statement:

I am running for office as a fiscally conservative, independent populist Republican who is moderate on social issues. I am seeking office because I deeply care about our country and its future. My mission is to represent the silent majority of people who feel their voices are not being heard by both sides of the current establishment; people whose personal liberties, constitutional rights, and individual freedoms are under attack.

I have great admiration for our system of government and opportunities this country provides our citizens. At the same time, government spending needs to be evaluated, streamlined, and become more efficient. We have more than enough resources to prosper, although the overspending has caused our budget deficits to balloon. This spending is not only irresponsible, but dangerous to our future. We need to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act and impose additional reforms on the Wall Street and banking system. Audit and oversight of the Federal Reserve should be implemented.

We need to continue our efforts to increase private employment levels and foster business and agriculture domestically. I would encourage emphasis on technical and vocational education and preserving choice in schooling. The student loan system needs to be reevaluated. We should end fighting wars, work on ending corruption, implement term limits.

We need to continue reforming our trade, healthcare, environmental protection, and welfare systems. We should work on renegotiating trade agreements and strive to reduce foreign trade deficits. We ought to improve consumer protection, homeless, mental health, elderly care, veteran services.

I would like to see a merit-based immigration system overhaul which would put more emphasis on protecting our borders, adherence to the rule of law, and our labor needs. We are entrusted to protect our laws, liberties, sovereignty, and right to bear arms.

Put America First and God Bless You.
