I have shared my beliefs on every topic under the sun, personal achievements and preferences. I've posted over 10 hours of video at less than 3 minutes at a time. Digestible, first person, and not rehearsed. This began January 1st 2026 when I started collecting signatures and the first day to get on the ballot. These are available to get to know everything about me and ask any questions you might have to be a better informed citizen and voter. Isn't this the availability one looks for in a civil servant?

Elections are carried out by the state and the federal government can offer monetary or technical support if requested, but my understanding is that Article 1 Section 4 gives independent state legislatures control over regulations in elections.
My priorities focus around oversight, investigation, and working with representatives to create legislation that will pass because nationwide the people voted several independents in, and the partisan gridlock has lost control. Oversight specifically concerning the new budget plans of the several DHS departments, which has ballooned from 60 odd billion dollars to well over 100 billion dollars in one fiscal year. Investigations primarily concerning violations of constitutional rights by officers and the recent shooting deaths by immigration and customs enforcement. I also would support investigations into the departments treatment of detainees, including chains of custody, sexual abuse, and deaths while in custody. No one is above the law and, qualified immunity is not an American ideal, because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. "....liberty and justice for all." Legislation would be the clear messages and pathways for all persons; tourist, worker, student, asylee, or just someone who wants to be American. Different paths for all, but consistent clear messaging, enforced evenly, and always with the dignity representative of our American ideals.
I would propose or support considerable changes in campaign financing. One solution is publicly financed campaigns and/or implementing strict caps for campaign spending. I have not learned of a better to solve the undeniable negative impacts of unlimited anonymous spending. I would encourage states to pass laws stripping corporations of their granted rights which permitted this corporate spending in elections. Money is not speech, corporations are not people and have no business influencing outcomes of the peoples self determination.
I would advocate for the implementation of basic preventative healthcare for all citizens including mental health services. I would vote "yay" and advocate for the end of the war in Iran, specifically on the war powers resolution act to end military hostilities in Iran. These two ideas alone I believe would raise the quality of life for countless Americans and give direct relief in gas prices and market instabilities. The largest issue in future affordability is our debt and part of this solution is an evaluation of all subsidies including tax incentives and grant programs. Some like fossil fuel tax incentives are forever and never get reevaluated. Some like the farm bill rarely see meaningful change and often just get replayed because debate and adjustments are impossible. Not because of lack of the lack of answers but because of the entrenched two party system that, with lobbyists in tow, has captured our marketplace for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. Dilution of our duopoly is the solution and that means unaffiliated representation is crucial. There is a serious national security threat and neither party has shown fiscal responsibility for their constituents in over 30 years.
Artificial intelligence regulation is paramount, because of the consensus of extinction level dangers, which has been stated by owners and repeated by employees and independent experts. The only consequence to regulating a.i. is fewer billions in profit for a few companies. This should be an easy decision for us all. Secondly is the moral and ethical choice to pass a federal budget that cuts deficit spending. This is representative of the fifth district. Bipartisan spending sprees and fiscal recklessness are a direct threat to our national security, affordability, and long term stability.
