Key Principles
Taxes
For too long your tax dollars have been mis-spent, wasted, and stolen by fraud. I propose a flat sales tax for all and elimination of federal income tax. That allows all citizens, non-citizens, and visitors alike to pay their fair share to support the programs that benefit us all.
Term Limits
Our founders never intended for elected officials to serve in that office for a lifetime. We now have a political class running our government according to their own interests. I will work for a limit of two terms for all representatives and senators.
Promises Kept
I share the same values of the people in District 19. I want to improve quality of life for our families, to make America stronger protect and enforce the rule of law. It all begins with believing your vote matters. I will keep these promises and push for a culture of integrity in Washington
