Why did I choose to run for Congress?
After the passage of the so called "Big Beautiful Bill" in 2025, it became obvious that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats were willing to do anything about our nearly $2 Trillion annual Deficits or the $39 Trillion of Government Debt. I hope to reverse this reckless spending before it damages our financial markets and overall economy.
Legislative Policy Priorities
[1] Neutralize Partisan Gridlock
[2] Balance the Budget as Quickly as Possible

[4] Reduce Government Waste, Fraud and Abuse
[5] Obtain Sustainable/Affordable Healthcare
[6] Update Social Security & Medicare Funding
[7] Defund Foreign Military Interventions
Why Vote for an Independent?
Independents serve only their constituents, not a president, minority/majority leader or national party. They have no incentive to sabotage either party’s agenda, and they can focus on resolving problems versus creating campaign issues for the next election!
