Why Am I Running
A People's Person Running For The People's Office
My campaign is built on the same values I lived every day as a soldier and as your neighbor. I’ve experienced hardship, hope, and the strength it takes to start again. Having been homeless twice as a disabled veteran, I know firsthand how broken our systems can be—and how vital real help is. I’m running for Congress to bring Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage to Washington—because you deserve a representative who lives these values openly and fights for you with everything they have.
Housing: Building with Honor, Duty, and Compassion
I’ve lived the struggle of finding affordable housing. Twice I was homeless—relying on programs like SSVF and Section 8, only to find the process full of barriers and bureaucracy.
With Duty and Integrity, I will cut through red tape, reform credit requirements for Section 8, and invest in building genuinely affordable homes. My commitment is built on Selfless Service—no one in our community should be left behind or left out.
Education: Respect and Opportunity for Every Student
Our future begins in our classrooms. Too many public schools in our district are underfunded, neglected, and stripped of opportunities—especially hands-on trades.
Guided by Respect and Honor, I’ll fight for repairs and fair funding in every school, and I’ll proudly bring trades and technical training back. With Loyalty and Selfless Service, I believe every child deserves a real path to success—no exceptions.
Minimum Wage & Good Jobs: Duty to Families, Integrity in Opportunity
Work should offer dignity—a living wage, real training, and a shot at something better.
Driven by Duty, I’ll champion real training and apprenticeship programs, an honest minimum wage that keeps up with rising costs, and support for working families like paid leave and affordable childcare. With Personal Courage and Integrity, I’ll fight for policies that truly lift our district—because I’ve seen what happens when we settle for less.
Bringing Army Values to Congress
I don’t just talk about values—I’ve lived them and will bring them with me to Congress, every day.
Loyalty. Duty. Respect. Selfless Service. Honor. Integrity. Personal Courage.
That’s the standard I promise to deliver—for you, for every family, and for our shared future.
