INTRODUCING THE CANDIDATES

“Vote America First”

VOTE FOR

As a small businessman for the past 20 years, I understand the economic needs of families and small businesses. I understand what it means to make a profit, generate a payroll, and provide affordable private insurance. I believe education through vocation, college, or apprenticeship training programs is the basis for a sound economy and American security.

Married for 35 years, a father of four and grandfather to five, I understand the challenges of traditional and nontraditional families. I attend Saint Leo’s University and Victoria College, maintaining a 4.0-grade average while working full time. I will work just as hard for you!

I have a passion for service, for people, and government it relates to our freedoms, Independence, and opportunities without burdensome regulations. A sound, secure border policy keeps our nation sovereign. We are a nation founded on Christian principles and diversity. I support prayer in schools, The Pledge of Allegiance, and singing the national anthem.

I sincerely want to devote my energies to helping our Country get out of its downward spiral while representing the needs of District 27. I humbly ask for your vote in the Republican Primary on March 6, 2018.
