CANDIDATE STATEMENT:

Candidate position

It’s time to send a Libertarian to Washington, the only party that truly puts America first and upholds the principles of our Founding Fathers and the Constitution. The astronomical government spending on the administrative state, bloated government programs, bureaucracy, and empire building has only increased the national debt. The trillions stolen from taxpayers for foreign aid and never-ending wars—without the consent of the people—wastes trillions of dollars that could create wealth and prosperity here at home. This MUST STOP. The destruction, corruption, lies and treachery perpetrated by the Uniparty has reached a level so shocking it inflicts psychological trauma, assaulting the conscience of every American.

PEACE Pledge 🕊️

Candidate position

I will never vote to authorize or fund military action without a formal Declaration of War from Congress—rejecting all vague "authorizations" (AUMFs) used to bypass the Constitution. Crucially, I will only support such a declaration in cases of direct, unprovoked attack on American soil and when it represents the proven will of the people. If the people of this district do not support a conflict, their representative has no moral or legal authority to vote for it.

Libertarians have been warning against all of the above for decades. In 2026, we stand vindicated—and unapologetically Libertarian. Our solution is simple: Abolish the IRS, end the Federal Reserve's monopoly on our currency, and return the stolen trillions directly to the American family.

Foreign aid and war

Candidate position

No more sending American taxpayer dollars into endless foreign wars. It's time to put the needs of Americans first. Foreign wars are vehicles for waste, corruption, and money‑laundering war scams.

Limited government and individual liberty

Candidate position

When the government can tell people what to do with their land, their kids’ schools, their health, their pets, or their money, it's overstepping the 'Big Freedom' that Arizonans value.
