Family & Business Man
Candidate positionJim is running for Congress to give President Donald J. Trump the support he needs and to fight for the conservative values that make Southwest Florida strong. He’s not a career politician with ambitions for higher office—like President Trump, he’s a straight-talking outsider who’s fed up with the D.C. swamp ignoring real Americans. In Washington, Jim will work to secure the border and stop illegal immigration, stand firmly with law enforcement and first responders, and defend free speech from the growing threat of censorship by Big Tech. He will also fight for term limits to end the ruling class of career politicians who are more beholden to special interests than the people they were elected to serve. Jim will protect our economy by opposing wasteful government spending and fighting against the socialist policies that are weakening our nation. And above all, he will always defend our constitutional freedoms.
