I was a Captain in the United States Army serving as a Special Forces Green Beret. In summer of 2023 I was forced out of the Army due to struggles I encountered for refusing to get the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. Since leaving the Army, I decided to share my story and speak out on behalf of others negatively impacted by the mandate. Now I’m running for Congress so I can fight to Defend God and Country and work for America’s Spiritual and Political Renewal.

I support immigration reform that secures our borders, enforces our laws, and puts American citizens first. Key reforms include: -Completing the border wall to fully secure our border. -Mass deportations of illegal immigrants, with self-deportation incentives by banning employment and housing of illegals. -Strict penalties, including a 10-year bar on re-entry for those previously deported who don't self deport. -Merit-based legal immigration ending chain migration and asylum/parole abuse. -Ending sanctuary cities and boosting interior enforcement. As a former Green Beret, I know strong borders protect national security, public safety, and our economy. Illegal immigration burdens taxpayers, takes American jobs and housing, and imports crime and drugs. At the same time, the legal immigration system is broken—overly bureaucratic and slow. It burdens families and others who should be here. We must cut red tape to make it faster while only admitting those who benefit our country

No, I do not believe climate change is a financial threat to our nation’s economy. The current narrative is wildly exaggerated and weaponized by global elites to justify greater government control over our energy and economy. The climate has changed naturally for millennia. Failed predictions, manipulated data, and flawed models reveal this is more about power than science. Radical policies like the Green New Deal would devastate Florida families with higher energy costs and job losses. The United States is already one of the lowest per-capita emitters and leads in emission reductions through innovation—yet this narrative burdens America while major polluters like China gain economic advantage. We should reject net-zero mandates. Instead, focus on practical stewardship and American energy dominance and independence in oil, gas, nuclear, and responsible renewables. Economic strength is the best path to real environmental progress.

1) Affordability and paying down the federal debt - America’s $39 trillion+ debt fuels inflation and crushes family budgets in Northwest Florida. I will cut reckless spending, shrink the federal government, eliminate waste, end omnibus bills, and stop foreign aid until we get our own house in order. I support extending tax cuts, slashing regulations, and unleashing American energy to lower costs for housing, groceries, energy, and insurance. 2) Protecting constitutional liberties - COVID mandates were the greatest infringement on personal liberties in modern times, and the modern surveillance state with AI poses a grave threat to our 4th Amendment right to privacy. As a Green Beret forced out by the vaccine mandate, I will fight government and Big Tech overreach. I support a Medical Freedom Amendment to ban forced medical procedures, repeal pharmaceutical liability shields, and safeguard privacy rights against unconstitutional surveillance.

Freedom of speech, as protected by the First Amendment, means the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs — even unpopular or dissenting ones — without government punishment or censorship. It is the cornerstone of a free society and essential to self-government. This includes: -The right to speak on political, religious, and scientific matters without fear of retaliation. -Strong protections against government collusion with Big Tech to suppress speech, as we saw during COVID. -Opposition to “hate speech” laws or any content-based restrictions that let bureaucrats decide what is acceptable. -The right to petition the government, protest peacefully, and engage in robust debate.

Both Congress and the President have roles in overseeing federal agencies, but they are distinct. Congress creates, funds, and limits agencies through legislation. It has the power to investigate, subpoena, and cut funding. I will use these tools aggressively to hold agencies accountable, dramatically reduce the size of the federal government, and cut or combine many agencies so it becomes more lean, agile, and returns power to the states. The President directs day-to-day execution of the law within the boundaries set by Congress. The biggest problem today is unelected bureaucrats and the deep state weaponizing federal agencies against American citizens. I will fight to restore accountability by strengthening congressional oversight, reducing agency power, cutting or combining multiple agencies, and slashing bureaucracy so agencies serve the people - not rule them.

The federal government should play no role in education. I support fully defunding and eliminating the Department of Education and returning full control and funding to the states and local communities. Pre-school & K-12: Education decisions belong with parents, states, and local school boards. Parents in Northwest Florida know far better what their own children need than unelected Washington DC bureaucrats. They should control curriculum, standards, and funding, with real school choice and full transparency. Federal involvement has only worsened outcomes and politicized classrooms. Higher education: The federal government should not subsidize or dictate policy. I support ending federal student loans and grants that drive up tuition, while promoting vocational training and trade schools. Parents and local communities can be trusted more than distant bureaucrats. Eliminating federal control will improve outcomes, cut bureaucracy, and restore parental rights.
