I grew up on the docks and dirt roads of Southeast Georgia. It’s the kind of place where faith comes first, family keeps you grounded, and nobody’s too important to pitch in. My brother and sisters and I learned early what service looks like. Dad spent years representing this district, and Mom kept all of us pointed in the right direction. That childhood gave me a front-row seat to what real leadership feels like: listening more than you talk, working harder than you boast, and never forgetting who you serve.

I’m a son of Savannah. I was raised with a tin boat, a huge extended family, and a deep love for this region. I’ve spent most of my life crisscrossing these counties: hosting fish fries, knocking on doors, hauling candidates in my truck, and making the follow-up calls nobody else remembered. South Georgia has a way of teaching you the value of showing up and following through.

Government doesn’t create prosperity, hardworking Americans do. I will always fight to lower taxes across the board so families keep more of what they earn, and small businesses can thrive. A simpler and fairer tax code will grow our economy and reward hard work, not punish success.

Washington’s addiction to spending is bankrupting future generations. I will support efforts to restore fiscal discipline that champions regular order in appropriations, advocates for a return to balanced budgets and holds government agencies accountable for every taxpayer dollar.

Medicaid should be a safety net, not a trap. I support work requirements for able-bodied adults and no Medicaid handouts to illegal aliens. We must ensure the most vulnerable get the care they need, without bankrupting the country.

A nation without borders is not a sovereign nation. President Trump is restoring order and I’m running for Congress to back him up. When it comes to protecting our border, the good fight is far from over. I support deploying more resources for border enforcement to crack down on cartels and traffickers, and a legal immigration policy that is merit-based and focused on safety and our nation’s interest.

I will fight for trade deals that put American workers, farmers and manufacturers first. No more lopsided agreements that ship jobs overseas or make us dependent on adversaries. Fair, reciprocal trade is essential to rebuilding our manufacturing base, protecting national security and growing the American middle class.

President Trump has shown the world that peace through strength still works. I support rebuilding our military to ensure readiness and technological superiority. That means investing in our troops and strengthening our local military installations at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.

America is once again regaining its footing on the world stage, but we can’t let up. I will push for a foreign policy that defends our sovereignty, strengthens our alliances and confronts threats like Iran, Russia and China. This includes ending the importation of foreign sources of energy, cutting our dependence on Chinese manufacturing for critical goods, stopping the theft of our intellectual property and buying up U.S. farmland.

Protecting hard-earned opportunities for America’s women and girls is not about hate or exclusion. It is about common sense and biological reality. I support the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and the promotion of state and local laws that prevent schools from being punished for protecting female athletes.

I am proudly pro-life and I believe it is our moral responsibility to defend the sanctity of life. That includes banning late-term abortions, ending taxpayer funding for abortion providers and protecting women by promoting adoption and support for expectant mothers. We must also protect the conscience rights of medical professionals and faith-based organizations that object to participating in abortions.

Sky-high energy prices are crushing families and small businesses. We need to end the left’s war on American energy and restore U.S. energy independence. I support more domestic drilling (responsibly), streamlined permitting and an all-of-the-above strategy to keep gas and electricity affordable while cutting off our reliance on foreign adversaries.
