National security, foreign policy, and veterans
Candidate positionI am running as a candidate for the United States Senate because the two-party system has failed America. Both parties increase the national debt, keep us in endless wars, and favor big corporations, harming our families in the process. Both parties benefit from division among Americans. I reject the left-right divide because the challenge ahead of us is those at the top versus those at the bottom — those in power against the people. I will fight for all Idahoans, not billionaires or extremists.I grew up on a family farm, where I learned from a very young age the values we hold in Idaho: hard work and caring for others. I served in the United States Army as a tank commander and armor officer. The Army taught me the discipline of teamwork, leadership, and determination. These are the qualities I bring to public service.
