I will join other willing members of Congress and bring an end to this illegal tariff regime. Tariffs make it harder for our local business and entrepreneurs to make a living. They also increase the cost of your everyday necessities.

Existing generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney) were built on stolen assets and often negatively impact the human ability to create, reason, and meaningfully engage with the world around us. The tools are here, and they will not go away, so now we have an obligation to mitigate and prevent as much harm as we can.

I would vote to ban individual stock trades for all members of Congress and their immediate families. This ban should also be extended to members of the executive branch (e.g., the President, Vice President, cabinet secretaries) and their immediate families, as well as the judicial branch. They shouldn’t be able to regulate the companies they invest in. Our representatives are there to serve us, not their bank accounts.

Public-record research limitation
This does not mean the candidate has no prior public service or record. A record attaches only after authoritative office history and a stable provider identity are established; names, titles, attendance, sponsorship, and inferred responsibility are insufficient.
Campaign finance
Official filings may be amended after publication.
FEC candidate totals August 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. This does not establish that the candidate has never held public office.
