John spent his career in federal service. He's seen firsthand the dedication of civil servants, and the damage done when politicians treat them as disposable. What happened under DOGE should never happen again.

I didn't set out to run for Congress. After 37 years of public service in the Air Force and in civil service, I had earned the right to slow down. I could be spending more time with my family. I could be fishing. I could be enjoying retirement.

I grew up believing that if you work hard, serve your community, and play by the rules, this country will meet you halfway. That belief shaped my life, from a union household, to military service, to a career in public service.

After 37 years of public service — in the Air Force and in civil service — John had earned the right to slow down. But watching working families struggle and politics become about power instead of people, sitting on the sidelines stopped feeling like an option.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.
Affordability & Economic Security: As a retired Air Force Major with three combat deployments, I know what war costs. Working families are already struggling with rising gas prices and grocery bills, and we need to focus on lowering these costs at home instead of wasting taxpayer dollars abroad. I want to rebuild trust in labor unions, raise the federal minimum wage, and invest in infrastructure (including roads, bridges, and broadband) that creates jobs and connects communities.

Healthcare Access: No one should have to drive 100 miles to see a doctor or go bankrupt from a medical emergency. We need to keep rural hospitals open and funded, restore ACA (Affordable Care Act) subsidies, protect Medicare and Apple Health/Medicaid, lower prescription drug costs, and increase transparency so families never face surprise medical bills. Ultimately, moving toward universal healthcare coverage should be our goal.
