WHY I'M RUNNING

I'm running because I want to fight to restore the pillars of faith, family, and freedom on which the founders established this nation. These pillars have provided a strong foundation, but today they’re in danger. If any one of them falls, we’ll lose our country.

We’re a Christian nation. Our Constitution guarantees our religious freedom; however, God has been removed from our schools and from the public square. Government benefits have been substituted for fathers in the home, dooming millions of children to failure. States are denied the right to protect the unborn. Basic freedoms such as gun rights are in jeopardy, and fiscal irresponsibility and environmental overreach are the order of the day. Prosperity through private sector incentives is forgotten.

We can save our country, but politics as usual won’t get the job done. Career politicians – Republican as well as Democrat – have gotten us into this. We need conservative fighters, who are willing to pay a political price, if necessary, who will do whatever it takes, to restore the pillars of American society.

I’ve made a lot of tough decisions as a public servant and have the scars to show for it. But I’ve always done what I thought was right, and that’s what I’ll do if I’m privileged to go to Washington. It’s not about careers now, it’s about the country. We can save our nation if we return to God-centered, limited Constitutional government, require individual and fiscal responsibility, and allow businesses and individuals the tax and regulatory freedom to return us to prosperity.
