After winning the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Nevada and President Trump’s endorsement, I have a simple message for the American people.

 

America, I’ve got you.

 

Please remember these three words:

 

- Accountability

 

- Leadership

 

- Hope

 

It’s time for Joe Biden and Democrats like Jacky Rosen to face accountability. America is not in the same place we were four years ago. Our country has been under assault from within and without.

 

The crisis on the border was totally created by Joe Biden. It has led to the deaths of so many Americans from fentanyl and opioid overdoses. He has allowed hundreds of known members of terror watch lists to come across our border. Joe Biden has taken over 80 executive actions to weaken our sovereignty, to weaken our national security, to allow our border to become the crisis that it is. And Jacky Rosen has done NOTHING to push back.

 

When we talk about accountability we talk about why this economy isn’t working for everyone. Why are prices so high? Why have we abandoned American energy independence, American energy security? Why does this administration and Jacky Rosen put politics over people? The issues abound. And what Joe Biden and Jacky Rosen have done is they’ve left a wake of hardship and destruction on so many Americans.

 

It’s not just about accountability, it’s also about leadership. It’s about leadership that will take seriously serving the people.

 

It’s about leadership that will secure our borders. It’s about leadership that will go after the cartels. It’s about leadership that will honor our sovereignty. It’s about leadership that will pursue American energy security. It’s about leadership that will lower taxes. It’s about leadership that won’t use issues and regulators to hold individuals and businesses hostage. It’s about leadership that will make sure we have Constitutional judges instead of activist judges. It’s about leadership that prioritizes families and parents and their kids’ education over the bureaucracy that is ruining it.

 

It’s also about one more thing – it’s about hope. Because it does us no good to ACKNOWLEDGE the challenges that we’ve all been dealing with, it does us no good to TALK about what leadership could be because hope is a fragile thing. I know that firsthand.

 

And I’ve talked to so many Nevadans and so many Americans who are at a point like I was in 2008, when we were THIS CLOSE to allowing hope to be extinguished. But I tell you what, the beautiful miracle of that day came from the voice of my gunner as I was laying there in the dirt and the dust of that Kandahar battlefield. Having just given up the will to live, he came up to me, having been wounded himself, under fire, and he said “Sir, I’ve got you.” Those words still give me chills today. 

 

When I got blown up in Afghanistan in 2008, I shouldn’t have lived that day. And yet, when I surrendered to my Creator, when I surrendered my soul, when I surrendered my life, that’s when I found the ultimate purpose.

 

I’ve been blessed to live the American Dream. I ask for no man, no woman’s pity. I don’t ask for sympathy. I don’t ask for acknowledgement of the service I’ve already done. I have had a beautiful life. I have an incredible, supportive wife. We’ve been married for 15 years and we’re blessed with three incredible children. I’ve realized the American Dream. It allowed me to be a business owner. I’ve realized the American Dream when I’ve had a roof over my head and food on the table and gas in my car.

 

It’s time to deliver hope because the American Dream is NOT dead. The American Dream is not dead because the American Nightmare of Joe Biden and Jacky Rosen begins to end RIGHT NOW.

 

We’re not fighting for my campaign for Senate, we’re fighting OUR campaign for Nevada.

 

We don’t fight for my political movement, we fight for OUR grassroots movement.

 

And we look forward not to my election, but to OUR election.

 

We look forward to our election where we will deliver ACCOUNTABILITY to DC, where we deliver LEADERSHIP for the people, and where we give HOPE to all Americans and all Nevadans who desperately need it.

 

America, I’VE GOT YOU.

 

Duty First,
