Friend,

Everywhere I go in this district — from struggling farm towns to fast-growing suburbs — I hear the same thing:

“We want leaders who actually understand what we’re going through.”

Not just talk about it. Not just tweet about it. Actually live it.

I’m not a party insider. I’m not a millionaire or a military contractor parachuting in to run for office.

I’m a working dad of three, a husband, a dog dad, a manufacturing engineer, and someone who got knocked down hard in life and fought like hell to get back up.

When my dad got sick with MS, we relied on Medicaid and food stamps to get by. I know what it's like to grow up without a safety net. I’ve lived through addiction, chronic pain, and poverty. Those experiences didn’t break me — they built me.

And they’ve given me a purpose: to fight for a future where no family has to go through what mine did.

That’s why I’m running for Congress.

To stop the extinction of the middle class. To uplift people out of poverty. To take on a political system that’s been bought and sold by corporations. To demand bold, economic solutions — not just more talk.

I support term limits because Congress should work for us, not for themselves. I want to overturn Citizens United so billionaires can’t buy elections. And I’ll never take a dime from corporate PACs — because I don’t answer to them. I answer to you.

We’re taking on the establishment. We’re challenging both parties to do better. And we’re doing it without a machine behind us — just real people who are ready for real change.

If you believe it’s time to elect someone who’s actually lived the struggle and has the courage to fight for the rest of us, chip in today.

This isn’t just another campaign. It’s a movement — and it’s built by people who are sick of being ignored.

In solidarity,
