I’m running for Congress because I love our country and believe we need leaders who put service above self.

My own journey began in the U.S. Navy, where I spent four years serving our nation. The Navy brought me to San Diego County, and like so many other veterans, I chose to stay and call this incredible place home.

The military taught me lessons that guide me to this day—teamwork, responsibility, and the belief that we never leave anyone behind. It’s about “us,” not “me.” That mindset is what makes America strong, and it’s what I’ll bring to Washington.

Southern California is home to one of the largest veteran communities in the nation. I’ve seen firsthand the incredible work of local organizations supporting our veterans and their families. I want to ensure that our government reflects the same commitment—to care for those who have sacrificed for our freedom, and to keep our country strong for the next generation.

I’m ready to fight for our community and for the values I learned while serving: integrity, accountability, and putting people first.

I hope to earn your support.
