John, it’s John.

We’ve reached a dark moment in America: Shortages of baby formula. Skyrocketing food prices. Looming recession.

It’s times like these that truly test the mettle of leadership. I know - I’ve experienced it firsthand during my time overseas. 

It was zero three hundred hours, and I was given the impossible task of locating and providing reinforcements to a unit that was heavily under fire in Baghdad.

The scene on the ground was CHAOS - an active firefight under a shroud of darkness. 

But thanks to my Ranger school training, I understood the fear, the confusion, and exactly what was happening on the ground, allowing us to neutralize the threat quickly.

Right now, our “leaders” are doing the opposite. They’re amplifying the chaos, retreating from the mission, and abandoning the people who need their help.

Relevant experience. Calm under pressure. Service before self. That’s how I led as a soldier and exactly how I’ll lead as a Congressman.

As a pilot and a man of faith, I know I can guide us out of this dark moment - will you answer the call to help me do it?

Thank you,

John James
