PLEASE help me stop this chaos

We can flip this seat   Well, John, it happened again. Jim Jordan lost his third bid to become Speaker.  It's getting a bit comical at this point. As of now, we are: No closer to providing vital asssitance for Ukraine and Israel, not to mention providing humanitarian assistance…

We aren't out of the woods yet

MAGA extremism still runs rampant   Hi John, it looks like the MAGA extremists in Washington finally got their act together. It probably won't last too long. We're less than 40 days from a perilous government shutdown and the world around us is on fire.  My opponent, radical ext…

My position on Israel

I'll always tell you exactly where I stand   Hi John, I'm not like most politicians.  I don't shy away from the tough issues and I'm always going to be crystal clear where I stand. No doublespeak. No politician's lingo. I stand firmly behind Israel's right to exist and defend it…

It's not easy typing with your paws

Arf arf arf   Hi John, it's Comet (Kurt's dog). To answer the burning question on everyone's mind: yes, it is very difficult to type with paws.  I get it done for Kurt, though, because I know how hard he's working for us. Despite the hours of calling supporters, knocking on door…

Palm meet forehead

The craziness in Washington never stops   Well, they're at it again, John. The Chaos Party, led by extremists like David Schweikert, have brought us to a new national low by kicking Kevin McCarthy out as Speaker.   This is just another continuation of the radicalization of the G…

the one yard line

  John, we have just under 7 hours left until our FEC filing deadline. It's like being on the one yard line and we're so close to scoring a touchdown.  We're only $1,875 from our quarterly fundraising goal and I sure could use your help to push us over that line.  Scoring a tou…

Stop the crazy

Too extreme for this district

  John, I'm running for Congress because I'm fed up with the extremism and inaction of leaders like David Schweikert.  He votes 93% of the time the same as Marjorie Taylor-Greene, cementing himself as another MAGA extremist.  His campaign is funded by Kevin McCarthy, the NRA a…
