Why are you running?

I'm running for Congress because I believe we can't afford to wait ... as a district or a country.

Our leaders are doubling down on their failed policies of increased spending, higher taxes, and more regulations, which has only made our economy worse.

Washington, D.C. needs fewer professional politicians and more individuals with real-world business experience working together to mend America.

My agenda is a simple one: Get our national economy back on track and get our district back to work.
