Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? I am the only candidate in this race that presents an obstacle to the globalist agenda and the military industrial complex. We must negotiate peaceful resolutions to existing conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, as well as future conflicts, if we are to avoid the historical fate of all militaristic expansionary empires and instead lead the world in freedom and prosperity. I will always support a laissez-faire approach to economics including ending the Federal Reserve’s power to throw our economy into chaos through mismanagement and abuse of the money supply and interest rates. Our political system has been dominated by a duopoly that stifles true representation and choice. Both major parties have contributed to the erosion of our liberties, endless wars, and the expansion of government control. It is time to break free from this two-party stranglehold and offer real solutions that empower individuals and respect our freedoms. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Removing the federal tax burden on Oregonians to fund endless wars that only favor the military industrial complex and special interests. Returning local control to the states. The federal government is operating far out of bounds of its constitutional authority and should be confined to Section 1 Article 8. Rescinding the War Powers Act and supporting the states in the Defend the Guard Act. Reducing inflation by firmly capping the debt ceiling and reducing foreign aid spending.

A country for my children and grandchildren where they are free to pursue their dreams within a truly free market. Where government corruption and special interests have been pushed out and they live in an actualized representative republic. Where they can sell a ham to a neighbor without having the full weight of the administrative state come down on them. A country our forefathers imagined possible, existing in the modern age.

Inflation and national debt. We are 35 trillion dollars in debt and curbing the bloated administrative state is a priority. What are your thoughts on term limits? I am in support of term limits.
