What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? To keep our government from collaborating with Big Tech and social media to censor and spy on the American people and first amendment rights. A pullback on all regulations that are making near impossible for American farmers and ranchers from doing their jobs. To stop the coercive tactics of ESG and diversity inclusive departments. Duplicity of Federal and State departments that are redundant and costing Americans more in taxes. Abolish the department of Education and send it back to the state. Let the money follow the student and let the schools compete for extra money by how children score on testing. Build the border wall and protect our country from the invasion of illegals. Stop the regulatory capture of the health care industry and pharmaceutical industries. Stop the Emergency Prep Act that protects the industry from bad vaccines and practices. Change the presidential emergencies act. For far too long it has been used as a power grab. I'd like to make it where the House and Senate have to vote and see if it's an actual emergency. I'd also like to put a year time limit on emergencies. We are still under emergencies that Jimmy Carter enacted. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? My name's sake Ronald Reagan. I love his wit, intelligence, sense of humor, unifying ability, and ideas on government. He was truly an iconic figure and I hope to be like him because at this moment in history I feel like we need leadership like him! Reagan said, \"Control your government or it will control you.\" Our government has become too big and overreaching and interfering in our lives in ways that our founding fathers would find abhorrent. He also said, \"We’re in danger of creating a permanent culture of poverty as inescapable as any chain or bond; a second and separate America, an America of lost dreams and stunted lives.” The ways our laws are written now we are incentivizing broken American families and for people never to get off the system. He was a great man with an even greater insight, and I am truly blessed to be named after him. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Integrity and representing the people and not Corporation, Big Tech, or Big Pharma. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I'm a hard worker that believes in fighting for the everyday American. I never give up and want to see everyone do the best they can. What legacy would you like to leave? To make the world a better place where people don't have to struggle to make a living. A place where we truly have freedom and liberty. A place where all communities are safe. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? I was 21 when 9/11 happened. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? I worked at Red-Food grocery store when I was 16 for a year. What is your favorite book? Why? The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It's so simple and sweet. It's poignant and puts life into perspective. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Losing our status as the Reserve World Currency. We will default on our debts and because of printing out more and more money, we will have hyperinflation. Our government will not be able to function with the 400+ government agencies and massive spending of all the government programs. What are your thoughts on term limits? They are desperately needed to prevent career politicians from endlessly buying elections and not addressing the concerns of their constituents. Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics? It can be useful in terms of knowing the inner workings of agencies and their corresponding bureaucracies to implement useful legislation to address problems. However, our current legislature and the bureaucracies they have conceded authority to do not show much interest in solving problems. If anything they seem to pursue the creation of new problems or making previously existing problems worse. We have had career politicians controlling policy in this country for a very long time and it has not yielded good results for the American people. There is so much corruption throughout our government that anyone who is extremely experienced with government work they are either useless to fixing the problems or they are an essential component to these problems. What do you think of the filibuster? Unless someone is bringing useful information, then they shouldn't be able to drag out a vote. How would you evaluate a judicial nominee? Their adherence to the law. Not pushing their own agenda. What kind of relationships would you build with other senators? Even if you have opposing views, you must be congenial and persuasive if you want to accomplish anything. You have to face people with truth and facts. What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees to their Cabinet? Someone who is just and fair. Someone who care about doing what is right rather than pushing their personal agenda.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
