My top values (for 19 years now) are Faith, Family, and Freedom. I am unapologetically Christian. God is first in my life and I believe God is the source of success in life, country, and the world. I believe the family (by God's design) is the foundation of culture and society at large. It is the breakdown of the family that has lead to the chaos in America and it will be the restoration of the family that will lead America back to the greatness that we once were. I am passionate about individual freedom. God 's purpose in my life is to \"help people be better than they ever thought they could be\". I will do that by getting the government out of their way. When we surrender ourselves to the safety, oversight, and control of a human centralized authority, we greatly reduce our potential and experience of life. God created us with free-will. It is not the governments role to take that will away from us. God-fearing, America first, family committed, and freedom fighting is how I live and how I will represent . Working with Foreign Governments and people from all over the world has taught me how important the USA is to the entire World. I have experienced it first hand. This being the case, it is imperative that we protect and secure what the USA is and the values that brought us here. For our children, our children's children, and the world-over...\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-354268-2026-01-28\" id=\"heading-key-message-354268-2026-01-28\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse-key-message-354268-2026-01-28\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-354268-2026-01-28\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tPlease list below 3 key messages of your campaign.
