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? Americans deserve the truth. I'll provide them an objective, honest look. Political money laundering has destroyed politics. I've investigated it, personally. It's why I've decided to run. I've never been a politician, I'm an investigator. I'm accountable to the people of Wisconsin, not private interests or super PACs. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Election integrity & political money laundering Civil rights & criminal justice reform Balancing the budget Ensuring border security Stopping endless wars Holding government officials and their partners accountable for crimes Restore Constitutional restrictions on government Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? My childhood sports hero was Nolan Ryan. He is an outspoken Christian and I loved his tenacity and fearlessness for the game. A US Senator, I look up to Rand Paul, who is a Junior Senator from Kentucky. He is a no-nonsense, outspoken Christian man who isn't afraid to ruffle party feathers and isn't afraid to speak truth to power. I voted for his father in 2012. The person I looked up to the most overall was my dad, Michael Corrigan. He worked on the Canadian National Railroad for 39 years. He is where I developed my work ethic and faith in God to direct out path in life. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? The Bible, The Case for Christ What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, integrity, accountability, selflessness & humility. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude and knowledge, integrity, accountability to the voters & being a savvy investigator What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Integrity, decisiveness, accountability, selflessness and humility. What legacy would you like to leave? Faith, freedom & liberty for generations to come. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? 9/11 happened when I was a senior in high school at SPASH. I was in a Technology class and someone who came in late turned on the tv and yelled for everyone to watch. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My first job was at Culver's when I was 14 in Stevens Point, WI. I worked there for 6 months. What is your favorite book? Why? The Case for Christ By Lee Strobel This is the book that crushed the doubts I had about the existence of Christ. It changed my life forever. Pastor Brian Berg (Retired) of Woodlands Church provided me with this book, and it changed my life in 2008. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? J.J. \"Jake\" Gittes What was the last song that got stuck in your head? Get Up, by Shinedown What is something that has been a struggle in your life? My weight. I've lost over 230 lbs. since Labor Day 2022. I went from 441 pounds on Labor Day 2022 to 210 lbs. by Christmas 2023. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Debt, election integrity, border security, partisanship and the constant use of fear to rob citizens of their common sense and manipulate them. What are your thoughts on term limits? Term limits are needed 2 terms in the senate & 4 terms in the house. What qualities does the U.S. Senate possess that makes it unique as an institution? It can confirm or deny presidential appointments as well as bind treaties with the force of law. They also hold the trial for any impeachment proceedings and have the power to remove presidents from office with a 2/3 majority vote. Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics? No. Politicians have become too complacent and sped too much time out of the public sector. They've forgotten who they work for. They need to do more with less, like the private sector and small business owners do. What do you think of the filibuster? It's a valuable tool to make sure that legislation is passed by more than just a simple majority. The filibuster was created to ensure bipartisan legislation would be passed and that any legislation that passed stood the test of debate and arguments by more than just a simple majority. Essentially, it was designed to ensure teamwork and comprimise. Is there a particular senator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Rand Paul Tell us your favorite joke. A robber held up a well-dressed man, pointing his gun and yelling, “Give me all your money!” The man replied, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a U.S. congressman!” The robber retorted, “In that case, give me all my money!” How would you evaluate a judicial nominee? Based on their professional decisions, public statements, history of fairness in all different types of cases and their personal/ professional integrity on and off the bench. What kind of relationships would you build with other senators? Professional and uniting as well as investigatory Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? Yes How should the U.S. Senate use its investigative powers? Far more with the use of elected officials, not appointed officials. The senate doesn't seem to want to investigate, other than political purposes. The senators need to start investigating what the people want, not whatever the current political hot potato is. I don't salivate at a party whistle, like Pavlov's dog. If it needs investigating, I'll investigate it. What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees to their Cabinet? Trustworthiness, ethics, character, conflicts of interest, professional reputation & accomplishments/ complainants, credentials & work history/ expertise\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
