Integrity is paramount to me. I have served in some of the most stressful and difficult conditions imaginable, and my integrity has always been my compass. When I make a promise, I keep it. If a roadblock prevents me from accomplishing a goal, I will be the first to tell you why and what my plan is to overcome it.

I believe Americans are ready for a representative with real-world leadership and a record of accomplishment. This campaign is no different from any challenge I've faced before: once I set my mind to a goal, I will do everything in my power to achieve it.

I will not be a representative who hides. I will be visible, I will listen to the people I serve, and I will go to Washington to fight for what is right, not for what is easy.

My 26 years of service in the Air Force provided me with vital experience working within our federal government. I have met countless patriotic people who are dedicated to our country. However, the truth is our federal government has become so bloated and wasteful that it is failing to deliver on the needs of the American people.

We have reached a critical point. It is time to make our government live up to the promises of the Constitution. I am committed to correcting the mistakes of the past and forging a new path that guarantees opportunity for all.

An Economy for Northwest Ohio

As we see a surge of investment in American companies, we must ensure these generational opportunities reach the families and businesses of Northwest Ohio. We need leadership in Washington that will fight to bring these jobs here and create policies that generate even more opportunities in our community.

Empowering Small Business

The backbone of our economy is small business—the single largest employer of Americans. The federal government's policies should empower these businesses, not hinder them. It is time to remove unnecessary regulatory barriers and lower taxes to allow our entrepreneurs to thrive.

Protecting Our Family Farms

The viability of family farms is essential to our way of life. We must put an end to policies that unfairly benefit large corporate farming operations. The current regulatory environment is often too burdensome for family farms, giving larger corporations an unfair advantage. I will champion policies that level the playing field and ensure our family farms can continue to feed our nation.

Supporting Families and Local Education

The federal government must support families by ensuring parents have the final say in their children's upbringing and education. Parents are a child's most important advocate. Education should be a local issue, giving parents the influence they need over school curriculum and activities.

Fiscal Responsibility

We must end wasteful federal spending. I pledge to you that I will work every day to ensure our government prioritizes America's needs and puts us on a path to paying down our national debt.
