Statement

Practical Solutions for Central Washington: Central Washington deserves a representative focused on results—not culture wars or partisan games. That is why I am running for Congress. 

Affordability & Economic Security: As a retired Air Force Major with three combat deployments, I know what war costs. Working families are already struggling with rising gas prices and grocery bills, and we need to focus on lowering these costs at home instead of wasting taxpayer dollars abroad. I want to rebuild trust in labor unions, raise the federal minimum wage, and invest in infrastructure (including roads, bridges, and broadband) that creates jobs and connects communities. 

Healthcare Access: No one should have to drive 100 miles to see a doctor or go bankrupt from a medical emergency. We need to keep rural hospitals open and funded, restore ACA (Affordable Care Act) subsidies, protect Medicare and Apple Health/Medicaid, lower prescription drug costs, and increase transparency so families never face surprise medical bills. Ultimately, moving toward universal healthcare coverage should be our goal.

Agriculture & Our Economy: Central Washington's farmers feed the world, but water insecurity and rising costs threaten that. I’ll work to remove harmful tariffs, ensure the Farm Bill works for small operations, protect irrigation rights, and reform the H2A visa program. 

Defending Democracy: With 24 years of experience in the military and cybersecurity, I know it takes teamwork to keep our country and our allies safe.  I will also support banning congressional stock trading, overturning Citizens United, and imposing real ethics rules on our courts and politicians. 

Protecting our Public Lands: Public lands belong to everyone. I’ll fight against the ongoing effort to sell our public lands and protect them for future generations. We should not be making it harder for hunters, anglers, hikers, and campers to access the places they love.
