Have you ever been arrested, charged with a crime or otherwise been part of a criminal proceeding? If yes, please explain: No

Have you been involved in a civil lawsuit or bankruptcy proceeding? If yes, please explain: No

Who are your top three campaign contributors?: My wife, she is the most supportive wife I could ever ask for. My campaign manager Ashton Ramos is sacrificing so much for this, its truly humbling. After that there are 2 many patriots to mention. So many from Denton, Cooke & Wise counties have supported us beyond what we could have imagined.

Why are you seeking this office?: I’ve chosen to run for this office because We the People were intended to have a voice in our House. We should be free, our kids should be free. Our current political class will not sacrifice their lives, their vast fortunes, or their remaining honor to protect our freedom & liberty.

I’m running because I felt prompted to do so, truly against my will. However, “those who seek to save their life will lose it, but those who lose their life for My sake, will find it.” – Matt 16:25

What are the biggest challenges facing your district?: Election integrity & the invasion on the southern border. To combat that I propose the following:

Election Integrity Act- All federal elections will be conducted with voter picture ID standards proving citizenship. All federal elections will be on a separate paper ballot that can be traced & hand counted if needed. All forms of voting other than in person voting must be notarized & be accompanied by a copy of the voter’s picture ID.

Border Act- The length of the southern US border will have a significant & imposing border wall or more substantial barrier to restrict & reduce the illegal immigration crisis. All border crossings will be substantially guarded. Processing centers will be located on the southern side of the border wall or barrier. No NGO or other forms of well fair or non-profit organizations will have access to the immigrants until after they are cleared to enter by the relevant authorities & can be allowed into our sovereign country.

What would your top 3 policy priorities be?: Term Limits Act- Term limits will be passed as a constitutional amendment limiting the length an individual can serve in elected office. These limits will be: 8 years for the office of the president, 10 years for a congressional seat, 12 years for a senator & a total combined 20 year limit for any & all federal elected offices.

As well as the Election Integrity Act & Border Act that I’ve already stated.

Why should voters choose you over your opponent(s)?: The thing that separates me from the other candidates is that I actually don’t want this job.

Like many of you I am a conservative. What does this mean? It means we want a few things in life, we want our families, our jobs, our churches, a bunch of guns & to be left alone. None of us want to go to the swamp if we’re honest.

However, for too long we’ve elected people who desire to have power, who want control over us. It is time to elect people who want to restrain & limit their own power & the power of the government. We need different people in DC, but more than that we need different motivations & reasons for going to DC.

“If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19

What should Congress do to combat inflation?: Budget Act- Congress shall pass an amendment requiring a balanced budget. This act will also remove the budgetary standard that has been known as base line budgeting to prevent out of control spending from reoccurring. Base line budgeting is the standard where today’s spending limit is tomorrow’s spending expectation, aka today’s ceiling is tomorrow’s floor.

How should the federal government change COVID policy to reflect the omicron variant outbreak?: Start by firing Dr “I’m Science” Fuaci.

Then enact my proposal:

Pandemic Act- In the event a pandemic or other transmissible disease is found to be present globally & within our sovereign borders, the rights & freedoms granted to us by our Creator & numerated in the Constitution shall not be infringed or restricted in any way. This is to include the freedoms to conduct business, to worship, to communicate about the disease, to protect ourselves, to treat, cure & medically fight the disease as free & independent citizens. It is the required that the government provide ALL findings & information related to the disease with in a 2 week period of time after having learned of, gathered, discovered or in any way become aware of details related to the disease so that the citizens may make our own informed & educated decisions on how to best proceed with our liberties & lives.

Should Congress enact a vaccine mandate for workplaces?: No. Period. Never. In fact those who have mandated vaccines & have enforced negative consequences to their employees should be held accountable for them. If you have been fired because you didn’t want to take this experimental drug, you should have every opportunity to sue the employer. I have not & will not take the drug others call a vaccine.

How should the federal government respond to high levels of illegal immigration? Do you support changes in asylum policy, and if so, how would you alter it?:. Border Act- The length of the southern US border will have a significant & imposing border wall or more substantial barrier to restrict & reduce the illegal immigration crisis. All border crossings will be substantially guarded. Processing centers will be located on the southern side of the border wall or barrier. No NGO or other forms of well fair or non-profit organizations will have access to the immigrants until after they are cleared to enter by the relevant authorities & can be allowed into our sovereign country.

Discussing any form of immigration policy or what to do with those that are already here is secondary & frankly futile until we can control our border.

Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election fairly?: Absolutely not. Most voted for president in history..... not even people on the left can say that with a straight face.

What voting-rights legislation or other election regulation would you support?: Election Integrity Act- All federal elections will be conducted with voter picture ID standards proving citizenship. All federal elections will be on a separate paper ballot that can be traced & hand counted if needed. All forms of voting other than in person voting must be notarized & be accompanied by a copy of the voter’s picture ID.

We must believe & we must know that we know who is duly elected & that the election was fair for all involved.
