What made you decide to run for U.S. Congress?
The reason I decided to run for office came from a chain of events that opened my eyes to just how far our government has drifted from the Constitution. It started during the COVID pandemic, when we watched our rights slowly stripped away under the excuse of “public safety.” Then came the 2020 election, where several states changed their election laws at the last minute, a move done without proper authority and in violation of their own constitutions. The audits and investigations that followed revealed serious irregularities that Americans have every right to question.
But the final straw was when Joe Biden shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline, destroying thousands of American jobs overnight, including opportunities for countless blue-collar families. That decision didn’t just hurt the oilfield; it hurt America’s energy independence and our working class.
I realized I couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer. I refuse to watch our government continue to erode our rights, undermine our elections, and put politics ahead of the people. That’s why I’m standing up, running for office, and fighting back, to defend the Constitution and give a voice back to the American worker.
Our Founding Fathers warned us about moments like this. In Federalist No. 51, James Madison wrote, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” But because they are not, power must always be checked and held accountable. The Anti-Federalists echoed this truth, warning that “the liberties of the people are in danger when the government no longer fears them.”
I’m running to restore that balance, to hold Washington accountable, defend our freedoms, and put the American people first once again.
