| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office. | I want to give back to my community. I am a problem solver, and I want to serve my community and represent all of my citizen's interests.

| 2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how? | Number one is maintaining the proper funding levels for law enforcement and public safety. The second is keeping the lid on government spending and taxation. |
| 3. Do you support defunding the police? | No, I fully support our men and women in blue. |
| 4. What are your thoughts on “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”? Should this be implemented as training for county/city/federal employees? Why or why not? | DEI should never be a part of any government agency and it is a discredited policy that has been found to be illegal in some instances. |

| 9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations? | If there is a legitimate issue or concern that results in a dispute, it should be addressed in a courtroom. |
| 10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town? | Our elected representatives. |
| 11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones? | I am endorsed by the Operating Engineers and every Countywide office holder in the county including the Sheriff and State's Attorney. I am also endorsed by the county Farm Bureau. Lastly, I am endorsed by McHenry SAFE PAC. |
