KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office.

A. im running to bring the traditional vales that resonate in my community to Washington, rather than have the progressive Washington values forced upon our communities as they slowly destroy the fabric of family and community.
B.I am a leader that will provide a leadership roll in Washington that will support reducing Inflation, closing our boarders, stop funding wars and I will be advocating for limited goverment, paticuliarly to education.

2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how?

A.Most issues are related to the open border and I would immediately act to support closing the border and allowing only vetted immagrants to enter the country. Crime, inflation and lack of affordable housing are tethered to the boarder.
B. The woke culture is brainwashing children and the chinese commun ist party is funding these agendas through dark money pacs. therfore, I would advocate stopping the programs including DEI, LGBTQ in schools, men invading womens privacy ect. which are all ment to act as a divisive culture war.

3. Do you support defunding the police?

the police should be funded to a greater extent. currently, they are paying out of lawsuits from a legal system that has been weaponized to support wokness. These funds could be invested into training and having more educated, trained police that are on the streets and interacting with the community. further more police on the strrets equals less crime.

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?

I dont support any of these programs and would be an advocate to irradicate them from our educational, municiple and corporate enviorments.

5. With growing pressure to accommodate various lifestyles/identities how would you manage to keep your city/town safe and family friendly?

we need insirational leaders that can unify the reasonable ideologies that we all share without segmenting the aggrieved. further, we can defund the propoganda programs.

6. Do you think involving residents in decision making in your city/town is important? Why or not?

its important that the community has a voice in the public space. However, the community shouldnt have a voice extending into their neighbors homes. parents and families need complete autonomy from community withon the home and raising children.

7. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city/town/county any way you wanted, what would you do with it and why?

invest in the struggling area of the 10th district to support, children, batter women, veterans and food deserts.

8. What is your opinion on sanctuary cities/autonomous zones within your city/town?

they should not exist

9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations?

I fought against all mandates and believe it was a gross governmental overreach. they decimated generationally owned, community businesses that profited big box that donate to pacs.

10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town?

illinois public health department, Lake county health Department and the city council and Mayor.

11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones?

I have been endorsed by many pro life, pro family local organizations, and candidates as i am the conservative in the race.

12. Do you support making laws to protect life keeping in mind there are many views on what this means?Yes
