Q: What sets you apart from the other candidates?
A: I have been fighting and winning against an intrusive government for the past ten years. Other candidates speak of their aspirations for leadership, but I have backed up my words with action. Oregon needs a leaders who will fight to restore the relationship of Government in service to the people and not the other way around. Accomplishing this requires real leadership from a person who has been in the arena, delivering on solutions to complex problems. I am uniquely qualified to serve as Oregon's next Governor and the average Oregonian will see results.
Q: What are your top three priorities and plans to address them?
A: My top three priorities: 1. Restore Law and Order/ending all mandates 2. School Choice/Parents Rights 3. Election Integrity/Constitutional Lens
Q: What one accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
A: I am proud of the fact that I was able to keep my school open K-12 during the COVID closure without a single case of COVID sourced to the classroom.
Q: Why should Central Oregonians vote for you?
A: Because I am a leader not a politician, and I will ensure that land owners, ranchers, farmers, loggers and miners have access to the natural resources/water they need to maintain their heritage and way of life. In addition, I am for parent's rights, school choice, medical freedom, faith, family and individual liberty. All these are essential for a free, fair, and civil society founded on individual rights and self determination of economy and opportunity.
-I trust individual people to best manage their lives, NOT the Government.
