Why did you decide to run for this office in 2024?

I feel it is necessary to have an option outside of the two-party system that represent the values of individual liberty, free markets, and limited government and who can come to the office with the new insight that a Millenial can provide. I want to end wars abroad and support freedom at home.

If elected, what will be your top three priorities in office?

Balancing the federal budget by cutting spending to curb the primary driver of inflation, our deficit and debt spending.

Ending our involvement in wars overseas. Remove ourselves from warzones and end the practice of selling arms to regimes around the world.

Solving the immigration crisis at our Southern border by creating the 21st Century Ellis Island.

What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?

Solving the student loan crisis and bringing market forces to higher education to bring down the costs.

You do this by making all loans currently backed by the Federal government (over 90%) interest free as of today so people can pay down the principle. You pair this with adding no new government backed loans and returning student loans to a private system handled by banks and other financial institutions.

Do you have any notable endorsements you would like to highlight for voters?

Jo Jorgensen 2020 Libertarian nominee for President of the United StatesWhy are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?

Voters deserve an honest and principled option outside of the false political binary of the Democrats and Republicans. In my campaign you will find policies to address the great challenges we face as a nation, rooted in the principles of individual liberty and freedom from government intrusion. If you live your life in peace, your life is your life, your body is your body, your business is your business. It's not mine and it's not the government's.
