Why did you decide to run for this office in 2025?

God called me to represent WE THE PEOPLE!

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

My vision is simple but powerful: The RRR Liberty—Repentance, Revival, and Restoration.

First, we must return to the values that have guided us for generations—principles grounded in our Constitution and our faith in God. As George Washington said, “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” We will repent, turn back to our moral compass, and seek God’s guidance in all we do.

Next, we will revive the spirit of love and unity that once made this city great. Strong, godly leadership will build programs that nurture our values, honor our faith, and create a culture of respect. We are called to unite in love, and together, we will lift this city higher.

Finally, we must move toward Restoration—healing divisions and coming together as one community. By supporting our local businesses and working toward a thriving economy, we will create a city that works for everyone, regardless of race or background.

Looking ahead, we will hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of integrity and justice, ensuring our city is a light on a hill.

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

Corruption and Accountability.

What is your position on the issue of taxpayer-funded lobbying? Please explain.

I strongly oppose taxpayer-funded lobbying. It is a corrupt practice that allows government entities to use public funds to influence legislation in their own interest, often against the will of the taxpayers who fund it. This creates an unfair advantage, where government agencies and special interests can push for policies that benefit them while everyday citizens struggle to have their voices heard. Taxpayer dollars should be used for essential public services, not to manipulate the political process. This system needs to be reformed to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in government decision-making.

Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?

I'm not bought and paid for!
I'm for WE THE PEOPLE!
