Current Car:

2004 Ford Taurus. ALWAYS a FORD. Ford showed it's true red, white and blue by not taking government handouts in order to succeed.

Favorite Movie:

The Right Stuff. We need more of what made America great!

Favorite President and Why:

President Ronald Reagan. He made America strong again.

Personal Hero and Why:

My parents, for teaching me right from wrong. My sister Annie who showed me that if you fight hard enough you'll overcome anything as she fought of cancer (lymphoma) three times.

Priority Issues:

1. Working to restore the dollar by eliminating the Federal Reserve and putting control of U.S. currency in the hands of Congress, not private individuals.
2. Work to remove & revoke the power of un-Constitutionally appointed czars. They are a blatant circumvention of the Constitution and must be removed from any power.
3. Work to eliminate the EPA. Again, with the Dept. of Energy already in place, there's no need for the over-reaching government regulations put out by the EPA that also circumvent the Congress.
4. Restore jobs and American pride by bolstering the U.S. space program and aerospace industry (our greatest export).

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I want our children and generations to come to have the same opportunities in life that I had growing up. From a responsible, accountable government to national defense to energy independence, my message is about preserving opportunity for America's hard working men and women.

If we truly desire change in Washington, change starts with 'The People'. Until we embrace liberty, economic prosperity and individual responsibility our government will not change for us.

Ohioans and all Americans do not deserve to have their futures hang in the balance of a politician?s ladder climbing career. That's not a good way to rally 'The People' around the GOP.

I stand ready to fight and advocate for the success of our diverse nation and preserve opportunity for ourselves and our children.
