Get StartedI aim to champion reform programs, emphasizing drug rehabilitation for incarcerated individuals. Simultaneously, I will advocate for a balanced approach, urging judges to carefully assess the risk before releasing individuals, reducing the chances of them committing further crimes shortly after release. I strongly support the enforcement of a ‘3 strikes and you’re out’ clause. Additionally, I propose comprehensive mental health services, ensuring that all inmates undergo screenings for mental health issues. Learn more
Furthermore, I seek to collaborate with a nonprofit veteran center to establish a clinic/office in the South Valley and specifically in District 12, enhancing accessibility to essential services for our veterans. Learn more
I am dedicated to expanding opportunities and options for veterans and their services. Recognizing that many veterans do not currently utilize or prefer not to use VA services, I am committed to advocating for veteran services and amplifying their voices. Learn more
I am committed to boosting the economy and rejuvenating District 12 by offering incentives that attract both new and local businesses to the South Valley, fostering economic growth. Introducing innovative programs for the homeless is a priority, aiming to reintegrate them into society and empower them to regain self-sufficiency. For those facing mental health challenges, support will be provided through local nonprofits, and if needed, I will actively encourage nonprofits to establish offices in District 12. Learn more
I aim to implement a voucher program in District 12, providing families with educational options for their students. Recognizing the challenges in public schools—such as overcrowding, overextended teachers, and reliance on assistants for instruction—I propose a two-fold approach. Firstly, I advocate for a comprehensive revamp of public schools, channeling funds into upgrades and additional classrooms to address the issue of overpopulation. Secondly, I propose a shift towards zero-scape landscaping in schools, redirecting resources currently used for daily and weekly landscaping towards vital areas such as school programs, classrooms, educational materials, after-school tutors, and the modernization of libraries.

Having served as a veteran, I dedicated myself to defending the constitution and our fundamental rights, with a particular emphasis on the 2nd amendment. It is unacceptable for anyone to attempt to infringe on these rights. As your prospective District 12 Representative, I am unwavering in my commitment to continue the fight for these essential rights. Learn more
I strongly advocate for healthcare decisions to be a private matter between the doctor and patient, free from political interference. Recognizing the link between mental health issues and homelessness, I am dedicated to making mental health care accessible to everyone. Learn more
I envision establishing a food pantry in District 12 to address household food shortages. The creation of community gardens will ensure the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables for our communities. It’s disheartening that many families, especially when children return home for the weekend, face insufficient or no food at all. Learn more
