§2Who they are

Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Why they say they're running

His campaign website says he is running to make representatives accountable to the people, proposing that constituents vote on each bill through an app and that he would vote as they direct, with results they can check in real time.2 It describes the campaign as a long-term effort to change how representatives answer to voters, not only a bid to win a seat.2

Websites and accounts

§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Elections and Government Reform

Term limits for Congress

His campaign website calls for term limits and new leadership, pointing to the growth of the national debt under long-serving politicians.2

Foreign Policy and Defense

Foreign aid

His campaign website says no foreign aid should be sent to any country until the national debt is paid off.2

  1. Restore or increase foreign aid, including programs cut in 2025
  2. Keep foreign aid near its current level
  3. Cut foreign aid further or end most of it
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Taxes and Budget

Federal spending levels

His campaign website says Washington has run up debt at taxpayers' expense and that the country should stop passing debt on to future generations.2

§4Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
