His campaign website describes him as a data engineer and small business founder.3
Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he is running because the district deserves a representative who will say no to wars launched without a congressional vote, to government cameras cataloguing where people drive, to Federal Reserve inflation, to a Congress that does not balance its budget and to government executions.3 It says he believes the problem is not who is in charge but how much power those in charge have been allowed to accumulate.3

§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.
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website says the power to take the nation to war belongs to Congress, that the military conflicts since 1941 were waged under executive authority the Constitution never granted, and that there should be no more undeclared wars or blank-check authorizations.3
- Let the president order military action without needing Congress's approval
- Let the president act first, but enforce the 60-day limit and end any action Congress doesn't approve
- Require Congress to approve military action in advance, except to defend against an attack
His campaign website says he supports bringing the troops home, stopping nation-building and ending unconditional foreign aid.3
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says he supports the principle behind Rand Paul's Penny Plan, which would cut federal spending by a modest percentage across the board each year until the budget is balanced.3
- Increase overall federal spending
- Hold overall spending near current levels
- Cut overall federal spending
- Cut spending enough to balance the budget within 10 years
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says he supports auditing the Federal Reserve with full transparency.3
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says he supports the Dobbs ruling and the authority of Kansas and every other state to set abortion law through their own legislatures, and that he would oppose any federal legislation to reimpose a national abortion regime, including restoring Roe v. Wade by statute.3
- A national law making abortion legal in every state, at least until viability, as under Roe v. Wade
- Leave abortion law to each state
- A national law limiting abortion (for example, after 15 weeks of pregnancy)
His campaign website says he is pro-life and believes human life begins at conception.3
His campaign website says he would be a vote to ensure no federal tax dollars are used to fund or promote abortion, preserving and strengthening the Hyde Amendment.3
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he will advocate for abolishing the federal death penalty, citing human dignity and the risk of executing an innocent person.3
- Use it more often or for more crimes (for example, child rape or drug trafficking)
- Keep it as current law allows
- Pause executions (a moratorium)
- Abolish it
