§1On the ballot
Why this matters: This is exactly how the candidate appears on your ballot, from the state's official candidate list.
§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 for Congress in Georgia’s 6th District and wants to know what voters expect from the people they elect before he tells them what he thinks, and that Washington could use someone who audits for a living, as he has done for 30 years.6

§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.
Education
His campaign website says he would send federal education money back to the states without federal strings and shrink the federal education bureaucracy, which he describes as producing compliance work rather than better outcomes.9
- Close the department and move or end its programs
- Shrink it and give states more control over federal school money
- Keep the department and its programs, or expand it
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says Congress should pass an actual budget, fund core obligations such as defense and emergency response first, make every other program justify itself before another appropriation, and end earmarks.10
His campaign website says Congress should pass a budget through regular order rather than a continuing resolution, a last-minute omnibus bill or a midnight vote to avoid a shutdown.10
Environment and Public Lands
His campaign website says Congress should make unused federal land available for housing, with incentives for individuals rather than only large developers.11
- Transfer large areas of federal land to the states
- Sell limited amounts of federal land, such as near towns for housing
- Keep federal lands in federal ownership
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says Congress should keep lending standards honest and not repeat the loose lending of the 2000s, and says making credit easier is not the same as making housing affordable.11
His campaign website says the federal minimum wage has to clear the cost of living and keep pace with inflation, while keeping a gap between entry wages and the pay people earn by taking on more responsibility.12
Health Care
His campaign website says that if other developed countries pay a lower price for the same medication, that price should be the ceiling for what the federal government pays.13
- Leave US prices to the market and to negotiation
- Seek prices like other wealthy countries pay through deals with drug makers, without a law requiring it
- Require that Medicare and Medicaid pay no more than other wealthy countries do
- Require that all US buyers pay no more than other wealthy countries do
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he would fund law enforcement properly, including equipment, training and staffing, and not treat that funding as a bargaining chip.14
His campaign website says that where federal law governs release before trial, the standard should account for what happens when someone with a violent history is released, and that bail decisions in state courts are not controlled by Congress.14
Guns
His campaign website says he supports keeping guns away from felons and people who have shown they are a danger to others, and says a citizen with no criminal record should not have to work through a pile of red tape to buy a firearm.15
His campaign website says any red flag law must clear a high bar for due process, and that he is concerned such laws could be abused to strip a right from someone who has not been convicted of anything.15
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website says the defense debate should start with an inventory and a written readiness benchmark rather than a spending number, with funding to return to the benchmark if supplies fall below it and with defense audited like every other budget line.16
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
