Favorite Quote:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

-Teddy Roosevelt

Priority Issues:

Education:
There is no reason that a child born in East Cleveland should have less access to quality education than a child born in Beachwood. For decades, politicians have continued to pour money into failing public schools and programs all while attempting to limit the choices that parents have over their children's education. Added to the fact that the government has forced a one-size-fits-all standardized approach to teaching and learning, much of our education system has been broken for some time. The solution is putting more power in the hands of parents and children. This means continuing to advocate for greater school choice, proper funding of charter schools that out perform traditional public schools and equipping our children with life skills rather than "teaching to the test."

Healthcare:
Healthcare costs are out of control. No one should have to go broke to get the quality care that they need. However, we must understand that more government control over your healthcare is not the answer. The healthcare industry is the most heavily regulated and subsidized industry in the country and over the past 20 years healthcare costs have increased more than any other industry in America. Yet, we are led to believe that if we just give more control to the federal government, our costs will go down. Not only has this been a disaster in countries like Venezuela, but ideas like medicare for all and universal healthcare will bankrupt the industry, destroy our quality of care and leave you holding the bill. The key to driving down healthcare costs is to allow the industry to operate more freely from the constraints of government and useless regulations. In Washington, I will advocate for healthcare reforms that are patient-centered and consumer-driven. We must open up the market to allow for greater choice and more options which in turn will lead to dramatic price reductions.

Economic Development:
I understand that our Nation's poor face many difficulties and hurdles on the road to escape poverty. However, for decades politicians have told our struggling Americans that they need a lifetime of government handouts and assistance to survive and that is simply not true. The truth is that you are far more capable of providing a great life for yourself and your children than the government is. As your congressman I will fight for policies that lower your taxes, attract new businesses that offer high paying jobs and allow you to break the chains of welfare and join America's middle class. A multi-pronged approach that puts adequate investment into workforce training, trade schools and deregulation that encourages private investment and business development will transform our struggling areas into vibrant neighborhoods.

Individual Freedom:
My campaign is centered on The Great American Idea, that all individuals are free to control their own lives and make their own decisions without government interference. Whether it is our right to bear arms, religious freedoms or freedom of speech, our government exists to protect our rights, not infringe on them. I am a firm believer that The American People are more than capable of running their own lives and making life choices that are best for themselves. I will work to return power back to where it belongs, with the people.

Restoring Love and Respect:
Our society is divided. There is no way around it. Politically and culturally our country is fragmented and the resulting tensions are growing greater by the day. With the talking heads on television yelling over each other on a nightly basis and keyboard warriors on social media sending nasty tweets at anyone who disagrees with them, it is easy to get bogged down in the madness. It has become so easy to hate. I want you to know, that whether you are a republican, democrat or anything in between, I love and respect you as a fellow American and want to work with you to make this country a better place to live for all of us. We might not always see eye to eye, but that's okay. We must always allow for the free exchange of ideas and know that each one of us simply wants to live happy and healthy lives. Even if I don't earn your vote, I hope you will join me on the campaign to stop this hate and learn to love one another regardless of our political differences.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

America was founded on the idea that each individual should dictate their own life and destiny. This idea has led to the most prosperous and free society that the world has ever seen, yet we are facing a relentless assault from those who wish to undermine our founding and strip us of the very freedoms that allow us to live independent and meaningful lives. Our government is rapidly expanding into every avenue of life and the only thing that can stop it is the voice of the people demanding freedom, demanding liberty, demanding better.

The time has come for new voices and fresh ideas. I may have an (R) next to my name, but first and foremost I am an American, an Ohioan, and a Clevelander. I understand what it means to be in debt, to pay the rent and live paycheck to paycheck. These are just some of the problems that everyday Americans face and the last thing we need is the government meddling in our lives. I believe that a mother should decide where her child goes to school, not the federal government. I believe a senior citizen should make healthcare decisions that are best for them, not the federal government. I believe that YOU, the individual, should have control over your own life.

I do not care if you are a Democrat, Independent, Republican or Libertarian, I will always fight for your right to live free and make your own decisions. America is at a crossroads, seemingly more divided than ever. If we are to move forward as a nation we must learn to love and respect one another, regardless of our political disagreements. Please join me as I work to heal this country and fight for the great people of Ohio?s 11th district.
