Candidate Background: I’m a 4th generation rancher. I’m a committed Christian, a husband, father and I’ve operated a small heavy equipment and trucking business. I grew up learning the value of hard work cleaning horse stalls, breaking colts, and hauling square bales. I served as state president of the Oklahoma FFA Association and graduated from OSU. I was fortunate to serve Sen. Tom Coburn as his Field Representative to Southeastern OK.

My wife Kacie and I live with our four children on our ranch in Coal County.

I self-term-limited in the Oklahoma State Senate, where I stood strong against tax increases, debt, wasteful spending and CONTINUED

I led the fight against Common Core in our schools. Like my mentor, Dr. Coburn, I kept my term-limit pledge and prioritized principle over politics. I don’t and won’t play political games. I will confront them.

Winning elections means nothing if we lose our nation.

We the People must demand virtue in D.C. again. We can restore our nation but only if we elect leaders who practice selfrestraint over selfish gain, and value character over careerism. We need promise keepers not power seekers.

What are the top three messages of your campaign?

1. Drain the swamp – The federal government has evolved beyond anything the founders of our nation intended or even imagined. We must reduce Washington’s influence in our daily lives. The most effective way to do that is to pass term limits on Members of Congress.

2. Politics – The last thing we need to do is send another politician to Washington. We need statesmen who put the national interest above self interest. The most effective solution to eliminate corruption in Washington D.C. is to enact term limits. I honored my term limits pledge when I served in the State Senate and will do so again.

3. Immigration – A nation cannot exist without borders. The immigration crisis at the Southern border is a result of decades of misguided policies that neglect border security and disregard the rule of law. We must enforce the rule of law and we must build the wall at the Southern border.
