Have you ever run for elected office?

Why did you choose to run for office now?

We must stand firm in the face of evil and call on others to reject the so called “progressive” ideology that is devouring California. The 32nd District deserves bold and authentic representation that will unapologetically stand in that gap.

What do you see as your priorities as a candidate in this race?

Keeping Bakersfield and the 32nd district a shining light in the darkness of California. From the hard working towns of Tulare, Visalia, and Ridgecrest to our beautiful mountain communities of Tehachapi, Lake Isabella, and Frazier Park, we must remain true to our Christian conservative values. Los Angeles and San Francisco may set the values and policies of our state at large, but we should never allow their lawless ideology to consume our children, families, churches, schools, businesses and communities. We are the Bible Belt of California and we must call this state and its leaders to repentance. God gave us this great state and God will take it away if we do not turn and put our trust in Him.

What do you feel are the main issues facing the district?

The tragic increase in homelessness, mental health challenges, crime, abortion, substance abuse, overdose deaths, suicide, debt, corruption, government overreach, suffocating business regulation and inflation are all bi-products of wicked state and federal policies. The root cause must be acknowledged and addressed. Leaders who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Godless men who answer only to their own subjective morality. We must seek God’s will in all of our ways and allow Him to heal our land.

”If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.“ -JESUS

Do you accept donations?

No, but I would humbly ask for your prayer and support.

What message would you share with people considering voting for you?

There are no political solutions to spiritual problems. We must first change hearts and minds. The only message that can truly give a new heart with new desires is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Send me to Sacramento to be a voice in the minority, crying out, make straight the way for the Lord!
