This is Personal

Why I decided to get involved in the shark tank of political chaos

In my first article, I told you why I am taking to SubStack as a means of more effectively communicating with my constituents, and a wider national, even global, audience. Few elected officials possess the desire to afford full transparency to a world fed up with government corruption.

It is now obvious to many that an inordinate share of elected officials become involved in politics or government for personal or professional enrichment, which leads to an individual of this type becoming compromised, controllable, and ultimately corrupt. I'm going to use this space to give you a brief glimpse into my thought process in pursuing public office for the first time.

I have been a conservative Republican as long as I can remember, watching Ronald Reagan on my console TV as a small child, voting for the first time in the infamous 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, which kept us on pins and needles with the hanging chads debacle, and raising my own five children with the same conservative, Christian values that my parents raised me with. I voted like a good little citizen, watched the right conservative news outlets, and celebrated when my candidate won, and complained, but moved on, when I was on the losing side.

Then 2020 happened, changing everything. The atrocities of the Covid scamdemic, and the obviously stolen election, shook me out of my pleasant slumber. I saw our rights and freedoms as citizens of the most amazing country in the entire world get trampled upon in the most shocking ways imaginable. Schools were shuttered, churches were empty, and tyranny was rearing its ugly head in every facet of our lives. Americans watched seemingly insurmountable leads in that year's election vanish after a lengthy pause in the vote counting process and convenient occurrences, such as water pipes bursting, occurred in the pivotal states. My own state of Arizona, which has backed exactly one Democratic presidential candidate since 1952, was called with virtually none of the vote counted, which set off the steal in the Midwest. Windows into counting rooms were covered, hundreds of thousands of ballots were found in just the right places, and the new phenomenon of candidates who hid in their basements and couldn't even string a thoughtful sentence together winning key elections began.

I never in my wildest imagination thought that I would end up running for elected office. Quite frankly, the idea of being a politician caused a feeling of acute nausea to rise in my core; however, I couldn't just stand by as my REPUBLICAN elected officials compromised and sold out their constituents, while woke ideology and Marxism continued to seep into the country I have always loved so dearly. No longer was I okay with the leftist agenda threatening to brainwash my children and compromise everything I know to be right and true.

This is why I'm here. By the grace of God, I was elected as a grassroots underdog, and as long as I carry this governmental mantle, I will continue to fight to reestablish control of our Constitutional Republic to you, the people of this great nation. Of, by, and for the people. Not of, by, and for the lobbyists. Not of, by, and for the selfish, corrupt politicians. 

My seat in LD-17 is one of the most coveted targets for my Democrat opponents, and I need your help. I am not able to operate paid subscriptions on SubStack, but would be grateful for your contribution to my campaign, which can be made here.
