I’m running for State Representative in Michigan’s 36th District to put people before politics and restore trust in local leadership. My mission is to stand up for the families, farmers, workers, and small businesses that form the backbone of St. Joseph and Cass Counties. I will fight for strong schools, safe communities, and smart investments that prepare our region for the future—without forgetting the values that built it. This campaign is about service, not self-interest. It’s time to bring common-sense, community-first representation back to Lansing
I’m running for office because I believe in personal responsibility, limited government, and protecting the freedoms that define our American way of life. As a Republican, I stand for strong families, safe communities, and fiscal responsibility.
I believe government should work for the people—not the other way around. That means cutting waste, defending constitutional rights, and keeping decision-making close to home, where we know what our communities need most.
Faith, family, and freedom aren’t just talking points—they’re the foundation of how I live and how I lead. I’m committed to protecting traditional values, encouraging job growth, supporting law enforcement, and ensuring that our children inherit a country worth fighting for.
