Why I Want To Run

Since high school I have always considered a career in politics. Probably after having a successful career in business, and accomplishing all of the career goals I have set in place. However, the incredible travesty that is Washington has made me believe that if something is not done by the youth of America now, there will be no future where those goals can be attained.

My belief is in the continued national sovereignty of the United States. That the citizens of this nation are entitled representatives that believe in the excellence of America, and do everything in their power to empower the people to succeed and and grow both intellectually and financially. I also believe that the role of government in everyday life should be limited, and  the overreaching by the Federal government should be eliminated. Immediately.

This is the foundation of my platform and political convictions. I feel it necessary to list my position on many of these issue since there is an inability by our politicians to articulate exactly where they stand on them
