Candidate For
US Congressional District OH-06
Trained by the military to always be above politics, I am now choosing to run because it feels like our Republic is on the brink of collapse or breaking bad. Looking through history, wealth gaps destroy societies. The US currently has the largest wealth gap in its history. Thus, my main goal is to close this gap and restore the American Dream.
