Candidate Q&A
Why are you running?
I am running because I am tired of watching our government actively harm, and in many cases, kill our people through systemic neglect and weaponized policies.
Right now, we do not have a functioning legislature; we have a corporate subsidiary. The root cause of every crisis in our nation is a system of legalized bribery. Special interest groups, PACs, and the ultra-wealthy are explicitly buying our representatives with campaign donations. Meanwhile, those same representatives have outsourced their constitutional duties to paid consultants and lobbyists who actually write the legislation.
I’m running because no other candidate is calling out this baseline corruption. They come to voters with empty slogans like “I’ll fight for you” or “Medicare for All,” but when you look under the hood, they have no strategic plan to actually execute those promises. If they have the most “experience,” why can’t they give you a detailed strategy? We cannot afford the same type of politicians who ask for your vote but answer to their donors.
I am an HR professional. For 13 years, my job has been to design, build, and manage complex employee benefits and navigate federal regulations. I am running to execute a hostile takeover of a corrupt system. I am not coming to the voters with slogans; I am coming with a fully cited business proposal and an airtight strategy available on my website.
My stance is absolute: to fix this country, we must explicitly ban all PACs, ban paid lobbyists, and ban the ultra-wealthy from buying our elections. Until we sever the financial umbilical cord between Wall Street and Washington, nothing changes. I have the strategic plan to do it, and I am running to enforce it.
What do you think is the most pressing issue facing your constituents and how do you plan on addressing it?
When an HR professional conducts a Root Cause Analysis on the crises facing District 7, whether it’s failing infrastructure, lack of healthcare, or economic stagnation, every single issue traces back to the exact same root cause: our government has been bought. The most pressing issue facing my constituents isn’t a single policy; it is the systemic, legalized bribery of our representatives. We are suffering from total “vendor capture,” where the ultra-wealthy, PACs, and paid Lobbyists write the laws, and the voters pay the price.
My plan to address this is a zero-tolerance policy. We must explicitly ban all PACs, ban paid lobbyists, and ban the ultra-wealthy from buying our elections, shifting entirely to publicly funded elections.
How do we actually achieve this? By educating and mobilizing a cross-partisan coalition of voters nationwide. The data is undeniable: 72% of Americans want to ban PACs and paid lobbyists. This includes 71% of Republicans and 76% of Democrats. Even Donald Trump recognized and weaponized this populist anger in 2016 when he promised to “drain the swamp.” The American people are begging for an end to the corruption, but Washington politicians on both sides refuse to act because they are cashing the checks.
My strategy is to bypass the bought-and-paid-for party leadership and take this data directly to the people. I will use my platform to educate voters across the nation on exactly how this financial machinery works, breaking down complex corruption into everyday realities. We cannot afford to elect politicians who are funded by the problem; we must elect leaders who are entirely funded by, and accountable to, the people.
What is one unique challenge your district faces and how do you plan to address it?
The most unique challenge District 7 faces is systemic market failure caused by decades of historic redlining. The free market has abandoned parts of our district, resulting in food deserts, healthcare shortages, and crumbling infrastructure. As a systems and compliance expert, I don’t see this as just a social issue; I see it as a massive administrative failure that is actively draining our local economy.
My plan is a targeted resource injection. If corporate grocery chains refuse to serve our taxpayers, we will use federal funds to establish government-owned, community-run grocery stores to correct that market failure. We will leverage federal health grants to build non-profit medical clinics, and we will aggressively pull down federal infrastructure dollars to rebuild our neighborhoods. This isn’t charity; it is an economic turnaround plan. By correcting these baseline market failures, we immediately create local union jobs, lower crime through economic stabilization, and build a localized economy that actually works for the people who live here.
What do you think federal immigration reform should look like?
As a Senior HR Professional with over 13 years of experience managing complex systems, I view federal immigration through the lens of operational integrity. Simply ‘abolishing’ an agency is insufficient; we must address a fundamental culture of non-compliance and fiscal waste.
The Immigration Audit: ICE and CBP have become ‘toxic departments.’ Their current model prioritizes community destabilization over the mission of national security. I advocate for the abolishing these agencies in their current form.
We are witnessing a catastrophic breach of the Constitutional Oath of Office. When federal agents treat American citizens as enemy combatants, as seen in the tragic, preventable deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, they are in violation of Article III, Section 3 (Levying War). Furthermore, the recent demands by the Attorney General to seize state voter rolls in exchange for federal cooperation constitute extortion under Article II, Section 4.
We cannot wait for a standard ‘performance review’ (the next election) when leadership is actively harming the the People. I support:
Vacating the Chair: Utilizing House Rule IX to elect a Speaker committed to Constitutional defense.
Impeachment & Succession: Executing the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 to install leadership that adheres to the law.
I will demand maximum penalties and permanent ‘debarment’ from federal service for any agent who violates civil rights.
How should Congress address the rising costs of health care?
As an HR professional with 13 years of experience managing multi-million dollar benefit portfolios, I don’t see healthcare as a partisan debate, I see it as a systemic failure of fiduciary duty.
The United States currently operates the most expensive, least efficient healthcare ‘department’ in the world. The only reason we lack universal, high-quality care is due to administrative bloat and captured leadership. Our Congress is prioritizing the dividends of their donors over the health of the American People.
We must immediately terminate the billions in ‘tax expenditures’ and subsidies handed to profitable insurance corporations. We can fund a comprehensive single-payer system simply by recapturing the 25-30% administrative waste currently siphoned off by private intermediaries.
Corporations that report record profits while their employees rely on Medicaid are essentially ‘stealing’ from the public payroll. I propose a Healthcare Integrity Fee on the 1% to offset public costs.
We cannot wait for a floor vote to save lives. I am moving now to:
Force the release of the $50B Rural & Underserved Health Transformation funds directly to District 7 clinics by bypassing state-level bottlenecks.
Use Section 1115 Waivers to reallocate existing Medicaid dollars toward ‘Social Determinants of Health’ like housing and nutrition.
We aren’t ‘broke.’ We are being mismanaged. As your representative, I will treat the federal budget like a corporate ledger: we will cut the waste, fire the corrupt vendors, and provide every citizen the ‘platinum-tier’ coverage they’ve already paid for with their taxes.
What approach would you take on tax policy and what is your top priority?
As a Senior HR Professional, I view taxes as the ‘Operational Dues’ required to maintain a high-functioning society. Currently, our tax code is a sieve of compliance loopholes that allow the ultra-wealthy to opt out of the very infrastructure—roads, police, and stable laws—that made their wealth possible.
My Top Priority: The ‘H.E.A.L. Act’ Tax Restructuring
We must return to a graduated system that mirrors the stability of the FDR era. My plan includes:
A $30,000 Zero-Tax Floor: Everyone’s first $30,000 is tax-free. Period. We don’t tax survival.
A 50% Corporate Minimum: Restoring the top corporate rate to the post-WWII standard. If you use American infrastructure to generate billions, you must pay the ‘maintenance fee.’
The Billionaire Bracket: 100% tax on income and realized gains above $1 billion. No one ‘earns’ a billion dollars alone; that wealth is a surplus generated by the American worker.
Closing the ‘Ghost Payroll’ Loopholes:
We must terminate the ‘Double Dipping’ allowed by the 2025 tax law, specifically the ‘choose-your-own-tax-rate’ partnership games (IRS Notice 2025-28) and the off-shoring of intellectual property to avoid domestic liability. If a corporation wants the protection of the U.S. legal system, they must pay for the upkeep of that system.
Is the House currently using its oversight powers in the way it should be? What areas of government need more or less oversight?
As an HR professional with 13 years of experience in payroll and compliance systems, I look at the current House of Representatives and see a fundamentally broken ‘Quality Assurance’ department. They are weaponizing their oversight powers for partisan theater rather than executing their basic fiduciary duty to the American taxpayer.
We do not necessarily need more or less oversight, we need a complete reallocation of enforcement priorities toward the areas of greatest systemic failure:
- The Military Budget (Gross Fiduciary Negligence): The Department of Defense recently failed its seventh consecutive financial audit, unable to account for over half of its $800+ billion in assets. If my HR or payroll department failed to account for funds seven years in a row, the executive team would be in federal prison. We need aggressive, forensic oversight to identify defense contractor bloat and recapture those lost taxpayer dollars.
- The Internal Revenue Service (Targeting Realignment): We don’t need to defund the IRS; we need strict oversight to mandate an Enforcement Pivot. Currently, the IRS disproportionately audits working-class families over minor Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) discrepancies because they lack the resources to fight back. Oversight must force the IRS to reallocate its auditors exclusively toward the offshore tax evasion and complex partnership loopholes utilized by the 1% and large corporations.
- Election Integrity & Dark Money: True oversight means auditing the PACs and lobbying firms that are currently buying legislation. We must aggressively investigate the dark money corrupting our elections, while simultaneously ensuring federal protections against voter suppression and intimidation tactics.
- Federal Grant Impact (Tracking the ROI): When federal funds are disbursed, we need strict ‘Return on Investment’ (ROI) tracking. We must utilize rigorous oversight to ensure grant money isn’t swallowed by bureaucratic administration and corporate contractors before it actually reaches the local communities of District 7.
What is the most pressing foreign policy issue facing the country and what role should the House play in dealing with it?
As an HR and Compliance professional, I view our current foreign policy not as strategic diplomacy, but as systemic procurement fraud. The most pressing foreign policy issue facing our country is the complete ‘vendor capture’ of our military by private defense contractors.
Our ‘endless wars’ are manufactured business models. Over the last two decades, the ‘Big Five’ defense contractors secured trillions in taxpayer funds, and in 2025 alone, the industry spent over $150 million on lobbying, employing nearly a thousand lobbyists to ensure Congress keeps the contracts flowing.
Simultaneously, this endless cycle of manufactured foreign crises serves as a calculated distraction from domestic executive misconduct. Whether it is the refusal to declassify the Epstein files or the failure to prosecute white-collar corruption, Washington operates a two-tiered justice system: total impunity for the ultra-wealthy, and total surveillance for the working class.
The Role of the House (The Fiduciary Mandate):
The House holds the ‘Power of the Purse.’ We are the payroll department of the federal government. Our role is to immediately halt unauthorized and un-audited expenditures.
The Audit Ultimatum: The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive financial audit in late 2025, unable to account for trillions in assets. The House must refuse to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) until the DoD can pass a basic compliance audit.
Terminate the ‘Revolving Door’: We must enforce strict, lifetime bans on Pentagon officials immediately transitioning to contractor lobbying boards.
National Security Clearances: We must use House oversight to subpoena and release the Epstein client list under the legal mandate of ‘National Security Risk Assessment’ any individual on that list holding federal contracts or security clearances must be immediately debarred.
How do you view AI and the role the government should play in its regulation?
The government’s role should be oversight, setting guardrails to ensure Artificial intelligence (AI) is safe, factual, and cannot be misused to harm people.
AI must be regulated so it cannot be used to harm people. We’ve already seen tragic cases where AI has been misused, and we need strong safeguards to prevent self-harm, bias, or misinformation. Since people often use AI like a search engine, it should be fact-based and reliable, not just another platform that spreads unchecked opinions.
The environmental impact is also critical. AI relies on massive data centers that consume enormous amounts of water and electricity, creating risks of water scarcity and a large carbon footprint. We need solutions that allow us to leverage this technology without harming communities or the environment.
At the same time, AI is a revolutionary invention. Its knowledge base comes from people, everything we’ve put on the internet, from research to art, so credit and fair compensation should go back to the people. AI should remain free and accessible, not controlled by just a few corporations.
When used responsibly, AI has enormous potential:
Identifying new antibiotics and accelerating medical research.
Helping detect cancer and other diseases earlier and more accurately.
Improving climate modeling and renewable energy systems.
Supporting accessibility tools like speech-to-text, real-time translation, and assistive devices for people with disabilities.
Streamlining work in fields from education to small business, freeing up time for creativity and innovation.
With the right guardrails, AI can transform lives for the better, but the government’s job is to make sure it works for people, not against them.
How would you describe the current state of your party and what changes or new approaches would you like to see your party adopt?
As a Senior HR Professional, I evaluate the Democratic Party the same way I evaluate a multinational corporation: I look at the payroll, and I look at the Board of Directors. Right now, our party is a captured entity. The current ‘Big Tent’ approach is essentially a failed corporate merger that forces working-class progressives to share a roof with the very corporate lobbyists who are actively dismantling our communities.
The core issue is a fundamental conflict of interest. Our party leadership cannot claim to fight for the working class while simultaneously accepting millions from Super PACs, dark money groups, and the 1%. To fix this, we don’t just need new messaging; we need a complete Internal Compliance Audit and structural overhaul.
My Mandates for Party Restructuring:
The DNC Lobbyist Ban: We must immediately amend the DNC Charter to strictly prohibit registered lobbyists from serving on the DNC Rules, Credentials, or Executive Committees. You cannot write the rules for the party if you are on the payroll of the monopolies.
Primary Election Integrity: We must implement a strict ban on PACs, Paid Lobbyists, and dark money spending in Democratic primary elections. If a candidate cannot win the support of their own district’s voters, they should not be artificially propped up by out-of-state billionaires.
The Fiduciary Benchmark: We need to establish clear ‘Performance Metrics’ for our elected officials. If a Democrat consistently votes to deregulate Wall Street, inflate the military-industrial complex, or block universal healthcare, they are failing their performance review and should lose access to the party’s national fundraising apparatus.
We must separate the party structurally not by creating a third party, but by aggressively purging the corporate consultants who have turned our democracy into a profit center.
