Gratitude & Giving Praise.

Every day my wife Christina and I thank God as we watch our three children grow. We believe, as our parents and theirs before them, that the traditions of our Fathers should not be discarded so easily. Rather, they should be understood such that their age-old wisdom is written upon our hearts.

As working parents, owning a small business, active in our faith community, civic service and our children’s education and activities - we know that we are blessed to have the help of extended family and friends who help us get it all done.

Roots in Service.

Our roots are grounded in service of our great nation. My Dad served in the United States Navy. My Grandpa served in the United States Air Force and was active during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Many others in our family have also answered the call. I will honor their sacrifices and all those who have served as I serve in Congress.

Why Us? Why Now?

Looking at the landscape of the issues that will shape society as our children grow, Christina and I have deep concerns.

I’ve been asked, “How could you take on a challenge like Congress with how busy you are?” My wife and I talked and prayed at length over this decision and have concluded,

“How can we not?”

Ours is also a relatively young country.

"The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness." George Washington 1790.

Approaching two-and-a-half centuries, Our United States have risen from an idea to global leadership, a beacon of hope, and defender of democracy.

The enemies of freedom, pessimists, and misguided activists believe that we won’t last another two hundred and fifty years. They attack us through terrorism. They spread anti-western propaganda aimed at disrupting the very country that brings goodness and stability to the world. They have infiltrated our schools and other systems in an effort to erode our confidence and belief in who we are.

It is time for an American Revival to remind the world that we are a force for good. So long as we unify, as one, under that great American banner affectionately known as “Old Glory,” we can not - and will not - be stopped.
