Which office are you seeking? Please include the office's full title, including district number, and the state where you are running.

House of Representatives, District FL-13, Florida


10

Why are you running for this office?

To rebuild, on a national scale, a Republican Party that K.A.R.E.S. about putting the people first again. To advocate and represent all people of the citizens of Pinellas, my home and where I've grown up. To role-model the type of leadership my generation can implement, breaking through the culture war and hate to bring hope not just to our nation, but the world at large.


11

What issues are most important to you?

KNOCKING out corporate money from politics and voter apathy through ranked choice voting, enshrining ACCESS to food, water, and shelter to be human rights for our citizens through a constitutional amendment, and REDEEMING the Republican Party through a refreshed/genuine policy approach that accepts responsibility for our mistakes in the past and takes bold action to solve it now, such as through ending the war on drugs. Expanding our ECONOMIC policy through continuous 0% interest on all student loans, a Food & Freedom Dividend to spur economic activity among all citizens earring under 100,000 a year, and expanding SUSTAINABILITY efforts through a reimagined Citizens Conservation Core that would be funded through a carbon tax and work to rebuild trust between government & the people by taking care of our natural resources, upgrading our energy grid, and taking a conservationists mindset to caring for everyday citizens best that they can.


12

What makes you a unique candidate for this office?

My youth (25 years of age) alongside my experience serving as the Student Body President of over 50,000 at the University of South Florida make me uniquely qualified to be not just a voice for the next generation, but an experienced candidate in the realm of public affairs at a very young age. I have a track record of working with anyone and everyone who wants to better the lives of those I represent, and being able to reach compromises in situations no one had been able to before. I believe fully that Congress is already largely ineffective because of the extreme partisanship and performative nature rather than focus on genuine issues and debate of policy points, and sending another candidate to D.C. that just wishes to fan these flames does our citizens a disservice - yet that is the approach of almost everyone trying to run for this open seat. Thus, my candidacy is standing in absolute opposition to that, with a fundamental belief that everyone has value to contribute to any dialogue and a congressional representatives best tool is their ability to listen.

Yes, Republican Party.


16

Describe your biggest challenges at this point.

-Being able to share my vision with the citizens of my district on a large scale with a small, grassroots team
-The divisive nature of politics in a Purple district, with many being unable to even consider listening to narratives that don't fit what they've been told
-Fundraising without following the mainstream approach of getting folks angry in order to donate

24

Why do you think you'll win?

Because I have an ear to the ground to the real issues working class families are facing each and every single day, a platform crafted with heart, merit and real bold action for those who need it most, and unwavering faith that the the American people see that it is time for the next generation to heed the call of public service and try to fix what hasn't been working in government... without tearing those down who have come before us for their mistakes thus far.
