“I’m a 52 year old working-class Hoosier by choice. I’ve spent more than 28 years at FedEx, started a small business with my wife, and built a nonprofit from the ground up. I grew up on a cotton farm in Louisiana, so I know the value of hard work, keeping your word and looking out for your neighbors. That’s how I’ll serve.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I’m running because regular working people deserve somebody at the Statehouse who understands their lives. I know what it’s like to work for a paycheck, watch grocery and gas prices climb and wonder where the money is going to come from. I want to stand up for working Hoosiers—not corporations, lobbyists or special interests.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Putting PEOPLE before Data centers, Affordability and access to healthcare are my top priorities. Working people are paying more for groceries, fuel, housing and healthcare while corporations continue receiving special deals.”

“Affordability & Fiscal Responsibility: these go hand in hand. Families, seniors, and small businesses feel the impact of every dollar government spends, and I believe taxpayers deserve leaders who treat public funds with the same care they use at their own kitchen tables.”
