I am running for Congress because I believe that I was called to serve. As a Congressional member, I promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. With my 9 years of experience serving in local government, as well as my 30 years of experience managing a business, I believe that I am the best person to improve our congressional district.
I will support due process and prohibit self-incrimination and double jeopardy. I will support a speedy public trial by jury and oppose excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.
We must protect our homes, schools, businesses, and neighborhoods from criminals by ways of deterrence. I support showing mercy, but we must seek proper justice for those who commit crimes. I will support laws that hold officials accountable who selectively neglect to do their jobs.
Criminals should pay restitution to society and their victims for what they have committed. Additionally, I will work on setting up policies to help victims financially and to help them get their lives back.
As a mental health advocate, I have teamed up with organizations to support those who are struggling with homelessness as a result of mental illness. I will support legislations to encourage various treatment centers to help victims with substance abuse and to make sure that they are cared for properly to return back to their lives.
