This campaign is about “All-or-Nothing” when it comes to our inalienable rights. I will NOT compromise-away your freedoms as American citizens. I’m a husband to my selfless wife, a father to my 3 beautiful children, and I’m standing up for the preservation of their freedoms, for future generations, and for you.
I will strive to restore to this elected office the fundamental duties and responsibilities owed to the people. I will not fold. I will not compromise in order to “cooperate” with those who don’t hesitate in diluting the value of Liberty.
I’m unashamedly a follower of Jesus Christ, and strive to lead my family daily in the orthodox Christian values. Christians are commanded to love their neighbors, and to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. This is why I will fight to END abortion in this State.
I served my country for over seven years in the U.S. Marine Corps, participating in two overseas deployments with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit. My experience in service to this great Nation has only further forged my love and deep gratitude for our God-given freedoms in this, the freest Nation on earth.
- Protection of all life, in pursuit to ending abortion.
- Defense and preservation of the 2nd amendment.
- Border security and community safety.
The term Pro-Life comes with a great responsibility and accountability to uphold God’s view of life no matter the size, location, or level of dependency. Either all life is precious, or none of it is. To be "For-Life" is to value every human being, at all times, not just those deemed valuable by man’s own definition. We must End Abortion Now.
I will demand Equal Justice for all life; We must ignore Roe immediately; Overturn Roe v. Wade; Fully defund Planned Parenthood and all government sponsored abortion.
Your Nation to Save by Shane F. Krauser.

The characteristics and principles that are most important for an elected official include: integrity, transparency, honor, courage, and commitment to the people and upholding the Constitution of the United States.
The core responsibilities for elected officials include:
To protect ALL life, property, and liberties of the citizens of this great State.
To resist all mandates, proposed legislation, and laws that are unjust and immoral.
To oppose any mandates or laws that directly violate the Constitution of the United States.
To recognize any overreach of the higher authorities and actively resist such tyranny.
I would like to leave a legacy to my children in showing them that in order to maintain freedom, we must be willing to fight to keep it. To hold to the values and liberties that our founding fathers fought, bled, and died for. I want to show them that if you're ready to complain, you better be ready to make change by getting involved.
Ignoring Roe and ending abortion in the state. Any legislation that does not provide EQUAL protection for ALL life, is not Pro-Life legislation.
When it comes to our core freedoms and liberty, no, absolutely not. Compromise is for those who fear the establishment, and don't fear the people they represent.
