Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Why I Am Runing
"I believe America today is at a crossroads. The threats to our country are greater than the Cold War. Illegal immigration costs thousands of lives through criminal acts, hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions of taxpayer's dollars, and compromised the future of America. I have witnessed young Kentucky men lose hope when local jobs disappear and the educational system betrays them in favor of "multiculturalism". Our fathers did not fight and die in Korea and Vietnam to see America's historic heritage destroyed. Young men in Iraq and Afghanistan are not fighting to come back to a country they do not recognize. If elected, I will devote every day to representing the majority who built this country: the America of Valley Forge and Bull Run, and the farms, shops, and families of Louisville's river valley.
