Immigration isn’t one of my four planks, and that’s deliberate. The border is an economy and a neighborhood and a real, non-manufactured fear for the ranchers who live along it — and the fear machine has been harvesting both for a hundred years without solving either.
All four, spelled out, with what each one actually means in practice.
Here’s the deal with this page: I’m not going to hand you a 40-point plan I have no power to deliver. A freshman representative — especially a write-in independent with no party leadership to please — gets exactly these tools: one vote, the right to introduce and co-sponsor bills, a seat in hearings where you can ask questions out loud, and a microphone. That’s it. Anyone promising you more than that is lying about the job.
So here are five fights — the four pillars this campaign stands on, plus the one issue people ask about most that isn’t one of the four. Each gets a short hook here and a full page of its own: what’s broken, and what I’d actually do with the tools the job actually has.
This page is the short version on purpose. The long versions get you the receipts.
Most corruption in Washington is legal. Stock trading ban, revolving-door lockout, real-time disclosure — and everything I’m asking Congress to do, I’m already doing myself, unpaid.
I work in AI governance for a living. I’m not afraid of the technology — I’m afraid of the pitch deck. Datacenter transparency, safety before scale, and rebuilding Congress’s own capacity to understand what it’s regulating.
States treat the union as a zero-sum contest, and Arizona keeps paying for other states’ wins — the tomato tariff and the USMCA non-renewal are this year’s proof. A border-state seat at the table, not an afterthought.
Affordability isn’t just prices going up — it’s ownership going away. Right to repair, truth in “buy,” and honest pricing, because “the market” can’t fix what four companies quietly agree on.
Fair question. Four planks isn’t every issue — it was never going to be, and a platform that claims a position on everything is a platform written by a committee that believes none of it. Here’s the deal instead: the four pillars are the test I apply to everything — is it honest, does it hold up to scrutiny, does it care for actual people, does it make things worse? Ask me where I stand on anything — the contact page works — and I’ll answer in writing, on the Substack, where the answer stays put and you can hold me to it. No dodging, no “evolving positions” that evolve back after the election.
Four planks is a skeleton, not a body. Here’s the plan, stated out loud so you can hold me to it:
Between now and November, each of these four fights gets a full deep-dive — what’s broken, why it matters, and what might actually fix it — published on our Substack and mirrored here on the site. One plank per month: One Country in July, the AI Epidemic in August, Affordability in September, Anti-Corruption in October. Shorter posts in between as news warrants — and given that the USMCA fight is happening right now, there will be news.
Old versions stay up. If my thinking changes, you’ll be able to see where and why — that’s not a bug in this campaign, it’s the whole point of it.
That’s the platform. Four fights, honestly scoped to what one representative can actually do, expanding in public between now and November.
If you read all this and another candidate’s platform fits you better — good. Go read theirs; I even built you a page for that. But if what you want is someone who’ll tell you the truth about the job, the system, and himself, and who’ll spend his one vote trying not to make things worse —
You know where to write my name.
