I am a conservative Republican that is a staunch Pro-Life and 2nd Amendment supporter. I believe the KY state budget needs to be reduced before further increases in taxes.

  • I will Fight For Pro-Life & Second Amendment
  • I will fight to repeal the McCoy Sales Tax Increases
  • I will represent the citizens of Nelson County, not the special interests or lobbyists

I am passionate about Open and Transparent government. I will fight corruption at all levels of state government.

Honesty and Integrity in communicating with the citizens is paramount to me.

To represent the people that put their representative into office
