Results, not excuses.
I believe government should prevent harm before it happens, not just react after it does. Regulate when regulation protects people. Use government when government can solve problems. Protect freedom, due process, and real accountability along the way.
My story brought me here. I’m running to build a safe community.
I know what gun violence does to a family, because mine lived it. I know what recovery costs: hospital bills, courtrooms, and the years you spend rebuilding your life. And I know a lot of that pain was predictable: the kind of harm smart policy could have prevented. I bring that survivor’s perspective to every issue, and the working life of a public-school professional who spends his days serving Columbia families. I’m not a career politician. I’m your neighbor.
