Washington isn’t failing because Americans disagree — it’s failing because Congress has stopped legislating.

While families on the Central Coast struggle with rising living costs, unaffordable housing, and higher energy bills, too many members of Congress settle for gridlock, messaging votes, and excuses rather than solutions.

I’m running for Congress to change that.

After 26 years in the U.S. Navy, I learned that complex problems don’t get solved by slogans — they get solved through leadership, accountability, and teamwork under pressure. That’s how I will approach legislating in Congress.

I will fight for:

• Affordable homeownership and lower living costs
• Reliable, affordable energy that protects jobs and national security
• Public safety, the rule of law, and humane but firm immigration enforcement
• Fiscal responsibility and legislation that delivers measurable results



But winning — and legislating effectively — requires resources.

If you believe our district deserves a representative who will do the hard work of legislating, I’m asking you to donate today.

Your contribution directly supports voter outreach, community engagement, and the grassroots effort needed to win a tough race and bring real problem-solving back to Congress.

Please give what you can today and help restore Common Sense to the Central Coast!

Many thanks,
