Let’s cut through the nonsense. Every week, the same tired rumor gets rolled out:
“He’s a closet Republican.”
“He’s a Democrat in disguise.”
“He’s just here to split the vote.”
Wrong. I’m not hiding in anyone’s closet — I’m kicking the door off its hinges. I’m not here to protect a party. I’m here to challenge both of them, head‑on. I’m openly, deliberately, and unapologetically independent — accountable only to the people of Indiana’s 9th District.
I don’t caucus with parties. I caucus with voters. If that shakes the political machine, good. That’s exactly the point.
Indiana has been trapped in a two‑party chokehold for decades — where party loyalty is mistaken for voter loyalty, and obedience is sold as democracy. I’m not here to play along. I’m here to break that grip and put power back where it belongs — in your hands.
This campaign isn’t about “siphoning” votes. It’s about taking them — every single one we can — from independents, disillusioned Democrats, frustrated Republicans, and anyone sick of being a pawn in someone else’s party war.
If your strategy depends on fear, division, and keeping voters in line, you’ve already lost. Mine depends on transparency, open finances, and giving you direct control over my votes through technology — not tribalism.
I’m coming for every voter who’s tired of being lied to, ignored, or taken for granted. That includes people who’ve voted Republican, Democrat, or neither — because loyalty to a party label is worthless if the party doesn’t serve you.
The only people who won’t back me are those who need a party to tell them what to think. If that’s you, I’m not your candidate. But if you want a representative who answers to you — not a party boss — then you’re exactly who I’m building this for.
I’m not running to push an ideology. I’m running to represent you — to listen first, act transparently, and never arrive in Washington with a pre‑approved party script.
That’s why I built the Congress App: so you can tell me exactly where to stand on every issue, see the same data I see, and watch how I vote in real time. No party bosses. No corporate donors. No hidden agenda.
I’m not a pundit. I’m a conduit. You speak. I act. You see every step. That’s not indecision — that’s democracy done right, and it’s exactly what the parties fear.
Democrats once fought for working‑class empowerment, economic fairness, and constitutional restraint. Now they push bloated bureaucracy, executive overreach, and identity politics that divide instead of unite.
Republicans once stood for limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. Now they’ve embraced massive spending, protectionist tariffs, and party obedience over principle.
Both sides talk about “saving democracy” while ignoring the most basic part of it: listening to the people they represent.
I’m not secretly a Democrat. I’m not secretly a Republican. I’m openly independent — and openly committed to upsetting this election, taking votes from both sides, and putting the people of Indiana’s 9th District back in control of their government.
If that makes me a threat to the way things are, good. That means it’s working.
