How It Started, How It’s Going

Phase 1: Ask people to sign my petition to get on the ballot. Phase 2: Get elected. Every day I ask people to sign the form that allows me to get on the ballot. My goal is 10,000 signatures. That way I have far more than is needed because the Election Office will undoubtedly reject...

On Stage and On Course

I am not yet an official candidate in the election (still a few more signatures to go.) That means when there is an event with all of the primary challengers, I don’t get invited. But that changed at a forum hosted Kokomo. I got to be on the stage. Here’s the full video: I’ve not...

Why The Mandate Failed

We are now a few weeks out from the collapse of the Biden administration’s plan to require nearly everyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine. On January 26, 2022, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration formally withdrew their emergency temporary standard [1]. This was just after the...

Why We Are (Still) Talking About Race

In March of 1891, eleven people were brutally murdered by a mob in New Orleans. The crowd that killed them numbered in the thousands. Those who committed the atrocity were never punished. The next day, The New York Times published an editorial praising this act, calling those who had been killed...

I Am Now 1 of 16,563 COVID-19 Cases in Indiana

According to the authorities, there were 16,563 new cases of COVID-19 last Thursday in Indiana. I was one of them. Like many Americans, I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know who to trust. When I got the text, I left the event I was at and went home. I could go in...

Perspective: It’s What We Need

As a kid in the Scouting program, I went to Philmont in rural New Mexico. This is a rite of passage for many young people. Over 30,000 adventurers make the trek annually, lugging heavy backpacks and dried food through the rugged terrain. It’s been thirty years but I do remember the trip. I...

This Date is Why I Am Here

It took me most of 2021 to realize something about myself. The reason I low-key blew up my otherwise good life to run for Congress is because of what happened one year ago. Last January 6th, a thousand people stormed the U.S. Capitol. That was a watershed moment for me. But not because it...

Was the 2020 Election Legitimate? Well…

Short answer: I think so, but we can’t be certain. And this is the wrong question anyway. Long answer: I see three steps to a legitimate election, and we only hit two of them at best. Every other national election in my lifetime has been definitely legitimate according to these criteria. But not...

All That Matters

People ask me every single day about the issues that matter to me most. It’s not climate change or gun control or education. It’s not healthcare or terrorism or taxes or inequality. It’s not racism or mandates. The issue that matters, the only issue that truly matters any more, is trust. We...

The Constitution of the United States does not have much to say about the job for which I am now applying. In Article I, Section 2, there are three requirements: You must be at least 25 years old. You must have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years. Upon your election, you must...

Thankful for Traditions and Truth

Every year, we celebrate. Families travel across the county or the country to be together. Friends assemble and recipes are dusted off. We rush to stores and dig through our pantries to get the perfect ingredients. And for one long day, we give thanks. This is Thanksgiving. Of all of the American...

Television is No Place for Justice

Cops and lawyers fill the airwaves. CSI. Law and Order. Perry Mason. NYPD Blue. These programs have been a staple of American media culture for as long as we’ve had television. Before that there were police radio dramas, and now there are murder podcasts. We love stories about crime. But the...
