Why I’m Running
I will focus on the key issues that matter to the residents of this district:
- Reduce the cost of living and eliminate government waste
- Combat rampant fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars
- Make our district safe for residents, workers, visitors, and small businesses
- Educate our kids to their fullest potential and encourage school option
- Secure our borders and prioritize legal immigration
- Ensure America’s energy independence
- Combat antisemitism and radicalism
- Strengthen and protect our alliances
- Prevent, fight, and combat government fraud through integrity, transparency, and accountability
I am running for U.S. Congress in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District because I take my oath of U.S. citizenship seriously.
I believe in giving back to the country that allowed me to live the American dream. In the United States, the battle against socialism, Marxism, and political Islamism begins right here, in our district. We must be free to express ourselves without the fear of online bullying; reprisals against our businesses or employment; or unjust accusations of racism, “Islamophobia,” xenophobia, or misogyny.
