I voted for George W. Bush, both times, I've voted for Mitt Romney and I voted for Senator Mc. Cain.

In the summer of 2013, my wife was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called medulloblastoma. I spent 9 months in hospitals with her and didn’t know if she was going to live - 85% of all people with it have a relapse within two years and then it’s 99% fatal. In effect being a single father to my kids and her primary caregiver, I took my family to South America from 2014 to 2019 to focus on them and give them an adventure - take them out of the ghosts of their former lives.

When everyone was ready to return home, I moved everyone back with a renewed sense of appreciation for what it means to be an American and what we have as a country. I then became very involved as a precinct chair and a state delegate. My priorities are God, family, country - in that order. So in my mind, my family needed me more for a period of 5 years and that’s what I focused on.

If anything, I think it shows that I live up to my commitments. My opponent, who does not have children and is no longer married, is using that as an attack on my character. I think that says more about him than it does me. But now you have a chance to decide between an outsider businessman who loves his country or a career lobbyist/politician who has worked with the Democrats when it benefited him. The choice is yours.
