Country Before Party. Democracy Before Politics.
Our democracy is a precious gift—and a serious responsibility. At this moment in our history, it’s facing real challenges. As President Lincoln warned, the greatest threats to our republic often come from within, not beyond our borders.
We’ve seen efforts to undermine faith in our elections, spread disinformation, and manipulate the system through tactics like extreme gerrymandering. These trends—regardless of which party engages in them—erode trust and divide Americans at a time when we need to come together.
I served in the U.S. Army for 21 years, including three tours in combat. I earned the Bronze Star, but more importantly, I had the honor of leading and serving alongside men and women from every background and political belief—united by a common oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath wasn’t to a political party—it was to the country we love.
After my military service, I pursued a Master of Laws in National Security Law at Georgetown University. I’ve continued to study how we protect our nation—not just from foreign threats, but also from the erosion of trust in our own institutions.
As your next U.S. Senator, I will work to restore civility, strengthen our democratic norms, and ensure that America remains a beacon of stability and freedom.
That means standing up for:
Free and fair elections, where all eligible Americans can make their voices heard—and where those results are respected.
Peaceful political discourse, rejecting violence and extremism no matter where it comes from.
Bipartisanship and accountability, because putting country before party is the only way we move forward.
We may not always agree on everything—but I believe most Americans share a commitment to truth, fairness, and the rule of law. I’m not running to score points for any party. I’m running to represent the people of Mississippi and defend the ideals that make this country worth fighting for.
We all want a safer, stronger, freer America. Let’s work together to protect it.
