Excited to announce I am officially re-entering the race for Congress in California’s 47th District!
I’m back in the fight, focused on making life more affordable, fighting for parents rights, strengthening public safety, securing our borders, and restoring freedom and opportunity for every family in CD-47.
The era of career politicians is over. It’s time for real results and common-sense leadership. Join the movement — donate, volunteer, and help us win!

ORANGE COUNTY DESERVES BETTER—WE ALL DO!
Washington serves the powerful, not the people. Career politicians prioritize special interests while working families are left behind.
I’m running for Congress in CA-47 because I’ve lived the struggles of working-class Americans. I sold my business to fight for political reform. This isn’t just politics for me—it’s personal.
I’m committed to putting people over policy. No more career politicians making empty promises. It’s time for common sense, integrity, and action. It’s time to put Orange County first.

In @OrangeCoSchools, we are here to make sure EVERY student feels seen, safe, and supported to reach their own goals through graduation and beyond... Here is one way to pursue greatness! #orangecountyfirst
We want to wish all students a wonderful start to the 2025-2026 school year.
As you pursue #greatness, which person are you? The "wild imagination" or the "get it done" type?

Today was another FANTASTIC Friday! I filmed two episodes of #TarHeelTeachers on the Road with special guests: Dr. Danielle Jones (Superintendent of Orange County Schools) and Jason Johnson (2025 Wells Fargo NC Principal of the Year/Principal of Orange High School)! I also saw one of my favorite Orange County Schools educators: Xavier Adams (NCAAT 2022 Prudential NC Beginning Teacher of the Year)! Additionally, I had a lovely lunch with Dr. Harrington and Dr. Smith! #nced #OCS #nctoypoy #NCPOYNetwork #NCAAT #orangecountyfirst
