UPDATE: I am no longer pursuing my campaign as an independent candidate seeking to get on the ballot for the US House of Representatives in North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District.  We were not receiving signed petitions at the rate needed to collect over 10,000 petition signatures by March 3, 2026.  I want to thank the people that helped with the campaign and those I met along the way!

That said, the issues that drove our campaign remain:  War spending when our tax dollars should be spent here in the United States, affordability, and ever rising premiums for healthcare if you can (continue to) afford it, the closure of rural hospitals, and the coming Medicaid restrictions that will see thousands of people in our region lose healthcare, while unaffiliated North Carolina voters continue to be shut out of our democratic process while establishment Democrats and Republicans skirt the real issues that need to be addressed.  Take a look at our platform for our take on a variety of issues.

We will continue to be involved in the political process in our region with our guidestar always being figuring out what is best for the regular people of our region.  We look forward to working with anyone on any side of the aisle in any forum to move this agenda forward.  Finally, if you are reading this, we encourage you to get involved.  Real change, right now, and it starts with you!

Our only chance to get our program out to everyone in Western North Carolina is to get on the ballot.  But because I’m an unaffiliated candidate, my name will not appear on the ballot for the November 2026 election unless we collect more than 10,000 signatures from registered voters in Western North Carolina’s 11th Congressional district. These signatures must appear on a candidate petition.  

Please help us by mailing your signed and completed candidate petition to:
