I'll fight for fiscal responsibility, demand accountability, and bring our tax dollars back home. That means:

The Problem: Salem collects millions in tax dollars from Southern Oregon families and businesses, but when our sheriff needs deputies, our roads need repairs, and our fire departments need equipment, where's the money? It's being wasted on Portland priorities while our communities go without.

My opponent's political tensions cost Grants Pass $5.8 million in infrastructure funding. He was absent for the vote on a $1 billion funding bill. He's passed zero bills that brought resources back to our district. Southern Oregon deserves better.

The Rural Oregon Infrastructure & Safety Act: I'll champion legislation that guarantees rural communities receive a fair share of state transportation funding based on population, road miles, and infrastructure needs—not political favoritism.

The Local Law Enforcement Support Act: I'll fight to create a state grant program modeled after successful programs in other states that helps rural counties fund essential law enforcement positions when local revenues fall short.

Fiscal Accountability: I'll demand transparency in state spending and push for audits that identify waste, fraud, and inefficiency.

I'll stand with law-abiding gun owners, protect our manufacturers, and vote NO on gun control. That means:

The Problem: Oregon Democrats are waging war on law-abiding gun owners. They're passing bills that punish responsible citizens, create confusing patchworks of local restrictions, and drive firearms manufacturers out of business.

Noveske Rifleworks, a firearms manufacturer right here in Grants Pass, has said they fear being forced to leave Oregon due to hostile regulations. That's not just an attack on our constitutional rights—it's an attack on local jobs and our economy.

When Salem passed a gun control bill (SB 243), my opponent walked out instead of voting NO. That's not leadership—that's quitting. Gun owners deserved a representative who would stay and fight, not give up his voice when they needed it most.

The Second Amendment Protection Act: I'll introduce legislation that prevents local governments from creating a patchwork of concealed carry restrictions and ensures law-abiding gun owners can exercise their rights consistently across the state.

The Firearms Industry Protection Act: I'll champion legislation that protects firearms manufacturers from punitive regulations and ensures Oregon remains a welcoming place for this vital industry.

Vote NO: I'll vote NO on every gun control bill and stay on the floor to fight—no walkouts, no excuses.

As a small business owner who founded Novum Visuals in 2014, I know what employers need: lower taxes, less red tape, and protection from punitive regulations. I'll make House District 3 a pro-business refuge in an anti-business state. That means:

The Problem: Oregon is ranked 47th in business friendliness by CNBC. Salem makes it harder every year for small businesses to survive with punitive regulations, high taxes, and red tape.

My opponent tried to raise the Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) exemption—NFIB Oregon's #1 priority—and it failed. He couldn't get it done. Small businesses need a representative who can deliver results, not just good intentions.

The Small Business Relief & Recovery Act: I'll champion legislation that raises the Corporate Activity Tax exemption threshold, fixes the Equal Pay Law to allow hiring bonuses, and reduces regulatory burdens on small employers.

The Regulatory Reform Act: I'll push for a comprehensive review of state regulations to identify and eliminate unnecessary rules that harm businesses without improving public safety or welfare.

Get It Done: My opponent tried and failed. I'll build the coalitions, work across the aisle, and get these priorities passed into law.
