“Our country is in trouble when Americans lose trust and confidence in the fairness, honesty, and security of our elections. Free, fair, and honest elections are the lifeblood of our nation. They are the foundation of our constitutional republic, the essence of democracy, and the safeguard of our way of life. Yet, with each passing election, more and more Americans are left questioning whether our elections remain untouched by fraud, error, or manipulation. This growing frustration is a call to action - a call to restore trust and integrity in the very system that defines us as free people.

Today, we stand at a pivotal moment with a President - and soon a new Governor - who are ready to champion election integrity alongside millions of Ohioans. We must now elect a Secretary of State who is prepared to reclaim the promise of elections that are beyond reproach.

That is why I, a dedicated husband and father, a 20-year combat veteran, and devoted man of faith and service, am running for Secretary of State. From one patriot to another, I humbly ask for your vote, but most importantly, your trust.
