Before I made the decision to run for , my wife Melisa and I spent three days in prayer.
I could not sleep for those three days.
The Lord gave me an answer that I didn’t like. The truth is, I was ready for retirement. But the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart because he had other plans for my life. I wrestled with Him, and felt like Moses when he cried out to God, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else!”
But the Lord showed me something bigger than myself: a need for Godly men and women to take charge in our country.
When you look at what’s going on in America today: Shootings. Skyrocketing crime. Drugs pouring across our border. Human trafficking on the rise. An inflation and affordability crisis. Globalism and America Last pushed on our children in the classroom.
I was convinced to do something.
I am not a perfect man. I would not be a perfect member of Congress.
But one thing I can promise you: if elected to Congress, I will stand FIRM in the faith and put the needs of the people of Pinellas County first. I will fight tooth and nail to save our country from going off the deep end, where it is currently headed. I will be a God-fearing member of Congress.
I am eternally grateful to this amazing community, whose support for my family and I has seen no limit. You have truly given us our strength in this fight. Thank you all for everything, let’s win this race Tuesday.
