As the only Republican-Conservative candidate running citywide who is also a veteran and a minority, I stand unchallenged—not because of backroom deals or party favors, but because I chose unity over division. I wasn’t lifted by DEI quotas, nepotism, or cronyism, nor did I buy my way into this race. I earned my place through grit, determination, and relentless hard work. My campaign is not just a candidacy—it’s a testament to what can be achieved when purpose meets perseverance.
