Why I'm Running

I'm not a politician. I'm a Marine, a whistleblower, and a dad from Belmont who has had enough.

I'm running for Congress because I've spent my entire adult life inside the systems that are failing people, and I'm done watching career politicians collect paychecks while pretending the problems are too complicated to fix.

They're not complicated. They're profitable. And that's why nobody in power is fixing them.

What this campaign is about

This campaign is not about me. It's about the families on the Peninsula who are one bad month away from losing everything. It's about the veterans who come home broken and get buried in paperwork instead of getting the care they earned. It's about the teachers who can't afford to live where they teach and the parents who can't afford childcare.

I've been a Marine in Iraq. I've been a Pentagon analyst watching billions disappear into defense contracts. I've been a whistleblower who got fired for telling the truth. And I've been a dad sitting in an IEP meeting fighting for services my son is legally entitled to.

I know what it looks like when the system works for the people running it instead of the people it's supposed to serve. That's what I'm running to change.

No corporate PACs. No super PACs.

I'm not taking corporate PAC money. I'm not taking money from super PACs. Every dollar that funds this campaign comes from actual people who want better representation.

That's not a slogan. That's a commitment.

I can't self-fund this. I'm not rich. I don't have a political machine or a family dynasty backing me. I'm pretty much just a dude from Belmont with a Harvard degree and a strong opinion that this district and all Americans deserve better.

If you're on the Peninsula and you're tired of being represented by someone who got the job because the last person retired and handed it to them, join us. This seat was earned by nobody. It's time someone earned it.
