Why I'm Running?
After 25 years flying F-16 combat missions, building Folds of Honor from our garage into a national movement that has delivered nearly $340 million in scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled heroes, and raising five daughters with my wife Jacqy, I know what service really means.
I am running for Oklahoma CD-1 because Oklahoma families deserve a fighter in Washington who has actually lived the values we talk about — faith, family, and putting country first.
Our veterans and first responders have given everything so we can enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. Too many of their families are still struggling with the cost of education, the burdens of disability, and the feeling that Washington has forgotten them. I will not forget them.
I will fight every day to:
- Secure the strongest national defense and fully fund the care our heroes have earned
- Cut wasteful spending and deliver real results for working Oklahoma families
- Protect the freedoms, values, and way of life that make Oklahoma the greatest state in America
Guided by strong Christian faith and the fighter-pilot mindset of CAVU — Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited — I believe we must honor every sacrifice, take care of our own, and leave Oklahoma and our nation better than we found it.
That is my promise to you.
