We were taught that America belongs to the people.
But it doesn’t feel that way anymore, does it?

​

It feels like we’ve become spectators to our own democracy.
It feels like the people in charge don’t listen. Don’t care. Don’t even pretend.
 

And it’s no accident.
Because the system we live under wasn’t built for people like us. It’s been captured—by insiders who protect their own power, while working families get priced out, shouted down, and left behind.

​

That’s why today, I’m making it official:

I’m running for Congress—Tennessee’s 7th District—as an Independent.

​

Not because I want the title. But because I’m tired of watching this country lose its way. I’m tired of pretending the two-party machine is fixable from within. And I’m done being polite about the truth.

​

We are governed by a political class that no longer serves the people.

​

They’ve handed over lawmaking to the highest bidder. Let billionaires rig the tax code while small businesses collapse. Waged endless wars. Stacked up mountains of debt. And told us it’s all normal. The “cost of doing business.”

​

But I don’t believe this is normal. I believe it’s an indictment. Of both parties. Of the entire rigged machine.

​

This campaign is not about me.
 

It’s not about loyalty to a color or a party or a slogan.

​

It’s about representation. It’s about lifting the veil on a system that pretends to be democratic—but functions like a cartel. And it’s about giving voice to the 43% of Americans who now identify as independents—the largest political identity in the country.

​

They say independent candidates can’t win. But here’s what they’re really afraid of: That we do win. That we start telling the truth. That we make them remember who this country belongs to.

​

The Republicans and Democrats have had nearly 170 years of shared power—and this is what they’ve given us. Endless debt. A crumbling middle class. More division. Less freedom.

​

We keep being told that this time it’ll be different. But we all know the truth: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results isn’t hope—it’s insanity.

​

The system won’t change from within. So it’s time we change who we send to Washington.

​

So I’m not asking for your loyalty. I’m asking for your voice. Your courage. And your belief that this American experiment still belongs to us—not them.

​

Let’s make noise.
Let’s make history.
Let’s make them remember.
