I’m Challenging The Most Endangered US Senator For His Seat — And I Will Win

America is at a crossroads: Will we cave to the radical left’s vision for our nation, where men win trophies in women’s sports and our border is wide open for illegal aliens, or do we stand with President Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again through America First policies?

I know where I stand, and I’m running for Senate to fight for the future of our nation where taxpayers, not criminals and foreign governments, are put first.

The stench of the Biden-Harris administration’s lawlessness and economic devastation still lingers in the air today. President Trump inherited a mess and has been, at a breakneck pace, clawing our nation back towards prosperity.

But even he can’t do it alone; President Trump, like the people of Georgia, deserves a MAGA warrior in the Senate who will stand with the 77 million Americans who overwhelmingly sent the President back to Washington to shake things up.

I’m prepared to earn President Trump’s endorsement, because anyone who isn’t willing to fight for his endorsement isn’t willing to stand up for him in the U.S. Senate. I will defend President Trump and represent the values of the state of Georgia — limited government, economic growth, fairness, and law and order.

Unfortunately, liberal elites from California and New York spent millions in our state to get radical liberal Jon Ossoff elected in a fluke runoff election. His dangerously liberal ideology has been on full display during his tenure as senator, aligning more with AOC and Bernie Sanders than the people he supposedly represents.

For example, despite more than 70% of Georgians supporting legislation that prohibits men from participating in girls’ sports — a policy grounded in science — Jon Ossoff voted against legislation that would have ensured all women have the opportunity to achieve athletic excellence.

Even more appalling was his decision to embrace Joe Biden’s wide-open southern border, a decision that cost Georgia student Laken Riley her life.

Policies have consequences, and we are sick and tired of dealing with the holdover consequences of the Biden-Harris era that Jon Ossoff represents.

Unlike our two Democrat senators, I understand the real-world impacts that Washington’s decisions have on hardworking taxpayers. My grandfather was a sharecropper, and my father worked at a paper mill. The first in my family to graduate college, I ran and operated my own chain of pharmacies in the First Congressional District of Georgia for more than 32 years; now, I am honored to represent my home in the United States’ Congress.

Everything I have, I earned. I’ve lived the American Dream, and it is my mission to ensure that our children and grandchildren are afforded the same, if not better, opportunities.

That’s why I’m working hard to prevent the largest tax hike in American history, which will happen if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is allowed to expire at the end of the year. The average Georgia family would lose the equivalent of eight weeks’ worth of groceries if these important tax breaks were to go away. That is unaffordable and unacceptable, especially after four years of record high inflation courtesy of the Biden-Harris administration.

You can bet your bottom dollar that Jon Ossoff is going to follow his liberal overlords and vote against this common sense legislation. Yet, common sense often eludes Mr. Ossoff, who frequently violates the will of the people in exchange for a pat on the back from Chuck Schumer. It’s time to take our state, and with it our nation, back. With Donald Trump at the helm and a strong conservative fighter in the Senate, we will usher in the Golden Age of America and truly make this nation great once again.
