FOR CONGRESS
END THE CARTEL
TAKE BACK CONTROL
A campaign to break the systems that are destroying our country and restore power to the people.
AMERICA ONLY
America does not belong to one race, one religion, one party, or one class. It belongs to all of us. It belongs to Black families, White families, Latino families, Native communities, and every person who calls this nation home. It belongs to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and the unaffiliated. It belongs to gay and straight, young and old, rich and poor, city blocks and country roads.
This country was never meant to serve a select few. It was meant to be a common home – a nation where the people come first. That means taking care of our own people before another dime leaves this country. It means funding our schools before foreign wars, rebuilding our roads before overseas regimes, helping our veterans before foreign interests, and making sure no American family is abandoned while billions are shipped abroad.
America is for all of us—or it is not America at all. And any politics that teaches us to hate each other is not patriotism. It is poison.
Why I’m Running
A cartel is when those in power, regardless of party, collude to protect their control and keep out outsiders. Today, Congress acts more like a money-laundering operation than a governing body accountable to the American people.
I’m not here to “restore norms” or “reach across the aisle” or have “the courage to compromise” just to preserve a corrupt system. This campaign is not about preserving what’s here. It’s about tearing down what doesn’t work and rebuilding something that actually serves the American people.

MEET THE CANDIDATEWe’re Taking It Back
This is your country, and it is being stripped for parts and auctioned off by both establishment parties—and you’re the one paying for it. Monopolies are bleeding you dry at the grocery store, at the pharmacy, at the gas pump, and when you go to buy health insurance.
When Wall Street fails at capitalism and crashes the economy, you’re told to tighten your belt. Politicians talk about “solutions” while they cash checks from the very industries crushing you. Enough. I’m not here to manage the decline or play along with the same rigged system. I’m here to break it.
I’m here to bust up monopolies. Get us Medicare for All. Stop the endless wars. Cut ties with Israel. Jail the Epstein class. End corporate welfare. Put guardrails and hard restrictions on AI data centers. And build a system that actually works for the people who keep this country running.
This country belongs to Americans, not lobbyists, not donors, not foreign interests. If you’re profiting off corruption, you should be nervous. If you’ve been getting rich off bailouts, insider deals, or protecting a broken system, your time is up.
We’re going to force accountability where there has been none—on Wall Street, in Congress, in the Epstein files, and across every institution that thinks it’s untouchable. We’re going to expose it, prosecute it, and dismantle it. This isn’t about reform. It’s about taking a system that’s been captured—and ripping it back for the people it was supposed to serve.
WHY I’M RUNNING WITH THE GREEN PARTY
The two major parties in America no longer represent ordinary people. They represent the billionaire class, corporate donors, lobbying firms, defense contractors, pharmaceutical giants, Wall Street, and the permanent political machine that profits while working families fall further behind.
They argue on television. They insult each other online. They perform outrage for cameras. But when it comes to the interests that actually control this country — the banks, monopolies, war profiteers, and mega-donors — both parties fall in line.
That is why nothing fundamental ever changes.
Healthcare remains unaffordable. Housing becomes unreachable. Wages stagnate while billionaires accumulate unimaginable wealth. Endless wars continue. Corporate consolidation expands. And every election becomes another scripted performance where the American people are told to fear the other side more than the system itself.
No one can serve two masters.
A political movement cannot serve billionaires and working people at the same time. It cannot claim to defend democracy while being financially dependent on the very interests that undermine it. It cannot promise reform while being owned by the industries it is supposed to regulate.
I chose to run with the Green Party of the United States because I believe the American people deserve a political movement that is independent from corporate control. A movement willing to challenge concentrated wealth, endless war, corruption, and the economic system that has hollowed out the middle class.
This campaign is not about protecting the existing power structure. It is about confronting it directly.
The political establishment wants people to believe there are only two choices. But a system that offers only two corporate-funded options is not meaningful democracy. Real democracy requires independence, courage, and the willingness to oppose the interests that profit from division, fear, and permanent economic insecurity.
The future of this country will not be changed by the people who benefit from its decline. It will be changed by ordinary Americans deciding they have had enough.
