Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Growing up in Metro-Detroit, I have learned irreplaceable life lessons. From being a student-athlete at University of Michigan-Dearborn to working in the small business community of Metro Detroit, I have learned to embrace and respect the hard working citizens and the values of our community.

Through my strong family upbringing, I have learned what it means to work hard and to respect those who work for their families. I have had many role models in my life. My grandmother, Marilyn Turner, though she is a Detroit TV legend, preached to me the values of work ethic, living my morals, and being personally accountable.

I have had numerous opportunities to learn what it means to be an involved citizen and public servant. From being a Field Director for the 'Lena Epstein For Congress' campaign in 2018 to serving as an elected member of the 11th Congressional District Executive Committee, I have learned how to advance the goals of citizens in Michigan's 38th House District.

Our community deserves someone who has lived, witnessed, and experienced the challenges they face every day. They deserve someone they can trust with their way of life.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Protecting Constitutional Rights
• Managing through the economic depression caused by Governor Whitmer
• Election Integrity

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about the ability that public policy gives us in order to help our community. Applying ideas and solving problems to help improve the lives of fellow Michiganders is what drives my pursuit in the political realm.

Making sure that we take care of those that lay their lives on the line for our freedom, and protecting that freedom for future generations are two of the most crucial aspects of public policy. That is why I believe in measures that protect the lives of the unborn; protect our constitutional rights; and reward the brave individuals that preserve our liberty.

We can continue to achieve these things by finding ways to fight wasteful spending, and in turn, leading to a Michigan that benefits the whole of its constituents. The goal is to keep more food on the table and more money in the bank accounts of working-class individuals; that is the philosophy in which I live by.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
