I am seeking this bench because Montgomery County deserves a Justice of the Peace who brings proven judicial experience, stability, and a disciplined approach to public safety. Having already presided over more than 60,000 criminal, juvenile, and civil cases, I understand the demands of a high-volume court and the impact it has on families, law enforcement, and our community. My goal is to maintain stability in the JP Court, ensure accountability, and support a justice system that protects taxpayers and strengthens public confidence....

I have supported GOP candidates, attended Republican events, engaged in local conservative networks, and consistently upheld conservative values in my professional life. My commitment to law and order, limited government, fiscal responsibility, and constitutionalism reflects Republican principles in action.

I believe the state should only license professions where there is a clear public-safety need. Barbers don’t pose a meaningful risk to the public, so heavy licensing requirements create unnecessary government intrusion. Lawyers, on the other hand, directly impact people’s rights, property, and freedom, so a system of accountability and standards is appropriate. My philosophy is simple, keep government as small as...

Congressman Morgan Luttrell is currently endorsing me in this race. He is my elected representative for the district I live in, and we share a military background.
