About Me

My background

  

As a believer in God, I am a proud U.S. citizen who was born and raised in a multicultural family. After completing my undergraduate studies in Spanish Language and Literature, I dedicated my academic career to the study of world religions and cultures. I earned a master’s degree in Religions and Cultures, followed by a doctoral degree in Theology from the University of Murcia in Spain, which let me to become a scholar and a college professor.


After working in academia for several years, I decided to change the direction of my career and wanted to use my linguistic and cultural expertise to serve as a cultural advisor for several U.S. government agencies. 


I have always had a strong passion for politics and a deep desire to serve in Congress, continuing my commitment to the people of America, a nation that has given me countless opportunities, shaped who I am today, and supported my growth both personally and professionally. This is why I believe that I owe to this nation and I want to pay back as much as I can by working for my fellow Americans who deserve a better representation in the Parliament.  


I appreciate the Libertarian Party members who have endorsed me for the sacred duty of serving my country at the heart of our nation. I believe that the old bi-partizan system does not function anymore and that America needs the Libertarian Party more than any time before. The Republican and the Democratic Parties completely forgot about their duty to serve to the citizens of this country and instead focused solely on foreign nation’s priorities and billionaire interest groups.  As a Libertarian candidate, I will fight for the best interest of the American people, and the AMERICAN PEOPLE ONLY! So, let’s break the cycle and restore a government that is accountable, transparent, and truly representative of the people it serves. 


Together, we can move beyond empty promises and partisan gridlock and build a future grounded in liberty, personal responsibility, and respect for individual rights. I ask for your trust, your voice, and your partnership as we work to ensure that freedom, justice, and opportunity remain the foundation of the United States of America.


ALL FOR AMERICA AND AMERICA ONLY!

My top issues

  

1) Our Re-independence:   

 My first priority—yes, our independence—is my first priority. You might ask what I mean by that, and here is my answer: unfortunately, our country is no longer truly sovereign. Yes, you heard that right. We believe we are independent, but that is not the reality. 


 Foreign countries, lobbies, billionaires, big corporations, and private interest groups have taken over our political system and now have complete control over our politicians, whom they have bribed for decades. In every election, they trick us by promising what we want to hear, and once they have our votes, they do exactly what their lords order them to do. And what happens next? They give us the remaining breadcrumbs.  
  

How will I address this issue? I will speak out and vote against all new regulations that do not benefit the American people. In addition, I will introduce bills in the House that will prevent our citizens from being robbed by these lords.


2) Taxation and the size of the Government:

  A big and important topic: the size of the federal government and its spending. Its growing costs force contributors to pay more and more in taxes every year. We are taxed when we receive our salaries. We are taxed when we buy groceries. We are taxed when we run businesses. We are taxed when we file our taxes. Tax, tax, tax! And the government is never satisfied; its appetite only grows. The more it eats, the more it demands. 


How will I address this issue?  First of all, I will oppose any bill that requires additional taxation. Second, through internal study within the party, I will introduce bills in Congress aimed at reducing taxes at the federal level. This will include reducing personnel across all federal departments. 


3)  Health Services:

 Even though we live in the most powerful and advanced country in the world, compared with other Western and especially European countries, many of our citizens cannot afford basic health care coverage.

I believe the main reason for this is the extensive federal regulations enforced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on companies seeking to invest in the health care sector.


How will I address this issue? I will introduce bills in the House to reduce, and in some cases completely eliminate, the regulatory barriers that make investment difficult. This will encourage both domestic and foreign investors to enter the health care market, increase competition, and ultimately lead to a significant decrease in health care costs, making care more affordable for our citizens.

 

4) The Second Amendment:

 I am a strong defender of the Second Amendment. At the same time, I support background checks for individuals seeking to own firearms. We must ensure that criminals and severely mentally ill individuals do not gain access to deadly weapons. 

  

How will I address this issue?  I am going to oppose all regulations that make it difficult for non-criminal U.S. citizens without mental health diagnoses to purchase weapons.
