My mission is YOU - The American PEOPLE - the PEOPLE of District 6!

About GIST for Congress

Who I am

I am a regular guy running as an independent conservative  candidate for Congress in Florida’s 6th District. I am a conservative, independent, veteran for families, workers, veterans, and small business owners united to conserve what makes America exceptional - FREEDOM! FREEDOM that provides opportunities for all hardworking Americans.

My Vision

My Vision: FREEDOM and Unity


Simple: FREEDOM and Unity. This echoes our nation’s founding FREEDOM and motto E Pluribus Unum, which reminds us that from different backgrounds, histories, and experiences, we forge one stronger, united in the endless pursuit of FREEDOM. 

Solution

As your Congressman in Florida’s 6th District I will endlessly pursue a solution that benefits all my constituents for as long as our republic endures and that is FREEDOM ACCOUNTS utilizing proven American strengths through actionable, common-sense policies that put the American People First. On day one of Congress I will put forth  the Freedom Accounts Act of 2027 that puts lower, middle, and higher-income communities - all Americans first.

GIST for 6

FREEDOM

I WANT YOUR VOTE!

A Vote for me is a Vote for the PEOPLE!

FREEDOM ACCOUNTS ACT Policy

FREEDOM ACCOUNTS: History and Why

For over 80 years, the federal government has spent $80 trillion of your money on programs meant to fight poverty, improve education, and help families — yet too many Americans still struggle while bureaucrats and NGOs get rich. Freedom Accounts changes that forever by taking the money Washington wastes and putting it directly into your personal trust account. YOU or the bureaucrats, YOU or the NGO's.

  • Your Money, Your Control: Instead of sending your tax dollars through endless government programs and middlemen, it goes straight into your own Freedom Account — invested in the SP 500 or your primary residence so it can grow into real wealth for you and your family.
  • Real Ownership & Freedom: You decide how to use it for your home, your kids’ education (choose any school), healthcare, utilities, hiring a lawyer, or donating to causes you care about — no more politicians deciding for you.
  • Built on Responsibility: The harder you work and the more responsibly you live, the more you and your family benefit — with clear accountability for serious misbehavior and strong protections so the system stays fair and honest.


Freedom Accounts isn’t another government program — it’s your share of America’s wealth, finally returned to you.

Independent - Conservative - Veteran

I am running for Congress as an Independent and Conservative — not as a Republican and not as a Democrat. As an American!


During my 10 years in military intelligence, I saw the same troubling pattern everywhere I served: political parties always put the party and their elite insiders first. People came a distant 10th, if they mattered at all. I equate today’s political parties with Washington elites — they serve themselves, not you.


That is why I am running For the People and By the People.


I am a conservative, yes. But what I am most determined to conserve is Freedom — your freedom to challenge the government when it is wrong, your freedom to live your life as you see fit, and your freedom to pursue happiness in your own way. If we surrender our constitutional rights and our right to self-determination, then we will all perish.

I have personally experienced government retaliation and the abuse of civil rights. I know how dangerous it is when those in power punish citizens for standing up. I do not want that future for you or your family.


My solution is Freedom Accounts.

Freedom Accounts redirects $80 trillion in wasted government spending away from bureaucrats, NGOs, and special interests and puts it straight into your personal account. It is a policy written in the best interests of the People — not elites. It gives you real ownership of your money, control over your children’s education, your healthcare, your home, and your future.


I am not running for any political party. I am not running for the elites. I am running to represent you — the People of Florida’s 6th District.


Freedom Accounts is how we finally put power back where it belongs: with the People.
