Washington needs a new type of leader. It has become clear that Congress is not built to solve our nation's most important problems. I believe as a new type of representative, without ties to big money and without ties to special interests, I can begin to change the way Washington works.

I will go to Congress with a single purpose, to use the leadership skills I learned in the United States Army to represent every resident of the Wisconsin 2nd. I believe that as your Congressman, my job is to make difficult decisions that move our Nation forward while standing for the best interests of the Wisconsin 2nd.

My campaign is a break from politics as usual. To begin with, I will not accept any donations from any organization. I will only accept individual donations. I believe that the failure of our politicians to address our most important issues is directly tied to the money they raise to win elections. I do not believe money wins elections, I believe votes win elections.

Throughout my campaign I will propose real solutions to our Nation's problems. I will present the people of the Wisconsin 2nd with my plan to move our Nation forward. This gives you a sense of where I stand, what I believe, and how I intend to govern. Some of my ideas may be unpopular, but I feel we need real solutions to solve our very real problems. I ask that you keep an open mind and please let me know what you think as this campaign moves forward.

First, explore the website to learn about me and my campaign. The Frequently Asked Questions is a good place to start. If you like the ideas I stand for there are a number of ways for you to help the campaign:


I believe in the people of the Wisconsin 2nd. I know that in our state money does not buy votes. The biggest way you can help my campaign is to vote for me in the primary on August 14, 2012. I also need you to spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers and everyone else you know about my campaign.
