About this candidate response

DutyStation contacts candidates to ask whether and how they support service members, military families and veterans, and invites them to share their thoughts and priorities. We share their replies here in the candidate’s or campaign’s own words, with minor formatting for readability and correction of obvious spelling mistakes.

No endorsement in either direction. Publishing a reply does not mean DutyStation endorses the candidate. Replying does not mean the candidate or campaign endorses DutyStation.

DutyStation’s website summaries and policy assessments are labeled separately.

Election reflections. Brief answers to DutyStation’s questions about hope, America’s future, unity, the next generation and a closing message. These reflections do not establish detailed military-family or veterans policy positions.

Hope heading into the election

  • That voters truly believe in Democracy. They realize that representation in Congress must be transparent, accessible, and most of all, vote in the interests of Everyday Americans like the hard-working families and retirees on fixed incomes. PA-13 voters recognize that I am doing the work like holding town halls and being very present in our community that our current U.S. Representative, whose name they don't even know, doesn't do. I saw in the Primary Election that the Democrats are with me as they were in 2024. Moreover, many independent and Republican voters support my campaign as they've reached out to me through email and at my tent at local fairs and festivals. These voters were duped by Republicans who only answer to the ultra-wealthy instead of their constituents from whom they hide, but the voters will Choose Democracy instead.

Vision for America

  • Beacon of Democracy

Bringing Americans together

  • The will to end the war in Iran, to hold accountable those in the federal government who have committed crimes against human rights and Constitutional Law, as well as benefit from a national healthcare plan.

The next generation

  • The same as stated in the Preamble to our U.S. Constitution - "secure the Blessings of Liberty."

Closing message to voters

  • I love my country and I will not let her fall to those who imperil our national security. I will not hide from you, but do my utmost to represent us transparently, with accountability and integrity, in Washington, D.C. and vote in the best interests of Everyday Americans so that we don't simply exist, but thrive. I thank you for your service and your support for Those Who Serve.

Policy review pending. The campaign response is published above; independent assessment and official-record review remain separate.

Independence & editorial disclaimer

DutyStation publishes these profiles as independent editorial research. This page is not authorized, sponsored, approved or endorsed by any candidate, campaign or political party. Inclusion, campaign links and published responses do not constitute an endorsement by DutyStation, and a campaign’s participation does not mean it endorses our assessment.

DutyStation is not an official government, Department of Defense, military service or Department of Veterans Affairs publication. Names, images and links identify the subjects and sources; they do not imply affiliation or endorsement.

Policy summaries, potential benefits, tradeoffs and any scores are editorial assessments under our published methodology, not measures of patriotism or recommendations on how to vote. Forecasts are estimates, not guarantees. Missing information, an unpublished score or a campaign’s lack of response is not evidence of opposition to the military, military families or veterans.

Profiles may use AI-assisted research and summarization, which can contain errors. Coverage is incomplete and reflects the sources and review dates shown; positions and records can change. Check the linked original sources. Campaign statements and responses represent the campaign’s own claims, not independently verified outcomes. When published, responses will be attributed and distinguished from DutyStation’s analysis; providing a response does not confer editorial control.

For additions or factual corrections, email editor@dutystation.ai with the profile link, the disputed passage and supporting sources. DutyStation will review submissions and correct material where the evidence supports a change. External websites are controlled by their respective publishers.
