As someone who once lived under communism, I know what it means to lose freedom, and I know the fear of being unable to speak the truth — and being forced to act against one’s conscience.  Today, communism is no longer a distant shadow — it has infiltrated our schools, our media, and even our politics, quietly eroding the foundations of liberty that built a strong and compassionate America.

From propaganda and influence operations to the growing reach of the Chinese Communist Party over our economy and national security — the threat is real, and it grows every day.  We must stand firm, speak truth, and act boldly —not out of hatred or extremism, but to defend the freedom and the values upon which America was founded.

I am running not only to secure our borders, but to protect the very soul of our nation —an America that is free, honest, and never bows to communism — an ideology that stands against human rights and the dignity of mankind.
