I AM AMERICAN(My Story)

I was born and raised right here in Washington State in Monroe Washington. I have lived all over the state. Greenwood, Bellevue, Samamish, Seattle, Monroe, Sultan, Skykomish, Cle Elum, Moses Lake, I have lived all over the state, but the last ten years I have called Moses Lake home where I own/operate a Recreational Marijuana Farm.

I’ve worked hard my whole life — from managing a medical marijuana dispensary (The Healing Corner), to building my own recreational marijuana grow operation on a former missile base. Yes, I literally live and work in what feels like a real-life Fallout vault — complete with the quirks that come with it, while being on site security and giving the occasinal tour throughout the years. Which all strengthened my resolve to fight for the kind of state where families can thrive without government overreach crushing them at every turn, and where every dollar goes a bit further.

Truth is, I don’t even want to be governor. I’d rather be sitting on my farm, smoking the occasional bowl, and shooting guns on my own time. But failed liberal policies have destroyed Seattle, and that crime and chaos is now spilling into rural towns like Odessa. Enough is enough.

The 2027 gun laws and red flag laws were the final straw — I was personally red-flagged and treated like a criminal even though I’ve never been convicted of any crime. COVID was another eye-opener: politicians locked us down for two years and treated people like criminals for not wanting the vaccine or wanting to go to church or fishing. All while the political elite still went to party's, flew jets around the country, blew our tax dollars on extravagant dinners to wine and dine future donners. If we let the same people keep running things, they’ll do it again, and again, and again.

I’m not a highly educated politician and I’m definitely not polished. I’m probably going to mis-speak, use the wrong words sometimes, and sound stupid now and then. Just because someone is educated doesn’t mean they’re intelligent. I don’t have script writers or a team proofreading everything I say. I’ve got my truck, my gun, and my dog — that’s it. No millions backing me, no massive following.

I talk like a normal person because I am one. If you’re going to dwell on every little mistake I make, then don’t vote for me — it doesn’t bother me. I’m gonna keep being me. I’m stepping up to fix this mess, then I’m getting out — just like the Founding Fathers intended. No lifelong politicians.

If you want a governor who tells it like it is, stands for freedom, protects the 2nd Amendment, backs our cops and military, supports farmers and small business, and actually lives like the people he serves — then I’m your guy.

I am a pagan who walks the path of my ancestors with deep conviction. I honor the old gods and live by the virtues of courage, reciprocity, community, truth, and personal responsibility.

My gods are curious, wise, and adventurous beings. They do not demand fearful exclusivity or punish honest exploration. Just as Odin wandered the worlds in search of wisdom, I believe true leadership requires gaining perspective from the people I serve.

Attending Jewish ceremonies, Christian services, Sikh gatherings, budist mediations or any other faith tradition as Governor is not disloyalty to my own gods — it is responsible leadership. It allows me to better understand and serve every Washingtonian, regardless of their beliefs.

I remain firmly rooted in my pagan faith and my own hearth practices. At the same time, I extend genuine hospitality and respect to all spiritual paths. My gods expect me to live honorably, and strengthen my community — nothing more, nothing less.

This is my guiding religious principle: Faithful to my path, open to understanding others, and committed to protecting the religious liberty of every Washingtonian — believer and non-believer alike.
