Leading with the common good in mind ensures we prioritize doing no harm to anyone, careful decision making and taking the time to make decisions that avoid unintended dark consequences.

The principles, values, and beliefs shared by Vote Common Good are traits I align with and on how I govern in my current public role – building trust with constituents and successfully winning re-election with comfortable margins. The Six Commitments shared by Vote Common Good are what I try to live by and promote to students I serve of all ages. As a school board member, I have waived the small compensation offered to us and I love serving to improve the lives of our children.

I am committed to governing in a way that treats people with dignity and respect, and strengthens community bonds. That means prioritizing policies that balance individual needs with the well-being of the broader community, and ensuring policy decisions are guided by fairness, long-term benefit, and shared responsibility.

I am running for Congress to put an end to the divisive politics that only serves party bosses and special interests. The common good means putting Iowans first.

We lead with love not with hate. Real leaders know how to inspire others with the power of their integrity, to do the right thing even when it is hard. We will fight the good fight together on the foundation of love and seek out true peace. We will serve the people because that’s the right thing to do. Our people need access to healthcare regardless of their economic status. Our people need access to necessitates like food, clean water and respect. It’s my duty to serve them.

I see the common good as the compass for every decision. It means governing in a way that lifts working families, protects the vulnerable, and builds a future where everyone has a fair shot, not just the well connected.

I’m focused on actively working to introduce commonsense, practical ideas for solutions-based policies that will help create a brighter future for everyone – a future where daily life is more affordable, safer, healthier – built on a foundation of freedom, opportunity, dignity, and security for all Americans. I’m passionate about building bridges across our communities by focusing on our shared values. Join our Commonsense Movement.

I support interfaith collaboration on key issues like homelessness, poverty, and social justice, recognizing that faith-based organizations are vital in addressing these challenges. I’m committed to ensuring that government respects and uplifts the diverse religious traditions of our residents, advocating for policies that protect religious freedom while promoting the common good.

I will actively seek and implement solutions across issues like affordability, immigration, healthcare, and criminal justice reform that demonstrably improve the collective quality of life for all people in our district, prioritizing the public good above party loyalty or personal gain.

It is the promise of our American heritage that our government shoudl act in te common good. Beginning with the Mayflower Compact and being woven into our founding documents–the idea that we could govern ourselves was based on the concept of acting in the common interest.

As a person of faith I am called to work for the common good, and to act on behalf of those who are pushed aside and living on the margins of society. This is the principle that guides my policy making decisions at the Iowa legislature and will continue to be as I advocate for national policies.

My approach is shaped by years of listening to and working alongside the people of my district. Using the common good as my compass means making decisions that elevate the well-being of the entire district—ensuring every voice is heard, every resident is respected, and our shared future is built on collaboration, fairness, and accountability.

Too often of politics serves the wealthy and well-connected, not the majority of working Iowans and the common good for our our communities. I got into politics because to be a fighter for the people who need a voice in our government. As elected leaders, we must ask ourselves how every decision we make actually improves the lives of Iowans in our district.

I will govern the way I live my life, with empathy, respect, and love for everyone. I will embody the most important words of the Pledge of Allegiance, “with liberty and justice for ALL.”

I will govern by putting Liberty County families first, fighting for policies that benefit the many and not the few. This starts with the needs of our neighbors, not the demands of special interests or political insiders.

If and when elected my primary principle in serving my community is to uphold the common good in all I do.

I envision using common good as a guiding principle by having the decency, integrity, and courage to stand up for what is right. I know what true service means I learned that from my time in the military – it means having the integrity to do the right thing even when it is a difficult thing.

I’m running for Congress because I believe our house is on fire and we can’t put it out with Dixie cups. I care supremely about the world that I leave my children, and I see the hate that the current government uses to destroy democracy, due process, scientific advancements, education, constitutional rights, and more. The common good–or, as Jews call it, Tikkun Olam–has been and will always be my guiding principle for governance.

I will use the common good as a guiding principle by making decisions rooted in fairness, justice, and compassion, ensuring that every action taken in government improves the lives of working families and builds a more inclusive New Mexico.

I generally consider the common good in all I do personally and professionally. Our current Secretary of State is very corrupt, and I want our state to have better overall voter turnout.

I believe that being an elected official means comporting yourself with integrity and decency in all areas of your life. From my personal life to the policies I vote for and endorse, prioritizing the common good of my constituents and all those affected by legislation being considered will be my first priority. Policy is both shaped by public opinion and a driver of it, and I firmly believe that promoting policy that acts for the common good is vital to healing the vitriolic political divisions that currently plague our country.

If elected, I will govern using the common good as a guiding principle by prioritizing policies that protect people, prevent harm, and strengthen the well-being of the entire community. My focus is on solutions that create safety, fairness, and opportunity without sacrificing dignity or compassion.

The common good is our faith in each other, protecting families of all shapes and sizes, and preserving our freedom as Americans and Arkansans.

I envision using the common good as a guiding principle by ensuring that every decision is rooted in honesty, accountability, integrity, and unity. By listening closely to residents and prioritizing policies that uplift all families, especially those too often overlooked, I will work to create solutions that strengthen our neighborhoods and move our entire community forward together.

We have to address that fascism exists and have to start fighting fire with fire and legislate policies to hold these extreme politicians accountable with extreme consequences.

I’m running for office because I believe we are all better together and should be building one another up. I lead with love and empathy and believe if we all come together we can create a better place for our youth and ourselves. I align with Common Good principles on equality and a voice for all people and will continue these principles in office.

I believe the common good should be the foundation of every policy and decision. If elected, I will use it as a compass to ensure that laws, budgets, and initiatives serve not just a few, but uplift the well-being, dignity, and opportunity of all members of our community.

Scripture teaches us to love our neighbor, a principle I believe our policies and politics should reflect. My faith shows that when we care for the sick and feed the hungry, we’re doing God’s work. It’s a big reason why I fight for healthcare, childcare, and housing — policies that uplift all of us and make our community stronger.

As a veteran Officer of the US Navy I will uphold the rights of the Constitution and ensure there are safeguards to protect the principles of our democracy. I will support free and fair elections, due process under the law, and equity for all.

As a person of Christian faith, God has been at the center of my life and practice. I have built a midsize law firm based on the core values of courage, compassion, integrity, and value. These are all different ways of describing our mutual obligation as humans to work for our mutual benefit.

promoting love forward

The principles and values inherent in the common good closely align with my personal core values and the focus of my Congressional campaign: a commitment to fixing a rigged system. This transcends the partisan left-versus-right that hasn’t worked for the people of Iowa; it is a unified stance against the established order, corruption, and the over-concentration of power. I am committed to Iowa’s core: the families, the seniors, the veterans, the farmers, and the workers, to guarantee a fair opportunity for everyone. It is time to bring Iowa values back to Washington and secure a voice that cannot be bought, bullied, or ignored.

I will strive to always consider the broader effects of legislation upon the public, rather than narrow interests, and will oppose bills that I believe will do more harm than good.
