Ran for U. S. Senate, Lands Commissioner for the State of Washington/ and involved in a second run for the 4th Congressional District of Washington State. After serving on the WA State Farm Service Agency for eight years under George W. Bush and as a farmer, I realized I was part of the problem and have declined to take any further subsidies from the Federal Government.

Additional comment from candidate:

I strongly believe in a limited federal government. The 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights says States rights supersede the Federal government, but the heavy hand of the Federal government is usurping States authority by threatening Federal funds due them if they do not comply with Federal mandates. We need strong principled federal representatives that are willing to uphold individual liberty as their highest political value even if it means loss of their elected position. God will bless America when Americans bless God!
