Having been awarded the BronzeStar and two Purple Hearts for my time in Vietnam, I witnessed greatsacrifices by my fellow Americans and pledged to ensure their effortswould not be in vain.

    As your Congressman, Ive honored that commitment by fighting fora balanced budget, for our veterans, to keep jobs in America, and todefend our way of life.

    I fought to pass a balanced budget plan to reduce the deficit by $4.6trillion over the next ten years, strengthen Americas economy, andprotect Medicare for seniors. I voted over ten times to defund, delay,and replace Obamacare.

    I fought to restore the Cost of Living Adjustment for ALL veteransand for the in-state college tuition rate they deserve. I supported theKeystone pipeline because it would put 20,000 Americans to work.

    In Inyo County, Ive worked to ensure that public lands are used forthe public good. That means allowing use of places like Death ValleyNational Park for events and races which help our local economy.

    Im honored my work has earned the endorsements of USRepresentative Tom McClintock, Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze, andInyo County Board of Supervisors Chairman Rick Pucci.
