Eight years ago, Warner moved from his home state of Ohio to his forever home of Indiana with his wife and now three hoosier-born kids. He attended the University of Cincinnati and graduated magna cum laude in Journalism. Warner has always been passionate about giving back. He spent time as a journalist before spending a brief time as an inner city teacher at a charter school in Cincinnati. After moving back to Ohio, he founded a nonprofit committed to improving the lives of dogs and dog owners who could not afford proper training. From there, he took a steady career path through sales and into entrepreneurship. He's been blessed to serve the city of Indianapolis over the last 8 years as a small business owner.
- Because the government has no right to your money and they have been irresponsible with it for far too long, we should work towards a voluntary system of taxation. If the government wants to fund a project, we will fund it voluntarily if it fits our needs and budgets.
- The right to own a gun to protect yourself from criminals or a tyrannical government is not only codified in our Constitution in plain English, it is an extension of the natural right to self-defense. In Congress, I will work vigorously to reject any further attempts to restrict access to guns.
- People should be free to do with their bodies and their property as they please. Our prison rates are embarrassing and will drop dramatically if you elect me and fellow Libertarians to office.
I am passionate about stripping the government of power and ending American in-fighting. I want to empower individuals to live life as they see fit. Every policy I will fight for and legislate will be with the aim of increasing your property rights, your right to self-ownership, and to promote the idea of non-aggression (not using the threat of force or prison to live your life a certain way).
The Ethics of Liberty by Murray Rothbard.
An understanding of Henry David Thoreau's principe "that government is best which governs least."
I have an intense drive to not only succeed, but to help others. I am intellectually curious and believe that dialogue is how we solve our problems. I'm a firm believer that people are good which is sadly an uncommon belief today.
I would like to be known as someone who is strong in his principles even in the face of intense scrutiny.
The first one I remember clearly was 9/11. I was in religion class in my high school when someone came running into the room saying that the twin towers were hit. We turned on the news coverage and watched as the second tower got hit. I wasn't mature enough to feel the full gravity of the moment, but I remember the confusion in the classroom.
I washed dishes at local Italian restaurant when I was 16. I still remember it as the most difficult job I've ever had. I'd always get a free pizza with every shift and when I was young that made it all worthwhile.
At this point it's a detriment. There's always an advantage to knowing procedures, your colleagues, and your way around the building, but government has become detached from the people it governs. The people who are making the biggest impact in the House right now are people from unconventional backgrounds who have strong, passionate beliefs. We need fresh insight and new perspectives if we want people to trust the government again.
We need to find a way to mend the social fabric that is tearing. We need to find a way to unite as Americans
I'd like to be a part of the House Small Business Committee. As someone with extensive experience in small business (I'm currently running two and I grew up in a small accounting firm owned by my dad), I know that small business is really the engine that drives this economy. I've seen uniquely how the government strangles small businesses rather than nurturing it. I'd love to reverse that trend.
My tendency is to let the market decide. If people want their current representative, they should be able to keep them.
Justin Amash and Thomas Massie are admirable members of the House right now. They are intelligent, hard-working, and most importantly they have strong, sound principles.
