I am an from Eastern Kentucky born and raised in Pike Co., a husband of 12+ years and a father of 3. I am a dentist, a Shriner, Site Based Decision Making Board for Elkhorn City Elementary, Elkhorn City Council Member, Chair of Broadband Committee for Elkhorn City, Youth Chair of Pike Co Republican Party Executive committee, serve on board of directors for Pike Co Health Dept. I care deeply about our district and want to fight to represent us properly in Frankfort.
- The 94th district has been forgotten by politicians and our representatives in Frankfort for too long. I am the fighter to out us first!
- Our civil liberties and basic freedoms are being infringed upon more and more everyday, lets send someone to the capital that will truly fight for what we all believe in.
- Its time to stop decimating our energy production as well as diversify our local economies with tourism, industry and commerce so our youth dont have to leave home for career opportunities.
Pro: Life, 2nd Amendment, Civil Liberties and Freedoms, Coal, Parents' Choice, Military, Police, First Responders, Tourism in 94th District, Utilizing District industrial parks for industry and commerce, Fight against Vax/Mask Mandates, Fight in Frankfort so that we are no longer the forgotten District
My father. Graduated high-school and went straight to USAF, came home started driving coal/gravel truck, became a Kentucky State Trooper, went on to become a dentist (Dr. Justice later in life). Never gave up, provided for his family and persevered.
...somewhere in all this he worked in lumber yard and was also a substitute teacher. Hes my Hero and Mentor.
Honesty, being realistic, and making attainable plan for future of constituents.
Doing what is fair.
Twin Towers 09-11-01. I was in eighth grade history class. Our teacher Mr. Anderson stopped class, rolled in giant box TV cart, turned on the live coverage and told the class "you all need to watch, this is history in the making". It was scary and made a huge impact on me.
First job was cutting grass for family & locals at age 10-23
Bag boy at Quality Foods age 17
Life Guard at Elkhorn City Pool age 17-19
Dental assistant and Lab Tech age 14-23
Carpenter (Framing, Roofing and Flooring) 18-23
Equal representation and understanding.
Focusing on the rural areas that aren't metropolitan epicenters but lack in all basic measures of a quality life. Always forgotten Appalachian districts (Esp the 94TH District.)
It can be beneficial but definitely not a prerequisite to be an effective representative.
Absolutely!
Fair, by the letter of the law. Can stand up to all supreme court litigation.
Whatever is the will of the people.
Yes give and take is acceptable as long as you aren't compromising your core beliefs or the will of your constituents.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
