Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a husband, father, pastor, and businessman. I've lived my whole life in Alabama's 2nd district. I went to Faulkner University in Montgomery where I was an All-American pitcher. After I left school I started my own company, Custom Floor Covering, and we do work across the southeast. I was also selected by my congregation to be the preacher at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. I preach there every Sunday. Along the way I married my girlfriend Amber, and we have a son named Pratt who I pick up from school every day I'm not on the campaign trail. I decided to run for congress because I saw what the left is doing to this country with their socialist ideas, and I knew that was I fight I couldn't pass up.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I want to back up President Trump in the fight against the socialist left.
• I want to represent and provide for the farmers and military members of the district.
• I want to show young people that is okay to be a conservative.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Cutting regulations, stopping illegal immigration, improving education, providing for veterans, making our military as strong as possible.

Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Alabama

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.
