Honored and humbled to be endorsed by the Alabama Republican Assembly. Thank you for endorsing real conservatives.

On the campaign trail, I often refer to my Pentagon experience in the tough Air Staff budget process when I advocate for Alabama budget reform. However, I have not ever written or even talked much about my surviving the terrorist attack by American Flight 77 hijackers on the Pentagon on 9/11. First, it's not something I did to deserve much of anything. Second, I long carried a guilt for the fear that I felt that day at that terrorist attack - exactly what the enemy wanted. Finally, words fail me to express how this was the most significant emotional event of my life. I, my brothers and sisters in arms, my capitol, my country was being brutally attacked by those who hated everything for which the United States stands - all created equal with rights endowed by the Creator, not the government. Suffice it to say. I have never forgotten that day - or my oath to protect what they attacked. I have since internalized God's most frequent admonition in His Word, "Fear not". "I am with you always." "If I am with you, who can prevail against you." Today, I stand before the voters of Madison County and ask, "Whom shall we fear?" Let us boldly proclaim truth for those willing to listen.
