I was informed that primary voting turnout has been, well, underwhelming so far. So, this evening, I’m not asking you to vote for me. I’m asking you to vote for something bigger than any one person.
Vote for the idea that your voice matters.
Vote for the belief that this nation belongs to all of us.
Vote for the enduring promise of democracy.
Even if you walk into that booth uncertain… even if you don’t feel inspired by a single name on the ballot… your vote still speaks. It says: I believe in America. It says: I will not be silent. It says: This system, this republic, is worth showing up for.
Every ballot cast is a quiet act of gratitude—for the generations who built this country from nothing, for the founders who dared to imagine it, and for the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and stood watch, often far from home, to defend it. Your vote is a 'Thank you!' to them and families that serve right along with them. Men and women of our nation's military are serving on battlefields this very moment, putting their lives on the line for us and for our collective American ideals.
When you vote, you honor them.
When you vote, you strengthen us.
When you vote, you keep the American story alive.
A muscle not utilized will atrophy. So GO FLEX your democratic muscles. If not before May 5th, please plan to do so on that day, Primary Election Day. Vote. Not just for a candidate.
Vote for your country and mine. 🇺🇸
Thank you and God Bless!
