Originally from Clarksville, Tennessee, Jeremy served seven years in the U.S. Army, including four on active duty in Special Operations as a Tactical PSYOP Sergeant with 4th PSYOP Group, 9th Battalion, C Company out of Fort Bragg, NC. He is Airborne qualified, trained in Spanish, and completed two combat deployments to Afghanistan and one humanitarian mission to Haiti.

He’s not a career politician—he’s your neighbor, and he’s ready to take back our House.

Core Values

In the Army, leadership is built on action, not just words. As a Psychological Operations Sergeant, I was trained to lead decisively, communicate with purpose, and navigate complex situations with clarity and focus. We learned that integrity earns trust, courage drives progress, empathy builds connection, and accountability keeps us grounded. These aren’t just military values—they’re leadership values, and they’re exactly what I’ll bring to Congress.

Integrity means doing what’s right—even when it’s inconvenient, unpopular, or unnoticed. For a politician, integrity is about honesty, consistency, and moral courage. It means keeping your word, owning your mistakes, and refusing to be bought, swayed, or silenced by special interests. A leader with integrity doesn’t chase headlines or polls—they follow a compass rooted in truth, accountability, and service to the public good.

Courage in a politician means standing firm in the face of pressure, speaking hard truths, and making decisions that serve the people—not just the powerful. It’s the willingness to challenge broken systems, confront injustice, and lead with conviction, even when it’s risky or unpopular. True courage is not about bravado; it’s about showing up every day for what’s right, especially when it’s hardest.

Empathy is the ability to truly listen, understand, and care about what people are going through—even when their experiences are different from your own. Empathy means putting yourself in others’ shoes, shaping policy with compassion, and fighting for those whose voices are too often ignored. It’s not weakness—it’s the strength to lead with heart, humility, and humanity.

Accountability means owning your decisions and standing behind your actions—win or lose. For a politician, it’s about being transparent with the public, answering tough questions, and never hiding behind excuses or blame. True accountability builds trust. It means putting the people’s interest first and ensuring government works for the public, not just behind closed doors.
