Why I’m Running
I didn’t need to run for Senate. My life was comfortable. I could have stayed on the sidelines, shaking my head at the news like everyone else. But when I look at what’s happening in Washington, and then I look at my own story, I realize I can’t stay silent anymore.
I’ve been blessed with opportunities that started on a Nebraska farm and took me around the world. I’ve built businesses across continents, negotiated with Russian businessmen, led a company on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), a division of the London Stock Exchange, and solved problems that most politicians only theorize about in committee hearings. But here’s what all that experience taught me. The common sense my parents instilled in me on our family farm was worth more than any boardroom strategy. And right now, Washington desperately needs less political theater and a lot more Nebraska common sense.
We Need Statesmen, Not Career Politicians
Washington is broken because it’s full of people who’ve never built anything, never made a payroll, never had to look a customer in the eye and deliver on a promise.
They’ve turned public service into personal profit, trading on their positions, getting rich while working families fall further behind. They care more about the next election than the next generation. They’ve forgotten that seeking office should mean serving your country and not enriching yourself.
I’m running because Nebraska deserves better. We deserve senators who show up, do the work, and keep their word. Leaders whose integrity isn’t negotiable. Representatives who answer to Nebraska families and not Washington lobbyists or special interest groups.
Real-World Solutions for Real-World Problems
I’ve spent my career solving problems, not making speeches about them. When I founded The Windsor Knot and grew it to 45 stores across Russia, I didn’t have consultants telling me what to do. I had to figure it out, build teams, navigate impossible challenges, and deliver results. When I led KeyWorld Investments, failure wasn’t an option. You either solved the problem or you lost.
That’s the approach I’m bringing to the Senate, not more talking points and not more empty promises. Real solutions based on real-world experience. Whether it’s securing our borders, cutting wasteful spending, protecting our farmers from DC overreach, or making healthcare and education affordable again, I know how to get things done.
Fighting for the Next Generation
Most importantly, I’m running for our kids. They deserve a country that’s freer, safer, and more prosperous than the one we inherited. They deserve leaders who keep their promises, who live with integrity, who put service above self-interest. They deserve an America where hard work still pays off, where young families can build a future, and where we’re respected as a force for good in the world.
I founded Foogal to tackle metabolic disease because I saw a problem that mattered. I’m running for Senate for the same reason. Washington has lost touch with everything that made America great, and Nebraska knows what normal looks like.
It’s time to make America normal again and that starts with sending problem-solvers, not politicians, to Washington.
