Candidate Survey 2026: What else would you like us to know about you?

“You don’t need to condone bad behaviour, to show folks you care. Make the right decisions. If you had loving parents, remember what they taught you. Have integrity. Do the right things even if no one is looking or filming you.”

I helped thousands of needy people, active and retired military and their families, and police through my non-profit work for nearly two decades.

I’m a first generation immigrant from Taiwan.

I raised my two daughters alone after my wife died and helped them become ethical, responsible, and contributing adults.

I like to use the rest of my time to give back.

I am a people person.  I have talks with groups coming up on the opposite side of my thoughts.  I’m not afraid to share my ideas.  I stand with my community and respect their rights, opinions and share mine.  This is what makes America great!  Because in Iran, you can’t do that.  If you do, the government will end your life at their discretion sadly.  So, experiences in life have formed where I stand.  I always like to stand on the idea for freedom of choice, not controlling people.

Moreover, I also enjoy railroading.  My wife and I like to take the handcar out giving rides to people at Niles Canyon Railway….and just ourselves running for 20-35 miles in a day.  It’s fun and great exercise.

In the past, I was involved with Search & Rescue.  That is why I obtained my EMT license in the past.  To help people.  Also I have been active in ham radio enjoying conversations, but also helping in times of need for emergency communications.

I’m not afraid of hard decisions, and I don’t back down from problems just because they’re complicated or unpopular.

At the end of the day, people are looking for someone they can count on—someone who’s steady, honest, and actually follows through. That’s who I am.

I’m already happy with what I have, and one term in the Senate would pay off my mortgage.

There is nothing in this world I want except to prevent it from being destroyed by complete idiots who are propelled to positions of responsibility by those who have been brainwashed by their televisions.

I am prepared to lose, but at least in running, I’m offering people an actual choice.

The Republicratic Party is a joke, same as the Demopublicans, and I’m already laughing my ass off at them.

I am running as a No Party Affiliation candidate because I believe our constitutional system depends on reasoned deliberation rather than party loyalty. My commitment to strict constitutionalism means that even when I personally believe a policy would produce good results, I cannot support it if the Constitution has not delegated that authority to the federal government. In those cases, the responsibility belongs to the states or to the people. That does not mean the federal government should sit on its hands. Within its enumerated powers, Congress has tremendous authority to promote the general welfare, encourage prosperity, provide for the common defense, regulate commerce among the several states and with foreign nations, and address national concerns in constitutional ways. My goal is not to weaken the federal government, but to ensure it remains strong where the Constitution makes it strong, restrained where the Constitution restrains it, and always accountable to the people it serves.

If elected, I will work to ensure veterans receive the benefits, health care, mental health services, housing support, and employment opportunities they have earned through their service. We have a solemn obligation to keep our promises to our veterans and military families. Too often, veterans face unnecessary barriers when accessing services they have earned. Congress must ensure that the VA is responsive, efficient, and focused on delivering high-quality care and support.

Leadership matters. Throughout my career, I have led by listening, bringing people together, making data-driven decisions, and delivering results. As a small business owner, financial professional, community leader, and former Hillsborough County Commissioner, I have earned a reputation for thoughtful leadership, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability. I believe effective leaders put service above politics, focus on solving problems rather than creating division, and remain committed to the people they represent.

If elected to Congress, I will bring that same practical, principled, and collaborative leadership to Washington on behalf of veterans, military families, seniors, workers, small businesses, and the communities of Florida’s 12th Congressional District. I will continue listening to constituents, building consensus where possible, standing firm on core principles when necessary, and always putting the public interest first.

This country is divided and it requires a next generation of conservative leadership and leadership guided by Christian faith and principles to bridge that divide.

At a time of such importance, we must elect a candidate who shares our Christian values here in FL-2 and has the relevant experience to step into the job on day one.

I graduated from Florida State University, the Southern Police Institute, and the FBI National Academy. I am married with four children and one grandchild.

That means pursuing reforms such as term limits, banning congressional stock trading, strengthening residency requirements, and preventing members from using public office as a stepping stone to personal enrichment. Public service should be about serving the public.

I am not going to Washington simply to pass laws. I am going to help change the culture. Our government was designed to represent the people, not special interests, lobbyists, or entrenched power. We need a Congress that listens more than it lectures, collaborates more than it attacks, and puts Americans ahead of politics.

At the same time, we must confront one of the greatest threats to our nation’s future: our unsustainable national debt. Washington’s addiction to deficit spending is placing an enormous burden on future generations and threatening the long-term strength of our economy. Every dollar borrowed today is a bill handed to our children tomorrow. We must bring greater fiscal discipline to Congress by banning pork-barrel spending, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, and ending the culture of backroom deals that drives unnecessary spending.

We should also restore proper balance between federal, state, and local government. Too much power and too many taxpayer dollars have been concentrated in Washington, far from the communities that understand local needs best. By returning greater authority and resources to state and local governments, we can improve accountability, reduce inefficiency, and ensure that hard-earned taxpayer dollars are spent closer to home and with greater responsibility.

At the same time, we must hold powerful corporations accountable when they pollute our environment, exploit workers, suppress competition, or place profits above the public good. My goal is to help restore a government that works for the people and a nation that can once again find common purpose despite our differences.

Sad that had to be said, but what I am for is:

Universal health care
Pre K through college
Housing first
Food security
Living wage/UBI
Non violence/anti war
Giving US territories full rights

That the Epstein Papers came out, and the mainstream of the US stays in lock step with the duopoly is amazing to me. The US schooling propaganda is second to none.

If you want to know more about me, I started a non profit called Hapa Mana in 2016. Look it up with my name on Google and YouTube if you want to see who I am.

My letter to Mayor Mamdani also introduces my book “Universal Equity-based Healthcare (EBH) . . .” As shown by its Balance Sheet, EBH is a 3-tier payout system on medical claims that costs a fraction of what Gov’mt is spending on healthcare. Yet it covers everyone, you cannot go into debt and has, an “annuity component.”  EBH combines the private and gov’mt sectors, with the private sector based on the “whole life insurance” business model. You can see the book at The-Protect-America-Project.ORG.

I am a man who was abandoned as a 2 1/2-month-old child and by the grace of God, given the integrity and knowledge to overcome extremely challenging battles as a young man.

During covid, I sued the TSA, CDC and 5 Major airlines, without counsel (pro-se), over their unconstitutional mask mandates for the transportation industry. The DHS, just two days after filing suit against the TSA, placed me on the terrorist watchlist.

It is for this, and many other reasons that deal with federal government overreach, that I have decided to step up and challenge our government and its current officials, who are running our country off the cliff.

As a Congressional candidate, Berney was endorsed by “Veterans For America First” (alternatively known as Veterans for Trump) and Legacy “PAC”.

While others may offer comfort through traditional dogmas, I am offering the hard, necessary work of rebuilding our Public Trust. Our nation’s success depends on our ability to trust in the objective reality provided by our scientific, medical, and legal institutions. When we lose faith in these pillars, we lose the social glue that holds a Republic together.

My goal is to establish a unified civic foundation—a modern ‘Civil Religion’ where our commonalities as citizens always outweigh our private differences. I am running to ensure that Maryland’s 3rd District moves past the ideological battles of the ‘Scopes Trial’ era and into a future defined by reason, technological progress, and a restored Social Contract. I am not asking for your vote based on a partisan label, but on a shared blueprint for our collective survival and evolution.

If you consider yourself a Patriot and you have detailed ideas and understand government; then run for office.

School Boards, City Councils, Mayors, County, State, Judges and Federal.

Run for Office.

WE can replace all public officials in 6 years and we need to DO exactly that.

YOU are the Leader America has been waiting for.

I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, equal treatment under the law, secure borders, military readiness, fiscal responsibility, and government accountability. I will not support policies that divide Americans by race, sex, class, or political ideology. My position is simple: restore merit, protect liberty, put Americans first, and make government answer to the people again.

*******

Don Brown is a former United States Navy JAG Officer who served in the Pentagon, a former Special Assistant United States Attorney and a Publishers Weekly national best-selling author.

​The author of 16 books, four of which achieved national bestseller status, in the past 10 years, Don has fought on the front lines of the battle for freedom, working as an author, a constitutional lawyer, and a former United States Navy JAG officer.

​Don has battled leftist tyranny on four separate national fronts, including:

Battling for America’s fighting men and women against the democrats’ woke and liberal Rules of Engagement that got Americans killed;

Fighting election fraud from the 2020 national presidential election, serving on three separate legal teams seeking to expose the truth of what clearly appears to be a stolen election;

Battling unconstitutional vaccination and mask mandates, where Don brought federal litigation for 78 Americans to block Biden’s unconstitutional vaccination mandates, and

Serving as an outspoken advocate and attorney on behalf of January 6 Patriots, whom the left tried to destroy with a massive, vicious, unconstitutional prosecutorial scheme.

Don is one of only a small handful of constitutional lawyers in the country who has received not one but two presidential pardons for patriot clients from President Donald J. Trump, with both clients, Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance and J-6 Patriot Elliot Bishay, being targeted by democrat political prosecutions. Don has advised other J-6 political prisoners as well, helping them to restore their lives in the wake of the democrats’ illegal and unconstitutional fedsurrection.

Don’s 2015 military exposé, CALL SIGN EXTORTION 17: The Shootdown of SEAL Team Six, exposed the shoot-down of a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan in 2011, killing 30 Americans, including 17 members of Seal Team Six. The book attacked the Obama Administration’s suicidal rules of engagement in Afghanistan. It served as a basis for the 2021 docu-drama movie FALLEN ANGEL: Extortion 17, released by Salem Media. Don appears in the film alongside Sean Hannity, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

​Don has made numerous national media appearances on outlets such as Fox News, the Sean Hannity Show, Fox and Friends, Real Americas Voice, One America News, has appeared as a keynote speaker at the Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon Presidential Libraries, and has written dozens of conservative editorials, on websites such as Fox News, The Washington Times, the New York Post, The Federalist, the Blaze, American Thinker, and others.

In February 2025, Don authorized his campaign team to file paperwork with the FEC to prepare for entering the race for the 2026 Republican nomination for the United States Senate from North Carolina.

As an engineer, I approach public policy by identifying root causes rather than symptoms. One of the clearest structural problems in Washington is that Congress has no real incentive to control spending. We expect lawmakers to police themselves, but that is like asking a teenager to ground himself while the parents are away. My proposal is simple: reward measurable spending reductions so fiscal discipline is incentivized, not merely promised.

Over the last century, incremental forms of socialism have blended into our economic system under the banner of compassion and reform. Fabian Socialism, whose historic symbol is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, openly advocated gradual transformation rather than open revolution. Today we see the consequences of slow expansion of centralized power, regulatory overreach, and fiscal irresponsibility.

Pruning that influence out of our institutions will not be easy, but it can be done. With disciplined reform, restored incentives, and renewed constitutional limits, we can strengthen both liberty and prosperity.

I believe marijuana should be legalized. (Even tho I don’t use it). I know plenty of vets who do. It keeps them from drowning in a bottle.

I believe non violent felons should have their records automatically expunged. Without the expenditure of court cost and fees.

In February, 2026 I opposed Trump’s War in Iran.

I have continued that tradition of service in my own way. I have been a member of Civil Air Patrol for more than two decades and am a life member of the Air Force Association. I also spent nearly 13 years as a federal employee working in civil rights and civil liberties, where I saw firsthand the importance of constitutional protections, due process, government accountability, and effective oversight.

I am also an educator and longtime community volunteer, and I am running for Congress as an Independent. I will not agree with every organization or political party on every issue, and I don’t expect voters to agree with me on everything. What I can promise is that I will listen, examine the evidence, respect the Constitution, support those who serve our country, and put the people I represent ahead of party politics and special interests.

I openly oppose what I call the Liberal Agenda to Weaken America (LAWA) because I believe many of these policies undermine faith, family, personal responsibility, free speech, and the constitutional principles our nation was founded upon.

I stand firmly on the founding principles of our country — individual liberty, equal treatment under the law, limited government, and accountability — and I will not compromise those principles for political convenience. Voters may not always agree with me, but they will always know where I stand.

In 2011 I traveled to New York and occupied Wall Street at Zuccotti Park in solidarity with the 99 percent. Back home in Reno I stood up against institutional racism in the police department, which helped lead to the firing of Chief Pitts and others. I have a long record of showing up and fighting power when it abuses everyday people.

I am not a career politician. I am running for Congress to be a consistent voice for limited government and individual liberty.

National Defense
America is strong when our nation is secure. Kailee believes in “peace through strength” which prioritizes U.S. military superiority and readiness. Kailee supports a strong and mutually beneficial U.S.-Israel relationship.

Veterans
Kailee Buller believes that those who have served our country deserve unwavering support when they return home. Veterans should have timely access to quality healthcare, good-paying jobs, and the resources they need to transition successfully into civilian life. Too often, bureaucratic delays and inefficiencies stand in the way of the benefits they’ve earned. In Congress, Kailee will work to cut through that red tape, strengthen support services, and ensure that every veteran and their family receives the respect, care, and opportunities they’ve earned.

I’m not here for the title, I’m here to fight in the trenches.

Ultimately, public office is not about power  it is about stewardship. If elected, my commitment is to uphold the Constitution, protect the freedoms of the American people, and ensure government operates with discipline, transparency, and accountability. I will approach the role with humility, independence, and a clear understanding that elected officials are servants of the people, not rulers over them.

I have personally overcome many of the challenges families across our district face housing insecurity, women’s health struggles, and the difficult work of building a business from nothing. I homeschooled my children, supported my daughter through college, and worked to break generational cycles that keep people trapped in dependency instead of walking in purpose.

I understand what it means when politics gives people just enough to keep them where they are using access as a leash instead of a ladder. I want more for this district, and I will not falter under the weight of this responsibility. Under the shield of resilience, I will work to rebuild faith in the American Dream.

I will bring respect and transparency back to this office, because government should be respected and the seat entrusted by this Republic demands leaders who take full ownership of the responsibility given to them by the people. Government should do fewer things better.

Highly ambitious in solving the issues in family law, social security, VA, and education.

I want to see our military remain honorable and strong, that veterans and retirees are well taken care of after service, and this country’s strength is the icon across the world we can all be proud of.

Jonathan Lockwood has not only built relationships with influential figures in American politics — he’s earned their respect by delivering real solutions. From meeting with national reform-leaders like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to working hands-on in Oregon’s 5th District, Jonathan is driven by one goal: putting people above politics.

My campaign is focused on restoring public safety, supporting law enforcement, addressing the drug epidemic in Kensington, cleaning up our neighborhoods, defending constitutional rights, protecting medical freedom, securing our border, and bringing federal resources back to the district for recovery, economic development, and real community improvement.

I was an undergraduate math major who went on to work in and around the utility industry before going back to business school.

I graduated from MIT’s Sloan School with a major in Finance and went to work on Wall Street.
I spent most of my career in various roles in finance, from bond trading and portfolio management to over a decade in product development and risk management.

I was the senior risk manager for a $450 billion business at BlackRock in 2012, when the credit ratings of several European banks were downgraded due to the stresses in their nations’ economies. I made sure we were nimble in reallocating our investments while operating within our guidelines. We made it through that without a scratch, but I saw that the market does not abide bad credits.

This gives me a different, more realistic view of the world than the candidate from the Democrat party.

I’ve worked in the private sector as a small business owner, and I understand what it takes to make payroll, create jobs, and navigate government regulations. That experience has shaped my approach in public service: practical, accountable, and focused on results rather than rhetoric.

In my time on Mount Pleasant Town Council and in the South Carolina House of Representatives, I’ve learned the importance of listening to constituents, working across differences when possible, and standing firm on core principles when necessary. I don’t view public office as a platform for ideology, but as a responsibility to solve problems and improve people’s lives.

Above all, I believe in preserving opportunity for the next generation. My motivation for serving is simple: I want my children, and every child in our district, to have the chance to work hard, build a future here at home, and achieve the American Dream.

As a candidate for the United States Senate from Texas, I am deeply committed to revitalizing rural healthcare, restoring local control, and ensuring that seniors and vulnerable Texans receive high-quality, accessible care. With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in Texas healthcare—managing family medicine clinics, hospitalist groups, wound care and hyperbaric centers, and surgical systems, and as a co-owner of American Star Home Health & Hospice Care—I bring real-world insight into the challenges facing rural hospitals, patients, and providers.

Key Challenge: Rural Hospitals in Crisis

Rural healthcare in Texas is at a breaking point:

25 rural hospitals in Texas have closed over the past 20 years

Since 2015, 108 hospitals nationwide have shut down—14 in Texas alone

82 Texas hospitals are currently at risk of closure, including 21 at immediate risk

Hospital closures are linked to higher inpatient mortality and disproportionately harm seniors who depend on geriatric and chronic care services

When rural hospitals close, entire communities lose access to emergency care, inpatient services, and local jobs—forcing Texans to travel hours for basic medical treatment.

Policy Solution: Reviving Rural Hospitals

As U.S. Senator, I will work to:

Reopen closed rural hospitals where feasible

Stabilize at-risk facilities through targeted federal and state support

Reduce regulatory burdens that push rural hospitals toward closure

Prioritize geriatric care, palliative care, and local emergency services

Ensure no Texas community loses access to essential healthcare infrastructure

Supporting Policies for Healthcare Revival

Reimbursement Reform

Advocate for higher reimbursement rates for hospitals, physicians, nurses, and home-based providers

Align Medicare Advantage payments with Traditional Medicare

Incentivize private insurers to fairly reimburse rural healthcare providers

Strengthen rural pharmacies to preserve local access to medications

Prescription Drug & PBM Reform

Rein in Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and eliminate hidden fees and spread pricing

Support direct drug price negotiations and expand access to generics and biosimilars

Incentivize locally owned rural pharmacies to deliver affordable care

Insurance & Access Improvements

Increase competition to lower premiums

Support association health plans for small businesses

Roll back regulations that inflate costs or restrict local care options

Local Control & Patient-Centered Care

Restore decision-making to patients, providers, and community hospitals

Reduce dependence on distant HMO corporations and federal bureaucracies

Impact

Revitalizing rural hospitals will protect Texas seniors, improve geriatric outcomes, and strengthen community health infrastructure. These reforms will stabilize rural providers, reduce healthcare costs, and expand access in underserved areas—while reinforcing America First principles of local solutions, economic stewardship, and empowering Texans to make their own healthcare decisions.

I believe in constitutional government, civilian control of the military, equal justice under the law, and a strong national defense rooted in readiness and merit. I support secure borders, lawful immigration, and policies that put American citizens first while upholding our values.

Above all, I believe public service is about responsibility, not ideology. If elected, I will approach the office the same way I approach medicine: focused on facts, committed to high standards, and accountable to the people I serve.

He served for 4 years as the State Chaplain for the Republican Party of Texas, 2 years as the State Republican Executive Committeeman from Senate District 5. He has fought for conservative principles in school districts, the TX state legislature and in national politics. He was an at-large (statewide) alternate delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention and an elected delegate from Williamson County to the 2020 Republican National Convention.  After Trump became the Republican nominee, Jeremy was asked and agreed to serve on President Trump’s spiritual advisory team during his first campaign for the White House. Jeremy has also served as a precinct chair and Chaplain of the Williamson County Republican Party.

Jeremy has also been the target of progressive elected leaders attempting to silence him. He has stood up boldly. He became the subject of national news when he stood up to a Superintendent who assaulted a principal. The Superintendent had impregnated her and threatened her in order to coerce her to have an abortion. The intent of his aggression was to induce abortion. He stood up to the same school board when they locked parents out of school board meetings using district police. As a result the district unlawfully catalyzed his arrest and jailing. The charges were dropped after a lengthy battle and Jeremy is now suing the school district in Federal court for constitutional rights violations and open meetings act violations. Jeremy knows what it means to stand for what is right.  He isn’t just talk.  He is a man of action.

Jeremy has started and built small businesses as well as helped others to do so.  He and his wife presently own and operate a full service restaurant that serves up scratch made southern dishes. They also operate a large event center and lodge for weddings, quinceañeras, anniversaries, business trainings, and more.

He has served as the national President of Campus Renewal and Every Student Sent. As a result, he knows education, youth and college culture on a personal level and corporate level.  For over 28 years he has worked to encourage and train leaders to fervently pray and work together to transform colleges. Jeremy has worked with hundreds of campuses and has personally traveled to over 40 states and worked on 5 continents towards this vision.  Along the way he has consulted for and trained hundreds of CEO’s, regional leaders and local campus ministers of collegiate non-profits.

Jeremy has served extensively on national boards. He formerly served on America’s National Prayer Committee and the National Day of Prayer (~14 years).  He presently serves on the the Executive Board of Intercessors for America. He also co-founded and is on the board of the Collegiate Day of Prayer which has mobilized churches and groups to adopt every one of our nation’s over 4,000 campuses in prayer.

I have also earned advanced degrees in pastoral ministry, ministerial leadership, and public policy, culminating in a doctorate in public policy. I believe effective representation requires both real-world experience and a solid understanding of public policy and constitutional government.

Above all, I want to be known as someone who keeps his word. If elected, I will listen to my constituents, vote according to my principles, remain accessible to the people I represent, and always place the interests of Virginia’s 7th District and the United States above politics or personal ambition. I do not claim to have all the answers, but I will work hard every day to earn the trust that the voters place in me.

In the state senate, I’ve served as Ranking Member on Energy, Environment & Technology; on Higher Education & Workforce Development; Ways & Means, and I chair or co‑chair caucuses dedicated to supply chains, aviation, clean fuels, and science and technology. As a tenured cybersecurity professor who founded the Cybersecurity program at Columbia Basin College and led the effort to earn NSA recognition for excellence in cyber defense, I have worked directly on national security-grade education and workforce development for our region.  I also serve on the Attorney General’s Artificial Intelligence Task Force and the Governor’s Task Force on Data Centers, where I focus on leveraging emerging technologies, such as advanced nuclear, hydrogen, AI, and data centers, to strengthen our military, critical infrastructure, grid reliability, and economic development.

I share STARRS’ mission to eliminate CRT/DEI/woke ideology from the U.S. military and to restore a warfighter ethos grounded in meritocracy, lethality, readiness, accountability, standards, and excellence.  If elected, I will be a proven, local conservative voice who knows this district’s bases, energy assets, and agricultural communities, and I will work with STARRS to craft legislation and oversight that protect our servicemembers, secure our borders, and keep America’s military the most lethal and cohesive fighting force in the world.

I believe military readiness must come before political ideology, government must respect individual rights and due process, and every federal agency must be accountable for how it uses taxpayer dollars and exercises its authority.

As an Independent, I am free to evaluate each issue on its merits and work with anyone who is serious about protecting liberty, restoring constitutional limits, lowering costs, and delivering measurable results. I will not place party loyalty above my duty to the Constitution or the people I represent.
