"I was raised in a family of conservative Eastern Plains Democrats. My granddad is a Democrat, my father is a Democrat. In high school, I registered as a Democrat, as well. In college, I realized that the values I was raised with and ideals that I believe in were aligned with conservative Republican values and ideals.

"While in college at CSU in 1996, I interned with a Republican State Representative, Russ George. When I attended law school, I joined the Federalist Society, a conservative student and national association, eventually becoming the president of its local chapter. Around the same time, I changed my party registration to accurately reflect my beliefs.  I am proud to have traveled a journey similar to that of Ronald Reagan."
