“I’ve watched my brother turn some of the hardest moments of his life into a reason to TRULY SERVE others. Living with PTSD isn’t something he hides — it’s something he’s transformed into purpose. He takes the same strength, discipline, and empathy that carried him through his military service and channels it into helping others heal, rebuild, and be heard.
Running for State Senate isn’t about politics for him — it’s about uplifting people. He’s proof that pain doesn’t have to break you; it can shape you into the kind of leader who listens, understands, and acts with heart.”
MIKE IS READY TO SERVE
