I want to bring back our conservative American values and America First policy to the forefront of this office. We need to replace career politicians with candidates who will fight for the people, our Country, and protect our Constitution. I am The American Dream. Immigrating here as a child in 1980 from USSR, fleeing political and religious persecution, I experienced both totalitarianism in USSR and freedom in America, instilling a true appreciation for America as the land of liberty and opportunity. With the loss of energy independence, the crisis at our borders, propaganda and cancel culture in the media, indoctrination of our children, destruction of small business, skyrocketing inflation, shortages of goods, as well as attacks on our American values, our Constitution, and our freedom, I cannot sit quietly and let it happen. I understand firsthand the devastation that it will create within this country and to its people. I was elected as a Republican US Congressional candidate in 2020 in the PA-5 district, beating my opponent in the Primary Election by 62%. My team ran a dynamic campaign with multiple high-profile endorsements, such as Steamfitters Local 420 Union, Huckabee PAC, Gun Owners of America, Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, Senator Doug Mastriano, Sarah Palin, Firearms Owners Against Crime, and U.S. Impact, to name a few. I am committed to fight for this community, to save the country and to preserve The American Dream for our future generations.
