Congratulations to Senator Quade on her re-election.

Thank you to everyone that supported and voted for me in the 2026 primary and general elections for MN Senate District 56 and also those that supported my previous campaign for US Senate in 2024. As I suspected, election performance appears to be more about the voters than the money and endorsements received by the candidates. I did not solicit or receive either and based on preliminary results did not perform significantly differently than other Republican candidates in my district.

I am ending my campaign and do not expect to run again for any office. I hope to be able to use my alternate X account @Cavemanomics to educate more voters to the economic nonsense being spewed by politicians. I will be taking down my website, Campaign X account and email address by the end of the year.

Thank you again for all your support,
