Caleb Foshee, chief operating officer at a commercial/industrial electrical contracting company was previously a Command HR Director for the US Air Force and a Regional HR Director for the Indian Health Service. “I’ve dealt with the clutter and bureaucracy of government service and in my current job I feel the impact to businesses and their employees due to government regulations and reporting.

“Another pillar of my campaign is that every life is precious, from conception to natural death. This includes both babies and elders, but also includes people like single mothers, the poor, and veterans who might be struggling with mental health issues. Every person’s dignity must be protected.”

“We need a new generation of Patriots who will take a stand to protect our individual rights. There is currently legislation in the Capitol that seeks to repeal Constitutional Carry and otherwise limit our right to bear arms.
