“I announce my candidacy for the United States Senate to provide the American public an objective look at the truth, no matter how ugly. We must address the massive problems facing our country: election integrity, our budget/debt & inflation, border security, our taxpayer foreign aid going un-audited and the infringements on our civil rights through mandates and policies. Wisconsin needs a Senator with fortitued & decisiveness in the face of cancel culture. We deserve a Senator who can expose the corruption in DC and hold those responsible accountable.”

My childhood sports hero was Nolan Ryan. He is an outspoken Christian and I loved his tenacity and fearlessness for the game.
A US Senator, I look up to Rand Paul, who is a Junior Senator from Kentucky. He is a no-nonsense, outspoken Christian man who isn’t afraid to ruffle party feathers and isn’t afraid to speak truth to power. I voted for his father in 2012.
The person I looked up to the most overall was my dad, Michael Corrigan. He worked on the Canadian National Railroad for 39 years. He is where I developed my work ethic and faith in God to direct out path in life. - Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Debt, election integrity, border security, partisanship and the constant use of fear to rob citizens of their common sense and manipulate them.
- What are your thoughts on term limits?
Term limits are needed 2 terms in the senate & 4 terms in the house.
- What qualities does the U.S. Senate possess that makes it unique as an institution?
It can confirm or deny presidential appointments as well as bind treaties with the force of law. They also hold the trial for any impeachment proceedings and have the power to remove presidents from office with a 2/3 majority vote.
- Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics?
No. Politicians have become too complacent and sped too much time out of the public sector. They’ve forgotten who they work for. They need to do more with less, like the private sector and small business owners do.
- What do you think of the filibuster?
It’s a valuable tool to make sure that legislation is passed by more than just a simple majority. The filibuster was created to ensure bipartisan legislation would be passed and that any legislation that passed stood the test of debate and arguments by more than just a simple majority. Essentially, it was designed to ensure teamwork and compromise.
- Is there a particular senator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?
Rand Paul
- Tell us your favorite joke.

- How would you evaluate a judicial nominee?
Based on their professional decisions, public statements, history of fairness in all different types of cases and their personal/ professional integrity on and off the bench.
- What kind of relationships would you build with other senators?
Professional and uniting as well as investigatory
- Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?
Yes
- How should the U.S. Senate use its investigative powers?
Far more with the use of elected officials, not appointed officials. The senate doesn’t seem to want to investigate, other than political purposes. The senators need to start investigating what the people want, not whatever the current political hot potato is.
I don’t salivate at a party whistle, like Pavlov’s dog. If it needs investigating, I’ll investigate it. - What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees to their Cabinet?
Trustworthiness, ethics, character, conflicts of interest, professional reputation & accomplishments/ complainants, credentials & work history/ expertise
