He has won more cases against the Food and Drug Administration in federal court than any other attorney in American history, earning him the nickname “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is a columnist for Townhall.com, PJ Media.com, Americangreatness.com, and the U.S.A. Today Magazine. He frequently appears on national radio and television programs. He is married to Sheryl Emord, and they have two children, twins Justice and Angelica.

As your next U.S. Senator, I will co-sponsor and vote for an amendment to the United States Constitution providing that no member of the United States House of Representatives may serve more than three terms and that no member of the United States Senate may serve more than two terms. The Founding Fathers understood service in Congress to be an act of temporary service and sacrifice not a career. The gargantuan growth of the federal government and of the power and influence of those in elected office has turned what was to be a limited term of public service into lifelong careers, enriching those members, their families, their friends, and their political allies to the great detriment of the American people. We must re-establish service in Congress to be of a limited term to guard against those who will otherwise become parasites on the body politic.
