Jim McKelvey

Jim McKelvey is a man who has never sought or held any public office. He is now seeking office because he is alarmed by the crisis our nation is facing and the wrong choices being made by our elected officials.

Our national debt is of primary concern. This mountain of debt is crushing our national economy in the same way personal debt destroys the lives of private citizens. Jim knows that the federal government must make across the board cuts. As a start he has pledged that he will not accept a salary, health insurance, or retirement benefits while in office. He will go to Washington, lead by example, and do what must be done.
