On the Issues
Criminal Justice
As a first responder, Alden works closely with law enforcement on a regular basis. By legalizing cannabis at the federal level, ending qualified immunity, and ending the practice of civil asset forfeiture, law enforcement would be able to focus on more serious issues.
Taxes
Alden believes the government cannot tax its way to prosperity. Once a new tax is established, it is rarely repealed. Washington should be working on ways to cut spending and not brainstorming new things to tax.
Jobs
One of the best ways to encourage job growth is for the government to get out of the way. Excessive taxes, bureaucratic red tape, and often redundant professional licensing requirements all reduce opportunity and restrict job growth.
2nd Amendment
Alden fully supports repealing the NFA and dissolving the ATF. Prohibition only encourages a thriving black market. Rights are not to be treated as privileges. Felons who have paid their debt to society and pose no threat to the general public deserve the ability to protect their families via firearm ownership.
Why am I running?
This country was established by ruffling feathers as well as demanding change through action. Change doesn’t happen by making cheap campaign promises. It happens by challenging the status quo, and not taking no for an answer.
We have people incarcerated whose only “crime” was possessing cannabis. We are taxed at every turn. Our government prints billions of dollars, while simultaneously saying there is a coin shortage. Elected representatives vote yes on bills they don’t even bother reading.
2020 was just the beginning. Voters are fed up with both “main” parties. Now is the time to be loud, and let the people know that we are the party of true representation and liberty.

About Alden
Alden is not a career politician. He is a first responder who has spent years serving his community on the front lines, witnessing firsthand the consequences of failed government policies. His experiences have shaped his belief that the best solutions come from empowered individuals and local communities, not from distant bureaucrats in Washington.
Growing up in Mississippi, Alden learned the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and neighbor helping neighbor. He entered public service not for personal gain but out of a genuine desire to make a difference. After seeing how laws crafted without regard for real-world impact harm ordinary citizens, he decided to step up and offer a different kind of leadership.
Alden is committed to transparency and accountability. He believes elected officials should be accessible to the people they represent, not hiding behind staffers or party talking points. That’s why he pledges to hold regular town halls, publish his schedule, and never accept a dime from corporate PACs or special interests.
Core Principles
Alden’s campaign is built on a foundation of timeless principles that put the individual first. These are not just slogans; they guide every policy position he takes.
- Limited Government: The federal government should stick to its enumerated powers. Anything not explicitly delegated to it belongs to the states or the people.
- Personal Responsibility: Adults should be free to make their own choices, and they must bear the consequences—good or bad—of those choices.
- Free Markets: When government gets out of the way, entrepreneurs and workers thrive. Excessive regulation and taxation stifle innovation and opportunity.
- Civil Liberties: The Constitution is not a menu. The rights to free speech, self-defense, due process, and privacy are absolute and must be defended against all encroachments.
These principles are not partisan. They are American. Alden believes that if we return to these fundamentals, we can heal the divisions that plague our nation and restore prosperity for all.
More Issues We Need to Address
The challenges facing our country are numerous, and the four issues highlighted above are just the beginning. Alden is also deeply concerned about the following areas and is developing common-sense solutions based on the principles of liberty and limited government.
Education: Parents, not bureaucrats, should control their children’s education. Alden supports school choice, homeschooling, and the elimination of the federal Department of Education. Every child deserves access to a quality education, and competition drives improvement.
Healthcare: The American healthcare system is burdened by overregulation, price opacity, and crony capitalism. Alden believes in free-market reforms such as allowing insurance across state lines, expanding health savings accounts, and ending mandates that drive up costs. Medical freedom is a fundamental right.
Foreign Policy: The United States should not be the world’s policeman. Alden supports ending endless wars, bringing our troops home, and reining in the military-industrial complex. Diplomacy and trade, not military intervention, should be our primary tools for international relations.
Immigration: A nation that cannot control its borders cannot claim to be sovereign. Alden advocates for secure borders, a streamlined legal immigration process that welcomes those who wish to contribute, and an end to the exploitation of illegal labor.
