“Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”  – Exodus 20:12

This campaign is dedicated to my beloved parents, Josephine and Moses Raymond — who raised me and 17 siblings   with faith, discipline, and love. My mother “Joe” was my best friend and   spiritual anchor. My father, a man of strong conviction, taught me to walk upright and honor God above all.

• I was not aborted — I was cherished.
• I was not forsaken — I was formed.

They taught us that character begins at home. The discipline they gave — even the sting of the leather belt — shaped me into a law-abiding man who respects authority, truth, and the sacred role of parents.

Their marriage stood on biblical truth:
 

One man. One woman. For life.

I believe life begins at conception, and I oppose abortion and divorce because I’ve seen the beauty of commitment and the sanctity of life lived out in my own family.

Their voices live in my heart each day. As your Compassionate Leader, I carry their legacy — rooted in faith, family, and justice for all.

With eternal honor,
