Justin E. Dues


Why did you decide to run for this office?

As a former infantry Marine who served our nation from 2003 to 2012, I am compelled to contribute once more, this time in a different capacity. The structural shortcomings in our political process have unfortunately fostered widespread distrust in the system. My aspiration is to restore a sense of pride in our government and in America’s accomplishments. Notably, the representation of veterans in Congress is currently at a near-historic low, which is concerning. It appears that the focus of many politicians has shifted from serving the public good to pursuing personal interests. My goal is to steer this narrative back towards a commitment to public service and to effectively represent the values and interests of our citizens.
