We need to ensure that faith remains a cornerstone of American Patriotism! Drew-Montez Clark grew up in Danville, VA, and was the son of two educators who demanded from an early age that he and his siblings become free thinkers and exercise critical thought at every step in their lives. That is what led Drew-Montez to conservatism. He was raised with the understanding that he should not complain or have an opinion unless he was willing to find his role in arriving at a solution. Entering the race for U.S. Representative of District 25 is what he believes to be his role in ushering in objective solutions that help us save our great country! Drew-Montez believes the answer to all the current situations can be found in two places: through God and the Constitution. He believes the constitution and bible exist specifically to help us navigate these difficult times and heal as a nation! Drew-Montez is a Liberty Focused, constitutionally backed, 2nd Amendment loving, Pro-Life, Husband, Father, and Entrepreneur grounded in his faith. He refuses to sit by idly while the torch of liberty, which so many before us have sacrificed for, is extinguished. https://drewmontezclark.com https://www.ucarcoflife.com

Trazz Sawyer was born in Ithaca NY, however, he and his three siblings grew up in Mississippi. Trazz's parents no longer wanted him nor his siblings. Around four years old his life changed drastically. His childhood became a living nightmare for far too long until he was a young man. Knowing the evil secrets of what was really going on in his own household, he grew up and carried multiple burdens. Self-blame and eventually anger at his own powerlessness to help his sisters and himself, permeated his life. He was vulnerable to the evil darkness in others. Too young to protect himself, the most important in life in his broken world were his sisters. Receiving mistreatment equal to that of a child slave for years in his abusive home left him hopeless. He witnessed so many wrongs and had no role models or father figures with good character to care for him. Trazz was fortunate to learn how to read and write, even though Trazz was unable to attend school on a regular basis. He co-authored his first book, “8 OUNCES OF WATER FOR 8 HOURS OF MAGIC”, and a second book “LITTLE ANTIFREEZE”, a children’s story. Trazz's upcoming Autobiography, “WORSE THAN A NOBODY” depicts, how Trazz’s life was damaged and broken from his very first memory in life. Later in life, the tragedies he encountered were of his own makings. Attempting to protect his sister from an alleged abuser, and to protect himself one night, Trazz unintentionally made the worst mistake of his life by not calling the police. It is true, that most black people do not like calling the police. Trazz was no exception to this theory, and this tragic mistake would result in him spending 22-years to life in prison for murder. While in prison he suffered the worst abuses known to man. Despite his traumatic experiences, he worked diligently to transform not only his life but also his inner- being. Trazz is an incredibly talented screenwriter and is preparing to shoot his first movie titled “FIRE.” He has served as a film consultant, is a singer, songwriter, musician, and a national event planner. https://www.facebook.com/trazz.sawyer https://www.instagram.com/trazzsawyer/?hl=en https://www.notion.so/Hey-friends-I-m-Trazz-Sawyer-at-trazzsawyer-com-a00d0fd5ca1f42e8848d9529ed5e1761

Born in Hodge, Louisiana to a family of nine, Lightning Ned Mitchell has been an integral part of many people’s lives. He initially thought he would become a preacher instead of going to college and getting drafted into the NFL. After serving two years in Vietnam, he realized that God had given him the way to minister in life—through the creation of a women’s professional basketball league (WBA) and everything revolving around it. Lightning Mitchell is the founder of the WBA. In an era when women had to go overseas to pursue their dream of playing professional basketball after college, Lightening had a vision given by GOD to create a professional league for women right here in the United States. And in doing that this is where the WNBA came from. He is most grateful that God has allowed him to know the importance of having him as his Lord and Savior, something more important than life itself. He is also thankful to be a part of the lives of all who can read The Vision. https://www.wbathevision.com
