The Congressman Our District Needs
Born and Raised in Missouri’s Sixth Congressional District. Dakota Shultz knows that our representatives in Washington are out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent.
A Vision For The Future
I see a future where the people we elect to fill the roles in our government are actually representing the people’s best interests and not corporations.
Dakota has a strong determination and a great work ethic that makes him stand out. He is passionate about America and helping rebuild the great country that we all live in. Dakota believes in strong American values. He also believes in the American Dream; Anyone, no matter their Race, Creed, Religion or Sex can do or be anything they want to be. As long as you work hard, set goals and are determined to achieve them. The world is yours. That’s the America Dakota loves.
Education
The brainwashing of the youth of Missouri has to stop. The disregard for facts and radicalization has become too much.
No CRT in the Classroom
Teaching our children that they should be ashamed of themselves because of the color of their skin is absolutely crazy. It seems the Left has forgotten “Judge them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. It’s hard to erase such a profound message. No matter how hard they try.
School Board Impeachment
With the radical school board members across the country threating to have parents arrested for voicing concerns. We need to implement the ability for the parents of a school district to remove those school board members from office and revoke their power to silence concerned parents.
Bring Patriotism Back To The Classroom
In schools across the country and in the heartland of Missouri they have removed the love for America. No more Pledge of Allegiance because that could offend someone. When did we agree to remove teaching a Love for our country from the classroom?
Energy
From failed Energy plans implemented by corrupt politicians to relying on Foreign countries that hate us for our oil. America needs to do better.
More Domestic Oil and Coal
When the Government decided to shut down the coal mines in the Appalachians they destroyed thousands of jobs and our Energy sustainability took a hit. They hid behind nonsense like Climate Change and Emission Regulations as an excuse to push their agenda. Then we saw in 2020 the Keystone Pipeline axed before completion killing more trade jobs. Gas prices soared and America lost its foothold in self reliance on Oil. What did they do next? That’s right, working to close yet another Pipeline to push their Dark Winter narrative. It’s time we fought back.
Lower Energy Bills
With all these Federally funded programs, energy restrictions and bills pushed through Congress. Why has the price of electricity not halved for every household in America? That’s right, because the fine print of the Energy bills only give 10% of that funding to the energy sector. The rest goes into more failing Socialist programs and policies to not only syphon more tax payer money but to cripple America.
Constitutional Rights
Our founding fathers knew what they were doing when they drafted the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They were thinking ahead to prevent another Tyrannical governing body.
Unwarranted Censorship
We’ve all seen how the media and big tech turned against anyone with a differing opinion. If your voice wasn’t in line with their agenda then you were made out to be the enemy. The media has spit on our First Amendment right to Free Speech. They’ve thrown actual Journalism out the window and peddled snake oil and lies to the entire world. No more. They should be held accountable for their actions! If Big Tech wants to censor opposing views on its public forms and completely silence those they don’t agree with then we will revoke their protection from liability!
No 2nd Amendment Restrictions
The founding fathers knew that an armed militia is the only way to keep a Radicalized Government in check. With each new bill they pass more and more regulations and restrictions on not only guns but ammo. The governments job is to maintain a standing army to protect against Foreign threats. NOT to tell We The People how we can and can’t protect ourselves.
Election Integrity
In every single election since the drafting of the Declaration of Independence there have been cheaters. Those who would diminish the integrity of our elections by counting or submitting more votes than people that actual voted. The 2020 election was the worst we as a nation have seen since 1876 when Hayes won by a 1 point vote and was settled by Congress through a thorough investigative committee. We need better Election integrity. Voter Identification, Limited Mail-In Voting and No More External Voting Equipment.
Innocent Before Proven Guilty
As we seen with the Rittenhouse case. The Left will stoop to any low and peddle their lies. No matter what the facts are the media will fabricate what ever they need to defame and slander an innocent man. Racism, Social Injustice, Cancel Culture. All tools to divide us and shift our focus away from the truth. Facts over Feelings.
Government
The Government has failed every single one of us. Whether it be by implementing Authoritarian mandates and laws or failing to provide protection from domestic terrorist groups looting and burning entire cities.
Excessive Taxation
While Taxation is a necessary evil in Government and a Civilized Society. Taking 40% of anyone’s income is down right Tyrannical. When did the Government profit more than God? Leviticus 27:30 says, “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is Holy.” and Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.” 10% of our wealth goes to God. Why are we giving 4 times that to the Government??
Governmental Overreach
Government Overreach is a major problem. The criminals in Washington think that they know best. They believe they have the right to control the people. Telling us what we can do, how we can do it and even deciding whether or not we are allowed to work. Sounds a lot like a communist regime, not the America I know. The America I know has a Constitution that grants all Americans; Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness. We have God given rights that no Government can diminish. The right to freely traverse the United States and the right to make a living to provide for ourselves and our families.
Radical Agendas
From the “Defund The Police” chants to the Autonomous Zones. These despicable politicians think they can let rioters and looters run rampant but arrest peaceful protestors. No more. If you block a street or burn down a local business you deserve to be arrested. More so, the jury of your peers should consist of the citizens that live in those neighborhoods you looted and vandalized. Not the criminals that helped you.
Economy
The Economy is a vital part of not only our country but the world. The US Dollar has been the long standing standard for conversion and comparison globally.
Inflation Control
We’ve all heard the argument about making a “Livable Wage”. But a Livable Wage doesn’t mean you can buy the newest iPhone or the newest Car, it also doesn’t mean you’re able to eat fast food every night. A Livable Wage is food in your belly, a roof over your head and gas to get to and from work. If you want the privileges of eating out and the newest luxuries then you have to put in the hard work to better yourself. Experience and a Skillset aren’t just handed out at the welfare line. They’re earned through tireless night and long work days. That’s why we shouldn’t be raising minimum wage, we should be making it easier to learn those necessary skillsets so more people are able to build a career. Apprenticeships, Internships, Work Programs at School. Only you can better yourself, the government doesn’t have your best interest at heart.
The Gold Standard
The value of the American dollar started it’s massive decline when we decided to take our currency backing away from The Gold Standard. Currently paper money has nothing real backing it. The only reason the Dollar has value is because we believe it does. No resource or precious material, only the faith that cotton and paper have value when they are printed with ink and dye.
Agriculture
The backbone of the entire country. Agriculture is a necessity to any thriving civilization.
Right To Repair
John Deere, once a name respected across the world for innovation and reliability. Now, known for its disregard for Farmers and greed. Some states have passed legislation that prevents Deere from requiring Farmers to bring equipment to a certified Deere mechanic and paying for the cost to haul these massive machines sometimes hours away to a Deere Dealership for repair. Restricting Farmers from working on their own equipment stating that when they purchased the Machinery is was to “Lease the Software” that is required to operate said machines. No more. I plan to push legislation on a National level to require all equipment manufacturers to allow self repair or at the least require them to offer a field repair service where they send a tech out to the Farmer.
Better Education
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard a high school kid say something along the lines of “We should plant more hamburger.” The education system has blatantly failed these kids. We need to require Agriculture to be a required credit instead of Art and Music or PE. Why is knowing where the food comes from behind running the mile in a government stated timeframe?
Foreign Affairs
We need to stop worrying about the rest of the world when poverty and crisis are at our backdoor.
More Onshore Less Off Shore
We need to shift the focus of manufacturing back to America. More Onshore solutions and factories and less outsourcing to Off Shore vendors and countries where they don’t have basic human rights for their work force.
Reduce Foreign Aid
Time after time our tax payer money is going over seas to fund some terror group, third world country or to meddle if the affairs of a foreign nation. We should focus on rebuilding and repairing ourselves before we look to help others. We are always told to make sure we are safe before we give aid to others in need. Why doesn’t that apply to our Government and it’s Policies?
A Strong History
Dakota comes from humble beginnings. He comes from a family living paycheck to paycheck. As a young boy he watched his father strive to do better and slowly move up the economic ladder. He was also taught by his mother the value of a dollar and how to get the most out of it.
Growing up he was able to see how hard work and determination turns a 2 bedroom house into a 60+ acre 5 bedroom farm with almost 100 head of livestock. When Dakota turned 18 he started working for the City of Kirksville making minimum wage. At the time it was $7.35 an hour. He worked long hours in the hot sun, mowing parks and maintaining the recreational areas of Kirksville.
He knew that wasn’t the job for him so he eventually left to work at Kraft, the local factory, making almost double the wages. He enjoyed the repetitive work in the cold environment. But it still wasn’t what he wanted. After about a year of saving money, Dakota decided to go back to college and get a degree.
A few weeks in and he realized that wasn’t the path he was supposed to be on so he decided to pursue his career in Software Development without a degree. He applied for several jobs and finally went through a 12 week coding boot camp that offered a certification in .Net, which he had taught himself at the age of 12.
After being promoted three times in the first two months Dakota wanted more, so he created a LinkedIn and made himself available to job recruiters. Almost immediately he was offered a position working with the Defense Sector on Robotic Process Automation and A.I Development. Soon his career started to soar, when his contract with the Defense Sector became due Dakota was offered a position at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis working in the Treasury Division.
While working with the Federal Reserve, Dakota started his own company (Shultz Studios) to build Custom Software, A.I Automation and Websites in his free time. Still there was something missing.
Watching the country fall apart around him and our freedoms being striped away from us. Dakota knew something had to change. He refuses to let America suffer any longer. We have to stand up and fight. That’s why he decided to run for US Congress. He, like so many others, is tired of watching the country he loves being ruined by the corruption in Washington.
Dakota came from humble beginnings and has worked hard to succeed no matter what the circumstance. To him, the American Dream is alive and well and that’s the America Dakota loves.
- Stands for Farmers, Small Business Owners and Veterans.
- Has learned that hard work does pay off.
- Comes from a modest background.
- Respects those who serve.
- Knows the value of family.
- Loves America.
“Give me Liberty or Give me Death.” – Patrick Henry
