Official Profile
Background: VP, Applied Fraud Research & Analytics at Experian; ~25 years in financial-fraud detection; co-inventor US Patent 8,290,836 B2 (2012); resides Queen Creek, AZ; first run for office
Next Election Year: 2026
Heterodox R candidate on the 2026 AZ-05 R primary ballot (FEC ID H6AZ05273, filed 2026-01-06). Substack-driven campaign ('gross4az.substack.com'); ~25 Substack subscribers, no FEC money raised yet visible. Self-positions as 'Republican alternative to Trump-endorsed Mark Lamb' but published platform ('Promises for Us 2028: A New American Blueprint for the 99%') explicitly opposes Trump ('Narcissist-in-Chief') and calls for: codifying federal reproductive freedom, eliminating 'weapons intended solely for the military' (AWB), wealth tax on $50M+, government equity stakes in bailed-out companies, replacing border 'cruelty and aggression with compassion,' and 'healthcare is a human right.' MULTIPLE DEVIATIONS from the Christian-conservative rubric. Religion: NO EVIDENCE FOUND — no church affiliation or Christian self-identification on any platform.
