Healthcare Dan Cox stands with Seniors in opposing changes to the Social Security and Medicare systems that would take away their vested rights and interests.  Seniors should not be faced with changing goal posts, with retirement ages constantly being pushed older and older.  Medicare must cover their healthcare and their prescriptions, and equality for their quality of life must be guaranteed in all healthcare and hospital situations. Foreign Policy Dan believes strongly that NATO must pay its fair share for Europe’s defense.  Additionally, Dan Cox will vote to deny the World Health Organization treaty authority over the healthcare of Americans by demanding a rejection of the proposed “Pandemic Emergency” treaty.

Healthcare Dan Cox is the only candidate in this race who has sponsored legislation to do just that - to empower and protect Seniors in their healthcare equality.  Dan has also voted for historic protections from spiking insulin and other life-saving drug costs, and gave a Floor speech to prevent the cutting off of the right to try experimental treatments of cancer for children and others who need to try last options to live.

He will also always defend your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and uphold your religious liberty, including the Constitutional right to pray in public schools. Foreign Policy Fair and reciprocal trade is essential for the prosperity of all nations. It is important to recognize that we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. We need to replace decades of calamitous multinational trade blunders with fair and reciprocal trade that returns jobs, wealth, and manufacturing to America. Dan Cox will vote to make the United States no longer reliant upon other countries for energy, essential medical and national security goods. Environment / Energy Before the Biden administration reversed the Trump Energy Revolution, the United States had become the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas, achieving energy independence and delivering historically low costs for oil, gas, diesel, and electricity to consumers and businesses. The current administrations energy policies have led to the enrichment of foreign adversaries abroad. Dan Cox will vote to once again unleash the production of domestic energy resources, reduce the soaring price of gasoline, diesel and natural gas, promote energy security for us and our friends around the world, eliminate the socialist Green New Deal and ensure the United States is never again at the mercy of a foreign supplier of energy. Education State and local officials cannot be permitted to make illegal and unconstitutional changes to election procedures without the required approvals by the state legislatures.
