Top Issues

Defense / Veterans We used to have the strongest military on the planet, but under Joe Biden, it's been depleted, and our national security is at risk. I'm here to tell you, we need to bring back the might of our armed forces, and we need to do it now. Social Services As part of my commitment to America First, I advocate for ending welfare benefits for those who have entered our country illegally. Our hardworking taxpayers should not bear the burden of supporting individuals who have not followed the legal immigration process. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I am going to vote to secure the funding our local law enforcement needs. No more defunding nonsense. We need our officers well-equipped and well-prepared. This includes the latest technology, training, and tools they need to succeed in their vital mission. Foreign Policy We stand with our friends in Israel, a beacon of democracy in a tough neighborhood. It's crucial that they have our unwavering support. However, it's time for a reality check. Healthcare It's time we tackle the outrageous prices Big Pharma charges for medicine in our great nation. Social Services When I am in Congress, I will unequivocally reject any proposal to cut Medicare and Social Security. These are sacred commitments we've made to our citizens, and I will ensure they remain unbroken. Immigration It's time to put America First! We're facing a crisis—a flood of deadly drugs, especially Fentanyl, pouring across our borders. As your Congressman, I pledge to work to secure and lockdown our borders, stopping criminals and the poison of Fentanyl in their tracks. Taxes / Budget I will not vote for a single tax hike. I believe in a tax system that's simpler, flatter, and lower – just like it should be. The government's power comes from its ability to tax us, and we need to cut that down! Education I stand for putting power back where it belongs—with you, the parents. It's about time we ensure that the values we cherish, the traditions we hold dear, and the principles that make our nation strong are instilled in our children's education. Legislation Let's get one thing straight: there are only two genders – male and female. The left needs to stop their misguided attempts at confusing our youth with unnecessary complexities. Economy When I am in Congress, I will unequivocally reject any proposal to cut Medicare and Social Security. Economy As part of my commitment to America First, I advocate for ending welfare benefits for those who have entered our country illegally.
