Economy Farmers are the backbone of our economy, the stewards of our land, and the foundation of our national food supply. I am committed to protecting their livelihoods, preserving their rights, and ensuring a secure and sustainable future for agriculture. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We cannot take public safety for granted. It must be a priority—not just in words, but in policy and funding. Standing with our first responders is not a political position—it’s a moral obligation to ensure that every family, every neighborhood, and every citizen can live without fear. Infrastructure / Transportation I believe in responsible growth that respects our values, protects our resources, and preserves the character of our communities. Abortion / Contraception Being pro-life is a core belief that guides our efforts to defend the most vulnerable and uphold the fundamental right to life. Infrastructure / Transportation Responsible development means more than new buildings and bigger tax bases. It means making thoughtful, forward-looking decisions that balance economic opportunity with quality of life. Growth done the right way strengthens neighborhoods, supports local businesses, protects our land, and ensures that families can thrive—not just today, but for generations to come. Economy I stand firmly against the expansion of gambling in our state and nation. While often presented as a source of revenue, gambling expansion represents a dangerous step toward greater government dependence on predatory practices and contributes to the erosion of individual and community well-being.
