Guns A radical gun control agenda will only make America more dangerous. I will stand against any gun control bills that threaten this fundamental right, and I will cosponsor legislation to prevent any administration from using federal tax dollars to enforce policies that undermine the Second Amendment. Foreign Policy Our money should be spent wisely. I oppose funding foreign countries that show hostility toward the U.S. and believe military interventions should require a formal declaration of war by Congress. It’s time to focus on America’s needs first. Defense / Veterans Many veterans have their disability claims unjustly denied, even with clear medical records from active duty. We must overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs to prioritize the needs of our veterans and ensure they receive the benefits they deserve without unnecessary delays. Government Reform The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution limits a President to two terms in office, each lasting four years, for eight years. The Amendment was ratified in February 1951 after Congress passed it in 1947. No politician, whether good or bad, wants to leave a position of power, prestige, and wealth, no matter how old they are or their mental state. Therefore, unfortunately, no politician would vote for an amendment to the Constitution for Term Limits for Congress. Immigration Replace the "catch-and-release" policy with mandatory detention for all migrants caught entering the U.S. illegally or violating immigration laws. This approach ensures that our immigration system is based on American values, not special interests. Taxes / Budget Congress must prioritize the welfare of the American people by cutting unnecessary spending and avoiding tax increases. The Trump tax cuts boosted economic growth by leaving more money in the hands of Americans and businesses. I stand against any effort to repeal these cuts. Government Reform Federal regulations often increase costs, limit freedom, and burden small businesses. Many of these rules are imposed by unelected bureaucrats. I support reducing unnecessary regulations to promote economic freedom and growth. Immigration The Federal Government must prioritize the safety and security of the United States. Cartels currently control our southern border, spreading violence into communities across the country, including Virginia. They are responsible for human trafficking, the fentanyl crisis, and the importation of violent criminals. Immigration Our borders must be secured to prevent terrorists, criminals, and illegal immigrants from entering. This includes building a wall and significantly increasing interior enforcement to stop illegal immigration. Taxes / Budget Excessive federal spending and money printing have fueled runaway inflation, devaluing our currency. With a national debt exceeding $34.5 trillion, the government pays nearly $2.4 billion in interest daily. This unsustainable debt weakens our economy and burdens future generations.
