Guns All Americans have the right to protect themselves and those around them. Healthcare Make quality care accessible for all. Abortion / Contraception He will vote, should the issue ever arise in his service at the Federal level, in this way: “All abortion under 12 weeks is the choice of the mother, but a consultation option must occur twice on two separate days with a minimum period wait of 72 hours in between unless medically necessary to save the life of the mother. If at any point past the 12 weeks mark if it is deemed necessary to save the life of the mother, anything that is necessary may occur immediately without delay with certain reasonable protections afforded to all medical personnel who act without to delay to save the life of the mother with goodwill to save the baby if possible.”. Defense / Veterans Whether it's international terrorism, growing tensions with peer adversaries, or threats domestically, I am committed to ensuring our armed forces have the personnel, equipment, and training needed to neutralize all threats to our great nation. Economy We should be able to meet our needs domestically by producing everything ourselves, rather than relying on others overseas. Abortion / Contraception Joshua believes, on the subject of abortion, that each state has the right to it’s own self-governance on this issue. He personally does not support or believe in abortion, but understands the protected rights of all people and the right to life. Civil Rights Whether it is online censorship, gun-confiscating government legislation, condemning / closing of churches and religious gatherings, or any other de-humanizing event in between, know that I will always be an advocate for the God-given rights of the American people. Defense / Veterans Fighting for benefits and services that function fast and efficiently for our nation’s heroes. Civil Rights Banning Adolescent and Adult Aged Biological Males in Women's Sports and Women's Bathrooms. Education We have to teach our children English, Math, Science, History, Health, and life skills. What we don’t need is our children learning gender affirming care. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Proactive policing reduces violent crime. Safety is of the utmost priority so that Americans can feel safe wherever they go. Taxes / Budget Through lowering taxes on lower and middle class Americans, we can galvanize economic spending. This would grow our economy in a way that would benefit the entire union. I understand that these cuts cannot simply come from anywhere, which is why I support raising taxes on the ultra wealthy. Immigration We need a strong secure border that legally allows a million of the best and brightest to become U.S. Citizens. Environment / Energy Save our National Parks and forests for future generations of Americans to enjoy. Taxes / Budget Joshua aims to double the “no tax on tips” income deduction from 25,000 to 50,000. Government Reform Joshua aims to ban members of Congress and their immediate families from owning and trading individual stocks while they are in office. Members of Congress should be focussed on service, not self-enrichment. Criminal Justice / Public Safety For profit prisons and the long holding of non-violent offenders must come to an end. Housing Everyone deserves a place to call home in a community they can afford, but you have to work for it. Taxes / Budget We need to double the child tax credit. Drug Policy If you so choose, you should be able to buy Cannabis anywhere in the United States in the same way you can purchase tobacco and alcohol.
