Healthcare Families have continued to struggle with out-of-control healthcare costs. Free markets and greater competition among insurers will help drive costs down for everyone, lowering medical expenses across the board. By protecting pre-existing conditions and lowering costs, we can help millions get access to the quality, affordable healthcare they need. Immigration We are seeing the impact of open borders right here in our community as fentanyl overdoses continue to devastate families, overwhelm our services to the point that the Governor's administration has asked Michiganders to house migrants. As your Congressman, I’ll make sure this ends. This is basic common sense: we have immigration laws for a reason, and we need to enforce them. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will support the law enforcement community 100 percent, support Second Amendment rights, and ensure that our law enforcement agencies are provided the support and tools that allow them to serve and protect. Taxes / Budget Did you know your taxes are set to automatically go up next year? Not just for the wealthy or for corporations—for nearly everybody, across the board. As your representative in Congress, I won’t let that happen. I believe that West Michiganders should get to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks, not less. On day one in Congress, I’ll work to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to let you keep more of your own money. Defense / Veterans In Congress, I will always support our military and make sure they have the tools they need to be the greatest fighting force in the world. I will always stand up for American values and American interests against threats from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and others. Taxes / Budget The national debt has ballooned to 34 trillion—over a hundred grand for every man, woman, and child in America. This isn’t Monopoly money. We’re now spending more just on interest on our debt than on our entire national defense budget. This is unsustainable. Step one in righting the ship is reining in Washington’s wasteful spending spree.
