| Collapse all
- -Election integrity, securing not only our elections, but our belief and trust in the legitimacy of them. We must enact nationwide voter ID requirements, audit and clean up our voter roles, end ballot harvesting, end mail in voting, strengthen the chain of custody standards with casted ballots, enact requirements for transparency in counting votes, and hardship punishments for anyone who is caught committing voter fraud!
- We must elected people who share our values. We have to stop electing these career politicians who are destroying our country!
- We must be financially responsible in Washington! We can't continue to run these trillion dollar deficits each year! We spent 562.3 billion dollars in interest on our national debt in fiscal year 2021. "Power of the purse" our budget and finances as a nation is arguably the main job of Congress, and they are doing a horrible job with it! I promise as congressman I will be as financially responsible in Washington, as I am in my personal life.
-Parents rights in education, many parents have been concerned about what our schools are teaching their children. Many schools have said that parents don’t have the right to know, or a say in what their children are taught…. This is unacceptable! As a parent, I should know what my child is taught!
-We must gain control of our borders! We must finish building the wall, and also use other technologies and personnel to prevent illegal immigration into the United States.
-Protecting our constitutional rights.
-Holding congress accountable for being financially responsible and balancing the budget.
-Providing our veterans with the proper care they need and were promised when they joined the military.
-Protecting our unborn children! I am pro-Life and will fight to protect those who are unable to protect themselves!
-Healthcare, our healthcare system has flaws, but it's still the best system in the world! My plan for our healthcare system includes many simple policies that WILL absolutely lower costs (Check my website for information on my plan, I think most Americans will agree that my plan will work!)
I remember sitting in my sophomore science class when my teacher was called into the hallway, when she came back in to the class she told us that a plane flew into both of the twin towers and that at this point it appears to be an attack on America.
I worked there for just a few months
-Armed services committee
-Budget committee
-Small Business committee
-Transportation and infrastructure committee
-Veterans affairs committee
I do understand both sides of the argument when it comes to term limits, but the pros of term limits far outweigh the cons.
Term limits force good politicians out, but not having term limits make it very hard to get bad politicians out. It's incredibly hard to beat an incumbent with a very large campaign fund. The problem is a lot of these bad politician have acquired those massive campaign funds by representing corporations and pacs who then donate to their re-election funds, rather than representing their constituents as they should be doing!
I have looked at budget voting records for many politicians then looked at their fec filings and see for example: the politician voted against cutting oil subsidies, and then in their fec filings they have money donated to their campaign from Big oil companies! So for these reasons, I support term limits!
One of the biggest problems we have in this country is the career politicians in Washington. No one should be in a positions of such power in our government for as long as many of our members of congress have been. We commonly see people in the media, congress, high levels of government, and regular people saying that the problem with our country is whoever is currently in the white house. I'm here to say that the person who spends 4-8 years as president is not the problem, the problem is the senators and members of congress who have been there for 25+ years!

- We must be financially responsible in Washington! We can't continue to run these trillion dollar deficits each year! We spent 574 billion dollars in interest on our national debt in fiscal year 2019. "Power of the purse" our budget and finances as a nation is arguably the main job of Congress, and they are doing a horrible job with it! I promise as congressman I will be as financially responsible in Washington, as I am in my personal life.
- We must gain full control of our borders! We need to finish building the wall, and also use other technologies and personnel in conjunction with the wall to prevent illegal immigration into the United States. A nation without borders, or that does not control its borders is no nation at all.
- We must hold our representatives accountable for braking their oath to protect our constituents and our rights! We should no longer allow them to violated our most natural of rights, our inherent god given rights that the constitution GUARANTEES they will protect. As a congressman I will uphold my oath to our constitution and our great country! I will never vote in favor of any legislation that seeks to infringe upon our rights!
-Holding congress accountable for being financially responsible and balancing the budget.
-Providing our veterans with the proper care they need and were promised when they joined the military.
-Protecting our unborn children! I am pro-Life and will fight to protect those who are unable to protect themselves!
-Healthcare, our healthcare system has flaws, but it's still the best system in the world! My plan for our healthcare system includes many simple policies that WILL absolutely lower costs and create more competition amongst insurance companies, hospitals, and healthcare providers, without lowering the quality of care, or having to take tax payer money to subsidize the costs! (Check my website for information on my plan, I think most Americans will agree that my plan will work!)
