I am a Constitutional Republican, I used to think Conservative was enough to describe my ideology, but we have so many representatives in Congress that have diluted the meaning of conservative, it doesn't mean anything now. The Constitution was written to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare (this has been the most abused), and to give our Posterity the liberties, life and security we have enjoyed. This is what frustrates me the most, the country is wrecked for our future generations. I have watched it happen powerless for decades, no more, one person may be powerless, but I will have the voice of 3/4 of a million proud, strong and patriotic Oklahomans behind me!
  • Freedom - as outlined in the Constitution and unadulterated by years of legislative and judicial neglect straying from the idea of a limited Federal Government as outlined by our founding documents.
  • Security - by protecting and closing our borders as necessary to keep criminals, drugs and terrorists from freely walking across our borders. Also, we must end woke policies to social engineer our armed forces that only serve to destroy the cohesivenes and readiness of our military.
  • Prosperity - We must limit the spending of our Federal Governement with a balanced budget, reduce taxes and plan to reduce our national debt that devalues our currency, reduces our effective take home pay and, creates inflation that doubles the cost of a loaf of bread as well as other essentials that we take for granted.
Restoration of our Federal Government to a Constitutional Republic whereby it serves the People and not National Organizations, Lobbyists or the Administrative State.
We directly represent the people, not special interest, not the national party, we are the voice and managers of our country for our constituents. Instead, it is a House full of empty promises, continuing crisis and bilge of legislation that does nothing but weaken our country.
No, not in the least, otherwise why would our Nation be in such dire straights? We need representatives from all walks of life but with management skills and willingness to actually hold up and define why their Bills, Resolutions, and Votes are Constitutional.
The national debt, foreign wars and our involvement in them, as well as United States manufacturing base are critical immediate issues that must be addressed. Nearly as important and weighing heavily as we look to the next 2-10 years are our competitive technological edge, especially in the fields of Space Exploration, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.
Yes, because it was defined by the founding documents and is plenty of time to determine if a representative is making a positive impact or if another should be elected to replace them.
All Federal Oklahoma candidates should be subject to the same state laws that limits the terms of state candidates.
We have compromised since Reagan left office, how has that been working out for our country? Bi-partisanship is dead, the Democrats have become progressively more and more left moving what used to be considered center to a genuine level of insanity, only using it to call the right more extremist to the point where now we are the terrorists. How many Leftists wave the United States flag and call for the restoration of our Constitutional Republic? The Left has been incrementally destroying our country, the time for compromise is over if we are to keep any semblance of the great nation our founders and those that fought and gave their lives to preserve it for us..
