Collapse all
|- AMERICAN ENERGY- Reopen Keystone XL, Unfreeze the leases on New Oil and Gas leases, Increase research & production in gasoline/Diesel alternatives and pursue the expansion of Nuclear Energy production.
- AMERICAN JOBS- Refocus on American ingenuity, engineering and creation. We as Americans have to stop relying on other countries for resources needed for our day to day operations. We need to incentivize American innovation and expand production within the U.S.
- EDUCATION- We need to raise the standards for K-12 Education through the incorporation of courses for shop, mechanics, economics, business and other courses that help prepare students for the real world, incentivize students who are excelling to do more and providing support for struggling students to succeed. Also expanding Education opportunities through state and local schooling for future Healthcare workers, Trade workers and more.
The qualities that makes the U.S. House of Representatives a unique institution is their ability and authority to Elect a president in the instance of an indecisive electoral vote and the sole responsibility to impeach federal officials. The U.S. House also is a key component in passing legislation onto the Senate when it comes to fiscal responsible bills, addressing issues surrounding healthcare, education, jobs, and so much more. But the most important aspect is their sole responsibility to represent the people within their districts and to make the voices of the people they represent heard.
