We prioritize the well-being and interests of our nation through an "America First" approach. Ensuring support, healthcare, and opportunities for our veterans who bravely served our country is a top priority before allocating funds abroad.
Strengthening Energy Independence:
With term limits, we can foster a more dynamic and responsive government. It allows for a regular infusion of diverse voices and experiences, bringing in individuals who are motivated to make meaningful changes during their limited time in office. This approach encourages elected officials to act swiftly and effectively, as they are aware that their time in office is finite.
Term limits also help reduce the influence of entrenched political interests and discourage the development of a career politician class. Instead, it encourages citizen legislators who have a true passion for public service and are driven by a desire to make a positive impact.
