| Collapse all
- I’m a Proud United States Republican Congressional Candidate who supports America first policies and our United States Constitutional Republic and I look forward to fighting for the people of Connecticut in Washington D.C. For far too long the radical left has destroyed our economy with outrageous policies which includes proxy wars around the globe to money launder our tax dollars through the military industrial complex, corruption through USAID, and their open border policies which allowed our Nation to be invaded by over 20 million illegal migrants costing the American taxpayers over $150 billion dollars and counting. I plan to go to Congress to help Make America Great Again with common sense policies of putting America first.
- I want to bring respect and honor back to our law enforcement community and our veterans because they are our bedrock of our Nation. The Constitutional Republic is intact because of the sacrifices of those who fought to defend it both here at home and overseas and in order for us to continue preserving our Nation we will first have to honor and protect our veterans who are in need of our support. Our local law enforcement agencies have to be allowed to perform their duties without fear of being targeted by frivolous lawsuits or other acts against them for doing their jobs of serving and protecting the public. Our veterans and law enforcement agencies will be given all of the resources they need to be supported in the 5th district.
- It’s time to end the welfare State I believe that anyone who is able bodied to work that is enrolled in any Federally funded entitlement programs should be required to be enrolled into a job training program to help them to become self sufficient and no longer dependent on the Government. By providing financial literacy training opportunities and vocational training opportunities to people currently unemployed on government entitlement programs we can help them to transition off of these services which will help reduce the tax burden on the rest of us allowing our State to become more competitive in attracting new business investment opportunities for the American citizens of Connecticut.
