Campaign website
Mitchell's campaign website stated the following:
Bringing jobs back to America
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, yet they’re treated like an afterthought while massive corporations get special tax breaks, carve outs, and loopholes written just for them. That’s backwards. We need to give small businesses the same opportunities and tax relief that big corporations enjoy, especially when it comes to keeping jobs right here in America.Taxpayer dollars should never reward companies that ship production overseas, or
hire illegal labor instead of American citizens. Every federal incentive should go to businesses that invest in our communities, hire American workers, and strengthen our economy at home. If a company takes U.S. tax benefits, it should be committed to U.S. jobs! At the same time, excessive federal regulations are suffocating American industry. Manufacturing, oil and gas, steel, transportation, and construction are drowning in red tape that raises costs, slows projects, and puts small operators out of business. These regulations don’t just hurt companies, they hit families through higher prices, lost jobs, and weaker local economies.
My Economic Policy Priorities
1. Put Small Businesses on a Level Playing Field
- Extend the same tax deductions and credits to small businesses that large corporations receive.
- Expand Section 179 expensing so small businesses can immediately deduct equipment, vehicles, and tools.
- Simplify tax compliance so business owners spend time growing, not filling out paperwork.
2. End Incentives for Outsourcing & Illegal Labor
- Eliminate federal tax incentives for companies that offshore jobs.
- Deny subsidies and contracts to companies that knowingly employ illegal labor.
- Prioritize American labor in federal infrastructure and energy projects.
3. Cut Red Tape & Overregulation
- Roll back federal regulations that duplicate state oversight, or add no real safety benefit.
- Require cost benefit analysis before new regulations are imposed on small businesses.
- Protect independent contractors and tradesmen from being regulated out of work.
4. Pass the FairTax Act
- Replace the complex corporate tax system with a transparent, consumption based tax.
- Eliminate corporate income taxes that drive jobs and investment overseas.
- Reward productivity, savings, and investment while keeping businesses in America.
5. Restore Fairness to the Economy
- End government favoritism toward politically connected corporations.
- Encourage competition, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
- Make the United States the best place in the world to start, grow, and keep a business.
Our Founding Fathers believed in free people and free markets, not government micromanagement. Alexander Hamilton wrote that prosperity depends on policies that “encourage industry and reward enterprise”. The Anti-Federalists warned that when government favors the powerful, “commerce and the laboring man are both oppressed”. Those warnings are just as true today.It’s time to return to an economy that rewards hard work, independence, and innovation, not political connections or global outsourcing. By standing with small businesses, cutting red tape, and bringing jobs back home, we can rebuild an America that works for everyone, not just the elite few.
Term Limits
We need to set real limits on political power, 4 two-year terms for the House and 2 six-year terms for the Senate, so that public service doesn’t become a lifelong career. There must also be an age limit set between 72 and 75 for any elected official, ensuring that leadership remains sharp, effective, and connected to the American people. The Founding Fathers never intended for politicians to build empires in Washington; they envisioned citizens serving their country and then returning to private life.
Every politician should be required to publicly disclose all donations and endorsements from lobbyists and corporations. The American people deserve full transparency about who is funding their representatives. Members of Congress should also be banned from trading stocks while in office, because public service should never be a path to personal enrichment.
We must also ensure that those running for public office hold sole allegiance to the United States. No one should be allowed to serve in Congress, the Senate, or the Presidency while holding dual citizenship. You cannot be fully devoted to America if you maintain legal loyalty to another nation. As John Jay wrote in Federalist No. 2, “Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people.” Anti-Federalist Richard Henry Lee echoed this truth, warning that “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. History furnishes no example of a free republic that maintained its liberty long when corrupted by foreign attachments." Our leaders must serve one flag, one Constitution, and one nation, the United States of America.
Politicians should also no longer receive lifelong pensions funded by taxpayers unless they have served at least 20 years of combined public service through their elected terms in Congress, the Senate, or the Presidency. Public office is meant to serve the nation, not to guarantee a lifetime paycheck.
Furthermore, no elected official should receive a salary during a government shutdown. If the American people aren’t receiving their benefits, and our military troops aren’t being paid, then neither should the politicians responsible for the gridlock.
To promote fiscal responsibility, if the national deficit rises above 3–5% of GDP during any four-year presidential cycle, then no member of Congress, the Senate, or the sitting President should be eligible for re-election unless the deficit is reduced below that threshold before their term ends. This ensures accountability for reckless spending and forces our leaders to balance the nation’s budget before asking voters for another term.
Our Founders warned of the dangers of unchecked power and government waste. In Federalist No. 57, James Madison wrote, “The aim of every political constitution is to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society.” The Anti-Federalist George Clinton cautioned that “The longer power is continued in the same hands, the more apt men are to forget their dependence on the people.
It’s time to restore honesty, accountability, and service to public office. By enforcing term and age limits, ending self-enrichment, and demanding fiscal responsibility, we can finally return power to the people, WHERE IT BELONGS!
Energy Sector
During President Trump’s first administration, America achieved true energy independence. That didn’t happen by accident, it happened because we put American workers, American resources, and American energy first. That
is exactly what I intend to help restore by working with President Trump to make our nation energy independent once again.
We are sitting on some of the largest oil, natural gas, and energy reserves in the world. There is no reason American families should be paying higher prices at the pump or on their electric bills while we rely on foreign
countries, many of them hostile, to supply our energy. Producing energy here at home means more American jobs, lower fuel and electricity costs, stronger supply chains, and a safer, more secure nation.
With over a decade of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, I’ve seen firsthand what works, and what doesn’t. While renewable energy has a role in our future, it cannot replace oil and gas when it comes to reliability, scalability, and affordability. Families don’t get to choose when they need power, and neither should our grid. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that is grounded in reality, not ideology.
My Energy Policy Priorities
1. Restore American Energy Independence
- Fully restart and complete the Keystone XL Pipeline.
- Expand federal leasing for oil and gas production on public lands and offshore.
- End policies that intentionally restrict domestic energy supply and drive up prices.
2. Cut Red Tape & Speed Up Permitting
- Streamline federal permitting so energy projects don’t take years to approve.
- Set firm timelines for environmental reviews without endless delays.
- Protect states rights to manage energy production within their borders.
3. Strengthen Grid Reliability & Infrastructure
- Invest in modernizing pipelines, refineries, and the electric grid.
- Support domestic refining capacity to prevent fuel shortages.
- Ensure baseload power remains strong so renewables don’t destabilize the grid.
4. Put American Workers First
- Protect high-paying skilled energy jobs from being outsourced overseas.
- Support apprenticeship and workforce training programs for welders, operators, and inspectors.
- Oppose regulations that kill jobs without delivering real environmental benefits.
5. National Security Through Energy Strength
- Reduce dependence on foreign oil from adversarial nations.
- Use American energy exports to strengthen allies and weaken hostile regimes.
- Treat energy as a strategic asset, not a political bargaining chip.
America doesn’t need to apologize for producing energy, we need to lead. By restoring energy independence, we can lower costs for families, grow our economy, protect our workers, and secure our nation’s future. My
commitment is simple: American energy, American jobs, and American security.
2nd Amendment
When it comes to the Second Amendment, our Founding Fathers could not have been clearer: “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” That phrase isn’t open for debate or interpretation, it’s absolute.I will never support red flag laws or any other form of gun control that chips away at our constitutional rights. These laws are unconstitutional, plain and simple. The federal government has forgotten what “shall not be infringed” means, but I haven’t.I will work to deregulate unconstitutional restrictions that have been forced on law-abiding gun owners and move to abolish the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives), repeal the NFA (National Firearms Act of 1934), and repeal the GCA (Gun Control Act of 1968).Our Founders understood that the right to bear arms wasn’t just about hunting or sport, it was about preserving liberty and deterring tyranny. As George Mason said during the Virginia Ratifying Convention: “To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”And in Federalist No. 46, James Madison warned that an armed citizenry is “the ultimate check against the encroachments of a standing army.” The Anti-Federalist Papers echoed that same warning, reminding us that “the people are the surest guardian of their own liberty.”The Second Amendment was written as a safeguard, not a suggestion. Our Founders gave us the means to protect our families, our property, and our freedom. I will fight to make sure that right is never weakened, regulated into oblivion, or taken away.Because when the government fears the people, liberty is secure. When the people fear the government, liberty is lost.
Pro-life
Abortion is one of the most difficult and emotional topics facing our nation, and it’s not something that can be summarized in a slogan or a pamphlet. I believe that this issue belongs in the hands of the states and the people, not the federal government. The Constitution does not grant Washington the authority to dictate moral or medical decisions to the entire nation. Each state should have the right to establish its own laws, allowing citizens to decide locally through their votes and their values.I believe that life should be protected after the detection of a heartbeat, and that each state should have the authority to pass and enforce laws that reflect the will of its people. At the same time, I recognize there are limited exceptions in heartbreaking circumstances, such as rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk. These decisions are never easy, and they deserve careful consideration, compassion, and respect for both the mother and the unborn child.The goal is not to divide Americans, but to ensure that every state has the freedom to uphold the values of its citizens while preserving the sanctity of life. The federal government should never impose a one-size-fits-all policy on such a deeply personal and moral issue.Our Founding Fathers believed in the principle of local self-government. In Federalist No. 45, James Madison stated, “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” The Anti-Federalists echoed this warning, insisting that the people of each state must guard their own laws and morals because “a distant government is ever unfit to rule the hearts of men.”My stance is clear: protect life, empower the states, and trust the people to make these decisions within their communities, not from the halls of Washington.
Border Security
Our southern border is being overrun, and there’s no polite way to say it. Every day, Americans pay the price through gang violence, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and child exploitation. No nation can survive without secure borders. We must secure our border and make sure American citizens come first before spending taxpayer resources on illegal immigration.I’m firm and unapologetic on this issue: we must finish the border wall, shut down illegal crossings, and hire and equip enough Border Patrol agents to enforce our laws effectively. We also need to update and expand processing facilities so that every individual entering our country is properly vetted and, when necessary, safely returned to their country of origin, not released into American communities.Just as importantly, we must protect children by ensuring they are reunited with their actual parents or legal guardians, not handed over to strangers or traffickers under the failed systems of today.At the same time, we must recognize that America has always been a nation of immigrants who came here seeking freedom and opportunity, LEGALLY. It’s time to reform our immigration system to make it safer, faster, and fairer for those who follow the law, respect our borders, and want to become proud American citizens. Legal immigration should strengthen our nation, not undermine it.Our Founders believed in protecting our sovereignty. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 25, “A nation without borders and the means of defending them is no nation at all.” The Anti-Federalists warned just as clearly that when government “abandons its duty to protect its citizens, liberty soon falls.”I believe in both, a strong border and a fair path to citizenship for those who honor our laws and embrace our values. We can protect our homeland while still welcoming those who want to build the American Dream the right way.
Article IV, Section 4:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Tax Reform
The IRS has become nothing more than a political weapon, used to target, control, and punish hardworking Americans. It’s time to put an end to it once and for all. The solution is the FAIRtax Act.The FAIRtax replaces the tangled web of personal income taxes, corporate taxes, payroll taxes, and every other hidden tax buried in your Form 1040 with a single, transparent national sales tax on new retail goods and services. It’s simple, fair, and honest.Under the FAIRtax, every American citizen and legal permanent resident receives a monthly prebate to untax poverty-level spending, protecting the working class while ensuring everyone pays their fair share when they buy new goods. It will also tax the underground economy, including illegal labor, while encouraging massive foreign investment that will bring jobs and industry back to America.The IRS would be eliminated. The federal government audits the states, the states audit retailers, and consumers are never audited. That’s the way a free country should operate, accountability without intrusion.Our Founding Fathers understood the dangers of unchecked taxation. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 21, “The complete power to levy taxes is the most vital principle of government,” but it must always remain under the watchful eye of the people. The Anti-Federalists warned even more sharply that “taxation is the power most liable to abuse and oppression.” Both sides agreed: taxation must never become a tool of tyranny.The FAIRtax restores that balance. It lets Americans keep what they earn, strengthens economic freedom, and removes the corrupt bureaucracy that has turned the IRS into a weapon against the people.It’s time to abolish the IRS and return power where it belongs, to the American taxpayer.
Education
I believe the federal government has no business running our education system. Education should be controlled at the state and local level, where communities understand the needs of their own children. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. Parents, not Washington bureaucrats, should decide what their children are being taught, without fear of being labeled or targeted for speaking up.Our schools should be focused on real education: arithmetic, reading and literature, science, and American history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Slavery was a dark and tragic chapter in our history, but it is still part of America’s story and must be taught honestly. If we fail to teach history truthfully, we are bound to repeat its mistakes.We must also teach our youth about their rights and freedoms, not just what they are, but why they exist. Every student should understand the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the amendments that protect their liberty. They should study the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers to see the debates, reasoning, and fears our Founding Fathers had when forming this nation. When young Americans know why these principles were written, they gain the wisdom to defend them against tyranny and corruption.We should also be preparing students for success in the real world. That means teaching financial literacy, how to budget, balance a checkbook, pay taxes, and plan for retirement, so that every student can graduate with real-life skills, not just classroom theories.Finally, I want to see our schools promote trade programs that give students the opportunity to learn a craft or skill, allowing them to join the workforce without piling up massive student loan debt. College isn’t the only path to a good life, skilled trades built this country, and they’ll keep it running for generations to come.Our Founders believed education should be shaped by free citizens, not a centralized government. In Federalist No. 45, James Madison made it clear: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.” The Anti-Federalists warned that when power leaves the hands of the people, “it seldom returns without a struggle.” We’re living that struggle right now, and it’s time to return control of our children’s education to parents, teachers, and local communities where it belongs.
safeguarding our children
In speaking with family and friends who work or have worked in the prison system, I’ve learned something deeply disturbing, convicted pedophiles are often given lenient sentences and special treatment behind bars. This is unacceptable and a clear sign that our justice system is failing to protect the most innocent among us: our children.If elected, I will introduce a focused, no-nonsense bill to fix this problem, fewer than ten pages long and written in plain language so the American people can understand it. My legislation will set a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years to life in federal prison for anyone convicted of pedophilia. Under current federal law, offenders must serve at least 85% of their sentence, meaning they would spend a minimum of 21 years behind bars, unable to harm another child.The bill will also end the special treatment these offenders receive inside prisons. They will be placed in general population, not isolated or protected. Justice means accountability, not comfort. If any offender is ever released and reoffends, the punishment will be life in prison without the possibility of parole.I understand there are risks for these individuals in the general population, but those risks are a direct result of their actions, not society’s responsibility. Our duty is to protect law-abiding citizens, not shield predators from the consequences of their crimes.Our Founding Fathers believed justice must be firm, moral, and guided by principle. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 74, the law must “temper mercy with the public good.” The Anti-Federalists agreed that leniency without justice “invites wickedness and weakens the authority of law.” Both sides understood that a society unwilling to protect its children is a society in decline.My stance is simple, protect our children, hold predators fully accountable, and ensure justice is served without exception or favoritism.
