As an everyday American tired of the abuse of power in Washington, I've decided to take a stand against the status quo by running to unseat Mike Johnson. The American people have endured far too long the wasteful spending and constant nickel-and-diming by politicians while they sell out to special interests and prioritize pet projects over our needs. It's time for a change.
None of them seem to remember the oath they took to uphold the Constitution, but I do. As a father of two, including a baby girl I delivered at home, I understand the importance of safeguarding our constitutional principles for future generations. I refuse to shy away from challenging the establishment and will tirelessly fight to restore integrity and adherence to the Constitution, day and night.
My vision for tax reform includes a simple and fair 9% flat tax for all, coupled with abolishing the convoluted tax code that benefits the wealthy and well-connected. I stand firmly for the sanctity of life, support the legalization of recreational marijuana, and staunchly defend our Second Amendment rights.
By electing me as your representative in Washington, you're not just choosing a voice—you're choosing a fighter who will relentlessly advocate for your interests and ensure that your voice is heard loud and clear. Together, let's bring real change to DC and reclaim our government for the people, by the people.- I will fight for each state to have their own F22 to be used by that state for defensive measures.
- I will fight for each state to have its own missile defense to include Iron Dome.
- I will put Americans and The Constitution first when introducing and voting for laws.

Campaign website
Morott’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Air & Border Security Joshua believes in closing and defending our borders by any means necessary. He argues that current congressional funding supports both the invasion and enforcement, resulting in wasted resources and taxpayer money. Joshua also advocates for revamping TSA procedures to adopt Israel's airport security methods, which are less invasive and harassing. Joshua proposes that each state must be provided with an F22 and their own independent missile defense system given the current threats by Russia, China, & Iran. Veterans' Rights Joshua is committed to better serving veterans, proposing the creation of Veteran Retirement Communities for aging and homeless veterans. He firmly believes that no veteran in America should ever be homeless. Economy and Jobs Joshua stresses the need to stop congressional waste on pork projects, which he views as abusive and fraudulent. He attributes high inflation to Congress's excessive spending and emphasizes the importance of fiscal responsibility. Healthcare Joshua advocates for the repeal of Obamacare or requiring Congress to sign up for it themselves. He proposes extending group insurance to churches and other organizations, allowing members to purchase discounted group insurance through their affiliations. Education Joshua supports abolishing the Department of Education, believing education should be managed at the state level. He emphasizes the need to teach the Constitution at every grade level and to find ways to lower college tuition. Joshua calls for stripping public colleges of their non-profit status until tuition becomes affordable and ensuring profits from college sports are not exploited for outrageous salaries. He also seeks reforms on Pell Grant programs to focus on skills and trades that serve America in the long term, rather than non-skilled degrees. Additionally, Joshua is against DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) education and believes all DEI departments should be abolished. He is a strong advocate for school choice via a voucher system. Foreign Aid Joshua is against all foreign aid until America takes care of its own first. He believes that the country's resources should be focused on addressing domestic issues and ensuring the well-being of American citizens before assisting other nations. Term Limits Joshua is a proponent of implementing term limits, advocating for a maximum of two terms for local, state, and federal public service. He also supports activating the Convention of States under Article 5 of the Constitution, believing that Congress will never enact limitations on themselves without external pressure. |
