| Collapse all
- Every child deserves a first class education regardless of their zip code. We must also ensure they are educated for life, not indoctrinated by political agendas.
- By 2050, our national debt will have us at a point of no return. We must reign in the debt, reduce inflation, and get our country back to balancing our budget - just like our families have to do.
- Under the Biden Administration, America has betrayed our allies and emboldened our enemies. We must ensure that all Americans are safe, both at home and abroad, and lead in a way that fosters respect and trust throughout the international community.
Balancing the Budget and Reducing National Debt
Recovering from COVID and Helping Small Businesses
National Security

Campaign website
Staples' campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
STOP CRITICAL RACE THEORY ENSURE BORDER SECURITY FIGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY Election integrity is absolutely critical to American government. We must ensure that every legal vote is counted, and continue to fight for laws which make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. Further, we must work to comprehensively review our election processes so that we can guarantee free and fair elections and restore faith in one of our most fundamental institutions. PROTECT LIFE I am a proud supporter of women, babies, and all life. I believe life begins at conception and I will work to protect the unborn during all stages of pregnancy and birth. As a society it is within our power and resources to create and further promote alternatives such as adoption, adoption aid, counseling and prenatal care. I will work to establish a safe and nurturing environment of support and acceptance for women facing a difficult pregnancy and I will be dedicated to building a societal norm that values all human life and holds it in the most sacred and highest regard. FULLY FUND THE POLICE UPHOLD THE 2ND AMENDMENT STAND WITH ISRAEL Israel has long-been a cherished ally of the United States. Our two nations have remained steadfast partners in our joint efforts to combat terror, boost free enterprise, and advance freedom across the globe. I support President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocate the U.S. Embassy. I will always respect Israel's right to defend itself and will stand against terrorist organizations and state-sponsors of terror like Iran, which seek to destroy Israel, threaten America, and undermine freedom everywhere. I will work to strengthen the American-Israeli partnership in Congress, standing with Israel and against anti-semitism in all its forms.[3] |
