Campaign website
Miller's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
01 Education Political agendas should not be a higher priority than educating Ohioans. We must reject critical race theory and sexual indoctrination at our schools. School choice will allow parents to remove their kids from schools that fail them or attempt to indoctrinate them. Kids should be learning about American civics and skills that will allow them to live a worthwhile life.
Joe Biden’s foreign policy failures have allowed other nations to fill the power vacuum. The botched withdraw in Afghanistan was the first domino to fall. Russian war in Ukraine, a nuclear Iran, North Korea firing missiles again and a deteriorating relationship with China have all followed. We need an America first foreign policy that allows us to lead where we need to, protect our interests, and supports our allies.
Americans are tired of elected officials going to Washington to cash in. Many politicians use insider information and their positions to gain personal wealth and status. This undermines our system and trust from the American public, which is why Max will donate 25% of his congressional salary to charity, refuse to take a congressional pension, and put his assets in a blind trust.
One of the largest industries in Ohio is agriculture. Farmers feed us and drive the American economy. Farmers are also some of the biggest victims of the Biden-Inflation disaster. Rising energy costs and input costs across the board are crushing our farmers and Max will be a voice in Washington working to get Ohio’s farmers the support they need to weather this storm.
Americans are already suffering from the impacts of inflation. The Biden administration has piled on by raising the costs of energy with policies that put China, the Middle East and Russia first by cutting American energy production off at the knees. The time has come to re-commit to American energy independence and make us safer, provide cheaper energy and put Americans back to work.
The lawlessness at the Southern Border has led to illicit drugs on our streets, dangerous criminals getting rich, and human trafficking of innocent victims. Mass migration places strains on services across America. Criminals who should have never been able to enter our country do so freely. The radical position of open borders has made all of us less safe as dangerous drugs like fentanyl kill Americans right here in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District.
We need to do all we can to make America the best place on the planet to create a job. Job creators of all sizes are attacked for their success. The number one thing that will lift our neighbors out of poverty and put them on a path to a better life is a good paying job. Get government out of the way and our job creators will make Ohio and America stronger
Max knows how important law enforcement is in keeping our families safe. While radical Democrats want to defund and degrade our law enforcement on the front lines, Max will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement. With police morale at an all-time low, we run the risk of losing some of most important members of our community at a time when we need them the most.
The Biden Administration will offer every excuse possible for why the American people are being crushed by inflation. Overspending led us to this disaster and Democrats want to keep pushing us over the cliff by dumping in more cash and raising taxes on working families. Max believes our only way out of this mess is to curb spending, lower taxes and get Americans back to work.[4] |
