| Collapse all
- Integrity Over Insiders This campaign is about restoring accountability and ending politics-as-usual. Voters deserve leaders who answer to them, not to megadonors or party bosses. Every decision will be rooted in service, transparency, and respect for the Constitution.
- Main Street First Families are struggling with affordability, healthcare, and opportunity. The focus is on cutting wasteful spending, lowering taxes, protecting rural healthcare, and empowering small businesses. Government should work for working people, not special interests.
- Unity Through Courage Division and spectacle have weakened trust in public life. This campaign rejects sensationalism and rewards courage. By defending freedoms, supporting veterans, and promoting honest debate, we can rebuild institutions and bring people together.
First, we must pass term limits for Congress so no one can turn public office into a lifelong career. Fresh leadership ensures accountability and keeps power in the hands of voters. Second, we need to ban single-stock trading by members of Congress. Public servants should never profit from insider knowledge; their duty is to the people, not their portfolios. Third, reform must strengthen campaign finance rules, reducing the influence of megadonors and crypto billionaires so grassroots voices carry real weight. Together, these policies restore integrity, cut corruption, and guarantee that government serves families—not factions.
