| Collapse all
- I believe we are all entitled to the knowledge we are entitled to personal, professional, and national safety and security.
- We have experienced out of control spending the past three years. Americans have been struggling to make ends meet, pay bills, and thrive. We need to impose fiscal responsible behavior in Congress.
- Regardless of who we are as Americans, we have more in common in our personal values and beliefs and should find a common interest to grow from in resolving problems and addressing issues important to all Americans.

Key Issues
Restoring American Ideals and Values I believe in reinforcing the principles of our constitutional republic, emphasizing individual rights, and ensuring equal opportunities for all to thrive. Hard work and dedication should always pave the way to success in our great nation. Promoting Accountability in Public Office I am committed to establishing a stronger sense of accountability among public office holders. Decisions should always be made in the best interest of the public rather than personal gain. Transparency and ethical conduct within government will be a top priority. Improving Problem-Solving Mechanisms I am dedicated to revisiting and refining existing solutions to persistent problems. Effective and long-term benefits should be at the core of our solutions, which is why I will implement rigorous evaluation and feedback mechanisms for our policies.[2] |
