| Collapse all
Michael is not a career politician but passionately cares about the district and the state of this country. During his 20 years as a Federal Contractor, he knows what it means to serve the country and the great deal of sacrifice of so many to secure the nation. He strongly believes in protecting the family unit especially at a time when traditional values and our education system are under attack. He is passionate about protecting our future generations, 2nd Amendment, medical freedom and defending our liberties. In these times our communities deserve someone who has their best interests in mind.
- I will fight to ensure our rights are preserved. There are certain groups that think our rights are a form of selfishness. I would propose that all of our young people have their own copy of their constitutional rights/civil liberties to ensure that our younger generations will be able to identify government overreach. All while encouraging the importance of having respect for authority.
- In Congress, I will work to cut costs in prescription medications and introduce new solutions to improve health. Bring awareness and more recognition to alternative medicine and procedures. There needs to be more of a push for proper nutrition instead of medication if possible. I will fight against medical tyranny and support medical freedom.
- We must secure our borders and become a deterrent for those who fund and profit from human/child trafficking. It is vital to ensure our borders are protected and to keep out individuals from other countries that may pose a threat to American citizens. It is important that we also encourage and express the importance of legal immigration.
