| Collapse all
I will introduce groundbreaking bills. My Tax Relief Act ensures you pay no federal income tax on the first $50,000 of earned income. My Immigration Act demands strict enforcement of existing laws, imposing severe penalties, including jail time for violators. I vehemently advocate for the eradication of drug cartels in the United States and Mexico. My Welfare Act redirects welfare from illegal immigrants to struggling Americans and veterans. My Homeless Act boldly removes the homeless from the streets, placing them in treatment centers where an independent review board determines release times in the patient’s best interest. As a small business owner, I champion fair competition between small businesses and corporate giants. I fight passionately for parental involvement in education, integrity in women's sports, a balanced approach to reproductive rights, accessible healthcare, and bipartisan solutions to bridge the gap between Democrat and Republican extremes.
- No Federal taxes on the first $50,000 of earned income.
- Legal Immigration only. Deport all unvetted and incarcerated illegals.
- Make all criminals accountable including corrupt politicians to smash and grabbers, and all others.
