Criminal Justice / Public Safety

At the same time, accountability is an important part of maintaining public trust. When misconduct occurs, it should be addressed appropriately. This includes improving information sharing between departments when officers are removed for cause, so that patterns of behavior are not overlooked. Learn more

Public safety depends on maintaining a professional and effective law enforcement workforce. That includes ensuring officers have the training, resources, and support needed to do their jobs safely and responsibly. Learn more

Defense / Veterans

The United States must remain prepared to address potential threats from near-peer competitors such as China and Russia, as well as ongoing challenges posed by countries like North Korea. These nations maintain significant military capabilities and, in some cases, rely on force as a primary tool of state power. Maintaining readiness requires continued investment in modernization, including cyber capabilities, joint command and control systems, and the nuclear triad. Learn more

Addressing these issues requires consistent oversight and accountability. This includes reviewing how programs are implemented, identifying where regulations create unnecessary obstacles, and ensuring that policies remain focused on serving veterans effectively. Learn more

That support includes access to education programs such as the GI Bill, disability compensation for service-related injuries, and reliable access to healthcare and other services. Learn more

That experience shaped my view that service members must be properly equipped, supported, and cared for. They should have the best equipment available and not be placed in avoidable risk. It also means ensuring safe housing, clean water, and compensation that reflects their responsibilities and cost of living. Learn more

Economy

In recent years, changes in regulatory policy contributed to increased business activity, job growth, and wage gains in many sectors. A competitive labor market can provide workers with greater opportunities and upward mobility, while also supporting business expansion. Learn more

Economic growth is strongest when markets are competitive and predictable. Government policy should aim to create a stable environment rather than favoring specific companies or industries. Learn more

Education

Parents should have a central role in their children’s education, and local school boards should have the authority to make decisions on curriculum, funding, and school policies. Learn more

Expanding federal involvement can reduce flexibility and create uniform policies that may not reflect local priorities. Returning greater control to states and communities allows for more responsive decision-making and accountability. Learn more

Foreign Policy

The war in Iran highlights the complexity of modern conflict. Military action, particularly when it involves critical infrastructure or risks broader escalation, carries long-term strategic consequences. Decisions involving the use of force should be made with clear objectives, defined limits, and an understanding of how they affect both regional stability and the safety of U.S. Personnel.

Guns

I also have concerns about policies such as red flag laws that may restrict access to firearms without sufficient due process protections. Any approach to public safety should ensure that constitutional rights are preserved while addressing legitimate concerns. Learn more

I have concerns about regulatory overreach by federal agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), particularly when rules are expanded without clear legislative authority. Learn more

Healthcare

Regulatory requirements also play a role. When healthcare providers spend significant time on administrative tasks rather than patient care, it can affect both efficiency and outcomes. Reviewing and streamlining these requirements may help providers focus more on delivering care. Learn more

Several factors contribute to these costs, including market concentration among large healthcare systems, insurance providers, and pharmaceutical companies. Addressing anti-competitive practices and improving transparency can help create a more balanced and accessible system. Learn more

Immigration

I support legal immigration and believe it continues to play an important role in the country’s growth and development. A system that works effectively should recognize those who follow the law and provide clear, consistent pathways for individuals and families. Learn more

At the same time, immigration policy depends on consistent enforcement of existing laws. That includes maintaining border security, addressing visa overstays, and ensuring that agencies have the tools needed to enforce current policies. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

Addressing the debt will require reducing spending growth and making decisions about priorities. Some expenditures, particularly in response to emergencies or essential national needs, may be necessary. At the same time, ongoing spending should be evaluated to ensure it is effective and aligned with long-term fiscal goals. Learn more
