priorities
BUDGET & SPENDING
If we are ever going to break Washington’s spending addiction, we must stop governing by crisis, and start governing by principle
DEFENSE
Strengthening U.S. national security and protecting our men and women in uniform is my number one priority in Congress
ECONOMY & JOBS
Lighting up our economy and empowering job creators are how we create a bright future for our children and grandchildren
Family, Faith, & Freedom
For many Americans, our faith isn’t just something we practice, it’s part of who we are and part of our heritage as a nation
Government Reform
Limited government is effective government. That means we need Washington to get out of the way, and return power to We the People
Immigration
America is a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Secure the border. No amnesty. Enforce our current laws
Seniors
Our government must keep its promises to our seniors. That means protecting their peace-of-mind by preserving Social Security and Medicare
Veterans
Fighting to provide veterans with the care and support they have earned is not just a duty, it’s an honor
Services
I want to serve my constituents in any way that I can, and I hope that this section will put helpful resources at the fingertips of parents, small business owners, organizations seeking grants, military members, and many others.
