“Grow the Economy and Small Businesses I believe in the American Dream. If you work hard and play by the rules, then you should succeed. Government shouldn’t be in the business of picking winners and losers. We need to eliminate burdensome regulations, so our small businesses can grow and prosper.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes)) “Strengthen Our Borders America needs strong borders. We need to know who – and what – is coming into our country, and the safety of our communities is in jeopardy. I will work every day to secure our borders and protect our nation.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes)) “Balance the Budget I firmly believe in the Balanced Budget Amendment. American families have to live within their means, it’s time our government does too. We cannot saddle our future generations with undue financial burden.”
