Here’s what I’ll fight for in Congress.
In the US House, I’ll put the needs of everyday Americans and our Constitution first. Click on any of my platform planks to learn more about what I believe.
Affordable Healthcare
I believe every American should have access to affordable, quality healthcare. We need practical, long-term reforms that can bring down costs over time while ensuring that no one is left behind. A big part of the problem is unnecessary and duplicative treatments, along with administrative inefficiencies and wasteful spending, which we can address through smart regulation and market-driven solutions. The reason we have programs like Medicare and Medicaid in the first place is because the market fails to cover the needs of seniors, low-income families, and those with disabilities. It’s our responsibility to continue supporting these vital programs to ensure these individuals can get the care they need. The goal isn’t just to reduce costs—it’s to improve health outcomes for everyone and ensure that no one has to choose between healthcare and other basic needs.
Strong Foreign Policy
I believe in strengthening our relationships with our allies and partners around the world, based on mutual respect, shared values, and free, fair trade. Our economy and security depend on strong ties with like-minded democracies. However, we must be clear: while we pursue cooperation and diplomacy with our friends, we should not compromise our principles. We should not cozy up to dictatorships or authoritarian regimes that undermine human rights, freedom, and the rule of law. America’s role in the world should reflect our values of democracy and justice, and we should lead by example, not by appeasement.
Fair, Secure Immigration
I believe in a secure border and a fair, legal immigration system. We can—and must—do both. For too long, both parties have used immigration as a political football instead of coming together to solve real problems. Border security is a basic function of government, and we need smart, effective enforcement to stop illegal crossings, drug trafficking, and exploitation. At the same time, we need to modernize our legal immigration system to meet workforce needs—especially in agriculture, health care, and tech—and to ensure people who play by the rules have a clear path forward.
Disciplined Fiscal Policy
I believe in fiscal discipline and living within our means. Our nation can’t keep borrowing from the future—we need to get serious about spending restraint and work toward a balanced budget. I believe we need to be honest about how we got here. During Donald Trump’s first term, the federal debt grew by nearly 40%, while under Joe Biden the national debt increased by about 25%. That’s not sustainable, and it’s neither conservative nor progressive—it’s just irresponsible. If we want to secure our economy for the next generation, we need to stop the finger-pointing and start making tough, responsible choices—no matter who’s in office.
Quality Education
I’m a proud supporter of our public schools and the teachers who show up every day to give our kids the best shot at a strong future. But I also believe parents should have a real seat at the table when it comes to what’s being taught in the classroom. Families deserve to know what their children are learning and to be part of the conversation. Our schools work best when there’s trust and teamwork between parents, teachers, and local school boards—when we listen to each other and put kids first. That’s how we build an education system that reflects our values and prepares the next generation to thrive.
Criminal Justice & Policing
I strongly support law enforcement and the vital role police officers play in keeping our communities safe. I believe in ensuring officers have the resources and respect they need to do their jobs. At the same time, I believe in second chances and compassion. Supporting the police and supporting rehabilitation are not opposing values—they’re both essential to a just and safe society. Many people who have broken the law are capable of turning their lives around, and we should support efforts to help them re-enter society, find work, and contribute in a positive way. That’s why I worked for years in the prison system teaching literacy, helping inmates find employment after release, and doing bible study.
Reproductive Health & Freedom
We need to find ways to work through the abortion issue to create policies that bring people together, not drive them apart. I believe that we should be doing what we can to reduce the number of abortions by supporting women, families, and children before and after birth. That means investing in maternal health, ensuring access to contraception, enhancing adoption and foster care systems, and making sure no woman feels like abortion is her only option. However, the law should not be an impediment to a woman making the health care choices she needs to make with her doctor.
Second Amendment Rights
As a responsible gun owner, I believe in the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms, and I also believe we can do more to keep our communities safe. My family taught me about responsible gun ownership, including the importance of safety and respect for firearms. We need to enforce the laws already on the books, while also working together—across party lines—to find common-sense solutions that reduce gun violence, keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals, and protect both our rights and our communities.
Agriculture & Farming
I grew up on a farm, and we’re still trying to keep the farm going. Agriculture is the backbone of our economy and our communities, and I support policies that protect family farms, promote fair markets, and reduce unnecessary federal red tape. I believe in standing up for our farmers—not just in good times, but when disaster strikes—and keeping agriculture strong as a cornerstone of American strength and independence. That includes fighting for fair trade policies that open, not close, foreign markets to our agricultural products, and opposing unnecessary tariffs that hurt our farmers’ ability to export what they produce. We should also invest in rural infrastructure, preserve farmland for future generations, and ensure farmers have access to the tools and technologies they need to succeed.
