If elected, what policy changes would you support to address health care accessibility and affordability?

Remove barriers to healthcare interstate access to ensure competitive options & market to help initiate lower competitive pricing.

If elected, what actions, if any, would you support to create a pathway to citizenship or legal residency?

I do not support any pathway to citizenship or residency for any illegals that violated U.S. law in entering the United States. I will Fully Support President Trump's Massive deportation program!

If elected, how will you work to achieve environmental justice, ensuring all communities receive equitable access to clean air, water, and response to climate disasters?

I will support Congressional and executive action to end the environmental disaster which is the Green New Deal which would endanger all life on this planet.

The U.S. inflation rate for 2023 decreased 3.1% and unemployment is at an all-time low. If elected to Congress, what would you do to continue this economic trajectory?

The U.S. inflation rate is not 3.1% it is over 7%; regardless I would work with President Trump to lower the rate back down to 1.3% which only happened under Trump & eliminate gov agencies & pass IOR for all foriegn spending prorated.

If elected, what action will you support to help District 1 residents receive affordable internet connectivity?

Bringing competitive provers to compete with Comcast & ATT. That would drastically drop pricing; including building locality access connection center which municipalities would profit by leasing to providers.

AI is the latest threat to our election process. What can be done to maintain the security and integrity of our election infrastructure?

Ban lobbying, foreign WEF interference, removing all protections by FED to Facebook & Google and Voter ID with paper ballots. Citizenship required w/proof.
