I began leadership training at age 12 in military school in 1973. I enlisted in the US Army November 22, 1978 and went on active duty July 29, 1979. I left active duty in 1989 and continued to serve in the reserves until 1992. The rigors of training as a Deep Sea Diver for the US Army prepared me to handle difficult challenges, without fear of failure, through problem solving skills learned in the military. I have over 25 years of experience managing businesses as a fiscal conservative.
Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution gives states the right to choose its elected representatives, but congress may modify this through legislation. Little has been done about voter integrity since the 14th amendment and the civil rights acts of 1957 and 1964. Complexity and lack of uniformity amongst the states voting processes makes a federal mandate for a uniform voting system the only practical solution. The challenge is getting 50 states to agree to a federal mandate.
I believe people are moving in a positive direction to treat the planet better. As technology advances we have more and more options available to us for cleaner energy. The problem with great issues like this in the US is elected officials use this and other issues as political poker chips. To make progress on environmental challenges, we need to take it out of the hands of government and let the private sector oversee the proper administration of environmental solutions.
US immigration policies and laws are more then sufficient to administer people legally entering the country. The true issue facing our nation is invasion of the United States by foreign nationals. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is clear. Congress has the power to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions. Change is not required. Congress simply needs to do their job by enforcing the Constitution.
The 2nd Amendment is clear, we have the right to own firearms. Regulation of firearms by the government seems acceptable provided it does not violate the right to bear arms . There are an estimated 393 million firearms in circulation of which 6 million are registered. If registering 387 million firearms will reduce crime, I will cross the aisle to accomplish incremental changes, which is better than the status quo, because nothing changes if nothing changes!

In addition to being a US Navy veteran, I was a practicing physician for over 30 years, and have been serving the First Congressional District in Congress since 2011. I sit on the Appropriations Committee, and Chair the Agriculture subcommittee, which is important to the economy of the district.
We must ensure the integrity of our elections by requiring voter ID and signature verification of mail-in ballots. Electronic voting should not be allowed - only paper ballots which can be audited in a recount. We cannot allow illegal aliens to vote in any elections.
We have to invest in research to allow us to transition from fossil fuel energy to safe nuclear energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and eventually to fusion energy. Until then we should take advantage of our huge natural gas reserves, which are an environmentally-friendly way of producing energy.
We have to deport the millions of illegal immigrants who were allowed to enter the US under the Biden administration. We also have to strengthen the H2B temporary foreign worker program that our district economy depends on.
The Second amendment guarantees the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. In the current environment of increasing violent crime and the restrictions placed on law enforcement to do their jobs, the need for self-defense is even more important than ever. Increasing violent crime by illegal aliens makes this problem even worse.

From interacting with various groups and people, I have been privileged with seeing many walks of life. This has shown me the struggles of everyday people. The same people who have been forgotten again and again.
An election is unsecure when people don't care and stay home. I truly believe the best way to make sure the will of the people is followed is to instill a desire to turn up and make their voice heard.
Teddy Roosevelt made the National Park service. Richard Nixon made the EPA. I strive to find balance between keeping a clean country and letting people do what needs to be done. I will work with companies to allow more drilling and or fracking but do my best to limit environmental damage.
Its not that we need new laws. We need to hold the people not enforcing them accountable. With the recent vote to impeach Mayorkas, its showing that we can hold officials who ignore their duty accountable. Crossing the border is already illegal. Illegal immigration is a slap in the face to legal immigrants and American citizens.
I believe in Firearm safety. Now I'm more inclined to enjoy a manual safety rather than a simple trigger safety. (sorry not sorry to all the Glock fan boys but I am more of a TWO World wars kinda guy)
All jokes aside I support legal gun owners. The fact is most gun crimes in America are done with people who are barred from owning firearms.
When it comes to Gun control, people are just asking for less gun deaths. I understand them but taking rights away from legal owners is not the way.
