New Jersey faces several urgent challenges, including high taxes, unchecked overdevelopment without proper infrastructure planning, and the need for school choice. To address these, I will fight to lower the tax burden on hardworking residents, ensure responsible development that prioritizes infrastructure and quality of life, and advocate for school choice programs that empower parents to make the best educational decisions for their children.
The United States is and will always be a Constitutional Republic, and protecting our Bill of Rights must be a top priority. Unfortunately, the current administration and General Assembly have openly contradicted the Constitution. To strengthen our Republic, we must hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable. Any elected official or government employee who enforces or enacts laws that directly violate our Constitution should face criminal prosecution and removal from office.
I will push for the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency in New Jersey to track taxpayer dollars, eliminate wasteful spending, and ensure financial transparency. By cutting unnecessary programs and streamlining government operations, we can protect the hard-earned money of New Jerseyans and foster an environment that supports businesses and job growth.
New Jersey must implement a school voucher program. Parents deserve the right to choose the best educational path for their children. Whether that be public, private, charter, or homeschooling, no child should be forced into a failing system! The government should not hold a monopoly on education; competition will drive improvement and ensure every child has access to the resources they need to succeed.
As a descendant of legal immigrants, I support a common-sense approach to immigration. New Jersey must cooperate with ICE to reduce the number of illegal immigrants residing in our state. In 2024 alone, New Jersey spent over $7.2 billion on services for illegal immigrants. That money could have been used to benefit American citizens. The government does not generate revenue; it collects money from hardworking taxpayers! We must prioritize spending on our communities, infrastructure, and education rather than incentivizing illegal immigration.
