Free elections require trust, transparency, and verification. I support the SAVE Act to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections and support recognizing REAL ID-compliant identification as proof of eligibility for lawful voters. Election policy must balance access with integrity through accurate voter rolls, secure ballot chain-of-custody procedures, and timely reporting of results. Transparency and accountability in every public system are essential to restoring confidence in elections and government.
The rising cost of living is a survival issue for Ohio families. Congress must reduce costs by eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse rather than expanding bureaucracy. I support abolishing property taxes for homeowners by diversifying revenue through lottery, gambling, and marijuana tax streams so seniors are never taxed out of homes they already paid for. I support making Section 199A small-business deductions permanent and fixing the benefits cliff so raises never cost families essential support. Congress also has the constitutional authority to pursue healthcare alternatives to the ACA supporting a telehealth-first model with transparent pricing, preventive care, and low copays. Prevention is fiscal discipline.
Hyper-partisanship recedes when leaders anchor decisions in the Constitution rather than party brand protection. Congress should return focus to the enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8 and reduce federal overreach that fuels distrust. The Rosemary Red Standard emphasizes measurable outcomes, local control with federal guardrails, and fiscal accountability governance by proof, not promises. Bipartisan progress becomes possible when policy focuses on results, such as requiring AI data centers to fund the electrical grid upgrades their operations demand and protecting Ohio ratepayers.
America's foreign policy must be guided by constitutional responsibility, strength, and clarity. Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the authority to declare war, and military engagement should always be the last resort after diplomacy and strategic alliances. Peace through strength means maintaining a capable military while investing in cyber defense, secure borders, energy independence, and resilient infrastructure. Strong alliances matter, but every international commitment must serve American interests and Ohio families first. Human rights remain a guiding principle America's global leadership should deter aggression, promote stability, and always remain anchored in constitutional governance.
Immigration policy must restore order and respect for the rule of law. The Constitution gives Congress authority over naturalization under Article I, Section 8. I support securing the border, modern detection technology, and coordination between federal, state, and local law enforcement to combat fentanyl trafficking, cartels, and human trafficking. Enforcement should prioritize violent criminals and repeat offenders. I oppose sanctuary policies that obstruct federal enforcement. Lawful voluntary self-deportation restores order while protecting legal immigration pathways hardworking families earned.
