National security starts with securing our own nation. I support finishing the border, stopping fentanyl and human trafficking, enforcing immigration laws, and requiring E-Verify to protect American jobs and discourage illegal employment. I support a strong and prepared military, stronger cybersecurity, and protecting America from growing threats overseas and online. I believe Congress — not one person — should decide when America goes to war. We should avoid endless conflicts and focus on protecting American citizens, interests, and freedoms. Fiscal responsibility also matters because a nation buried in debt becomes weaker and more vulnerable.
Congress was designed to be a check on concentrated power. Its job is to write laws, control spending, provide oversight, and hold both the executive and judicial branches accountable when necessary. Congress should represent the people — not simply protect political parties or powerful interests. I believe Congress has a responsibility to defend the Constitution, ask tough questions, and ensure government stays within its proper limits. That includes reclaiming its responsibility over spending and declarations of war instead of handing more authority to unelected agencies or the executive branch.
Every legal citizen deserves confidence that their vote counts and is protected fairly and securely. I support voter ID, proof of citizenship, accurate voter rolls, and transparent election processes. Protecting voting rights also means protecting election integrity. When people trust the process and know the rules are applied fairly, confidence in our republic is strengthened.

As a conservative Republican candidate and strong supporter of President Trump’s America First agenda, I firmly support a comprehensive national security strategy grounded in strength and sovereignty. We must urgently deploy our own Iron Dome missile defense system to shield American cities from emerging aerial threats. Our military requires robust rebuilding to restore peace through strength, as President Trump so effectively demonstrated. Secure borders with physical barriers, advanced technology, and decisive enforcement, including mass deportations, are non-negotiable. Additionally, we should withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities that harbor criminal illegal immigrants, ensuring accountability and rule of law.
Congress serves as a vital check on the executive and judicial branches through the power of the purse, oversight, and legislation. We control funding to restrain wasteful spending and executive overreach, confirm judges and Cabinet officials to ensure constitutional fidelity, and conduct investigations to uphold accountability.
I will protect every legal American citizen’s voting rights by passing the Save America Act.No illegal votes will dilute the voice of law-abiding citizens; secure, fair elections are the foundation of our republic.
