We strengthen the economy by lowering everyday costs and investing where growth actually starts: workers, small businesses, infrastructure, housing, and skills training. I support targeted tax relief for working families, bringing down health care and prescription costs, modernizing roads and broadband, and expanding workforce pipelines so people can get good-paying jobs without being buried in debt. We also need fiscal responsibility, because rising deficits and interest costs squeeze out room for long-term investment.
Congress must make it clear that border security and due process go together. That means stronger oversight, clear use-of-force and detention standards, body-camera and record-retention requirements where appropriate, real consequences for misconduct, and regular public reporting to Congress. We should fund training that emphasizes constitutional rights and require independent review when abuses are alleged. Enforcement should focus on real public-safety threats, not cutting corners on the rule of law.
The U.S. should treat public health preparedness like national security: detect threats early, share data fast, and respond locally before outbreaks become national crises. That means investing in state and local health departments, lab capacity, emergency stockpiles, hospital readiness, and clear public communication. We should strengthen coordination among CDC, hospitals, schools, and local governments so response plans are ready before the next emergency, not built in the middle of one.
Congress has a constitutional duty to lead on questions of war. The President is commander in chief, but Congress holds the power to declare war, fund military action, conduct oversight, and set legal limits on the use of force. My view is simple: no blank checks, no open-ended conflict, and no military escalation without clear objectives, lawful authority, and accountability to the American people. Congress must debate it, vote on it, and own the decision.

I believe the best way to strengthen the American economy is to lower taxes, cut burdensome regulations, unleash American energy, support small businesses, and bring manufacturing jobs back home. South Carolina families know how to spend their money better than Washington bureaucrats do. Congress should focus on pro-growth tax policy, workforce development, energy independence, and reducing reckless federal spending that drives inflation.
ICE and DHS agents have a vital responsibility to enforce our immigration laws and keep American families safe. Congress should ensure they have the resources, training, and clear legal guidance necessary to do their jobs effectively and lawfully.
The United States must be prepared before a crisis begins. That means secure medical supply chains, support for local hospitals and health departments, and rapid coordination between federal, state, and local officials. We must protect public health while also respecting individual liberty, parental rights, and the ability of businesses, churches, and schools to operate without unnecessary federal overreach.
Congress has a constitutional responsibility to provide oversight, fund our military, and ensure the American people are informed about the mission, strategy, and costs involved. Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. I support standing with our allies, especially Israel, defending American servicemembers, and making sure any military action is tied to a clear objective: protecting America’s national security and preventing a nuclear Iran.
