What are the most important challenges facing our country, and how do you propose to address them?
Families are being squeezed by rising costs, lack of opportunity, and a growing disconnect between government and everyday people. At the same time, public trust in institutions has declined.
We need to focus on lowering costs, strengthening our economy, and restoring accountability in government. That means responsible spending, supporting American jobs and small businesses, securing our borders, and making sure policies actually help working families.
I bring a real world perspective from construction and project management, where results matter. We need practical solutions, not politics, and leadership that puts people ahead of special interests.
What policies would you support to ease the cost of living and strengthen long-term economic stability for families in this district?
To ease the cost of living, we need to lower energy costs, reduce inflationary spending, and support job growth, especially in skilled trades and small businesses.
I support policies that encourage domestic energy production, reduce unnecessary regulations that drive up costs, and provide real pathways to good paying jobs without requiring massive debt.
We should also strengthen supply chains here at home to reduce reliance on foreign countries. Economic stability comes from strong local economies, opportunities for workers, and policies that reward hard work.
What changes would you support to make healthcare and mental health services more affordable, accessible, and easier to navigate?
Healthcare should be more affordable, transparent, and easier to navigate. I support increasing price transparency so patients know what they are paying for, expanding access to care, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy that drives up costs.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. We need better access to mental health services, especially for veterans, first responders, and young people.
We should also support community based solutions and ensure insurance systems work for patients, not against them.
What is your position on immigration reform? What do you think the relationship between federal immigration enforcement and state or local government institutions should be?
We need a secure border and an immigration system that is fair, orderly, and based on the rule of law. Legal immigration should be respected and strengthened.
The federal government is responsible for enforcing immigration law, and there should be cooperation, not conflict, between federal, state, and local agencies, especially when it comes to public safety.
At the same time, we need practical solutions that address workforce needs and improve the legal immigration process.
What is your stance on access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare? And what roles should the federal government and the states each play on reproductive healthcare?
This is a deeply personal and often difficult issue. I believe in respecting life and approaching this topic with compassion and understanding.
I recognize there are complex situations, including cases involving violence or serious risks to a mother’s health. I believe states should take the lead in setting policy, and I do not support taxpayer funding for abortion.
My focus would be on supporting women and families, expanding access to care, and ensuring people have the information and resources they need to make informed decisions.
What actions would you support to strengthen climate resilience and protect infrastructure and neighborhoods from the impact of extreme weather?
We need to strengthen infrastructure to withstand extreme weather and protect our communities. That includes investing in flood control, stormwater systems, and resilient construction practices.
As someone in construction, I have seen firsthand how important it is to build things right the first time. We should prioritize practical improvements that protect homes, businesses, and public safety.
We can support innovation and responsible energy solutions while making sure policies are realistic and do not place unnecessary burdens on working families.
What measures do you support to expand voter access and restore trust in our elections?
Every eligible voter should have the opportunity to vote, and every vote should be counted accurately.
That means making voting accessible while also ensuring strong safeguards, transparency, and accountability in the process.
Restoring trust requires clear rules, consistent procedures, and confidence that elections are conducted fairly and securely.
