Cost of living due to National debt and congress wasteful spending Transparency and accountability My solution is financial and Constitutional audits of all government agencies.we can't fix what we don't know. In my travels I came across a group of guys who created a program that lets taxpayers see where their money is going live time and can interact live time .if we intensive government to do the right thing because they're being watched thats ultimate Transparency and accountability in my eyes
We need to enforce and follow guidelines that are already in place instead of treating them as suggestions. Illegal is illegal that simple. Of course they will be treated humanly that goes without saying. People absolutely have a right to free speech regardless if you agree with them or not. However blocking highways or ignoring cities rules or permits should be followed for public safety.
America is a Constitutional Republic As a US Senator they are confined to Article 1 section 8 clearly list 18 enumerated powers of congress I'd also make sure that all those powers are being followed by fellow members..
Audit the federal reserve and hopefully ended. I believe printing more money os not the answer and leads to inflation and rising cost and devaluation of the dollar
We need to get back to following the Constitution instead of whoever is in power makes the rules also federal judges have to learn their boundaries also .

The top three challenges facing our country are: * Unrigging the economy and lowering costs for families and small businesses * Defending and restoring personal freedoms * Taking on corruption in Washington by standing up for New Hampshire against Donald Trump’s reckless policies and taking on corporate special interests.

I have detailed my proposals to address these challenges in my answers to the questions below.
For far too long, politicians in both parties have kicked the can, played politics, and failed to take meaningful action to reform our immigration system. I support comprehensive, common-sense reform that will help fix our broken system and allow immigrants who work hard and follow the a shot at their American dream. I support the American Dream and Promise Act, which would provide Dreamers with a path to U.S. citizenship, as well as the Dignity Act, a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill that would address legal status and protections for undocumented immigrants, border security, asylum reform, and visa reform. I wrote the bill to redirect ICE’s $75 billion slush fund to local law enforcement to improve public safety.
I’m running to change how Washington works & bring long-overdue reforms to a broken system. I introduced the DISCLOSE Act to stop billionaires & corporate special interests from secretly buying our elections and support overturning Citizens United to restore power to the people. I keep fight to pass the bipartisan Clean Legislating & Ethical Accountability Now Act, which I introduced to codify the Office of Congressional Ethics. I broke with Democratic House leadership to support a ban on congressional stock trading. I strongly support the Fighting Foreign Influence Act, which would impose a lifetime ban on former members of Congress, U.S. military officers, & senior executive branch officals from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.
I’m working to lower energy costs for New Hampshire families by cutting energy taxes, protecting heating assistance programs like LIHEAP, and defending clean energy tax credits. I’ll continue taking on Big Pharma and insurance companies that put profits ahead of patients. I helped cap insulin costs and successfully fought to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. I’m fighting to lower grocery costs by taking on corporate price gouging and opposing Trump’s reckless tariffs. I voted to deliver an increase to the Child Tax Credit during the pandemic and am committed to continue fighting for permanently expanding the Child Tax Credit and capping the amount of money that families pay for childcare at 7% of their income.
We must push back against the President’s reckless tariffs that have created chaos & uncertainty in our economy. I support legislation to block Trump from bypassing Congress & pressed the Speaker to take up the Senate-passed bipartisan resolutions. I helped introduce the Vote by Mail Protection Act to invalidate Trump’s unlawful executive order to restrict mail-in voting and the Drug Deal Disclosure Act to require the admin to disclose its drug pricing agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers; I demanded answers about DOGE’s access to our personal information. I supported the War Powers Act to reign in Trump’s military operations in Iran and will continue to work to prevent him from entangling America in another endless war.
