Agriculture

As the home of the majority of Kentucky's family farming operations, the First District provides numerous incentives for farmers to expand and diversify their businesses.

Defense

Representing the men and women of Fort Campbell, home to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), I have always been a vocal proponent of maintaining a strong national defense.

Education

I believe that local school officials, not federal employees at the Department of Education, should make decisions about the educational needs of our Kentucky schools.

Energy

I believe that America must develop an 'All of the Above' energy strategy that responsibly develops and uses the sources of energy available in America, including abundant Kentucky coal.

Fiscal Reform & the Economy

I am working to reform Washington's runaway spending threatens America's competitive and economic success.

Healthcare

I am committed to improving the nation's healthcare system and providing affordable healthcare to all Americans. But that will not come from 'one size fits all' mandates from Washington.

Homeland Security

Despite making tremendous progress in our battle against terrorism and extremism, we must still remain vigilant against those who wish to infiltrate our borders and do us harm.

Labor

I know that the United States possesses the best, brightest and most innovative workforce in the world.

Second Ammendment

I strongly supports Americans' Constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms and I have consistently opposed efforts to restrict rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment.

Tax Relief

As our economy works toward recovery, I am committed to reducing the heavy burden of taxation on our nation's families and small businesses.

Transportation

Few issues are as vital to our Nation as the free flow of goods and services. For that reason, I have always been at the forefront of ensuring that the U.S. has one of the world's safest, most efficient, and most modern transportation systems.

Veterans Affairs

Throughout our nation's history, America's veterans have answered the call of duty and have been committed to seeing their missions through to the very end. I am committed to ensuring that we provide for our veterans as they were promised.
