priorities

BUDGET & SPENDING

If we are ever going to break Washington’s spending addiction, we must stop governing by crisis, and start governing by principle

DEFENSE

Strengthening U.S. national security and protecting our men and women in uniform is my number one priority in Congress

ECONOMY & JOBS

Lighting up our economy and empowering job creators are how we create a bright future for our children and grandchildren

Family, Faith, & Freedom

For many Americans, our faith isn’t just something we practice, it’s part of who we are and part of our heritage as a nation

Government Reform

Limited government is effective government. That means we need Washington to get out of the way, and return power to We the People

Immigration

America is a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Secure the border. No amnesty. Enforce our current laws

Seniors

Our government must keep its promises to our seniors. That means protecting their peace-of-mind by preserving Social Security and Medicare

Veterans

Fighting to provide veterans with the care and support they have earned is not just a duty, it’s an honor

ALL ISSUES

Services

I want to serve my constituents in any way that I can, and I hope that this section will put helpful resources at the fingertips of parents, small business owners, organizations seeking grants, military members, and many others.
