Priorities

As a division director at the Department of Homeland Security, I saw firsthand the devastating effect Joe Biden’s administration has wrecked on our southern border. Border crossings are at record highs, incentivized by our leaders in Washington. As a result, drug and human trafficking are on the rise leaving our national security at risk. Congress must use the power of the purse to force meaningful border security and end this crisis.

Our leaders in Washington, D.C. have lost the trust of the American people. Republicans and Democrats alike have sold out their values for the sake of power, influence, and their own reelections. I’ve pledged to join the House Freedom Caucus in Congress because I believe in standing up for the best interests of the American people, even when it means pushing back on members of our own party.

Joe Biden’s administration has crippled the economic outlook of families in Virginia’s 7th and across the country. Reckless spending drives rampant inflation, driving the cost of goods and services through the roof while decreasing the spending power of our dollars. In Congress, I will work to bring down inflation by engaging in fiscal conservatism, lift regulation, and empower our economy to thrive by restricting government intrusion of the administrative state. 

Every year, our elected officials band together to pass massive multi-issue spending packages that drive up our federal budgetary deficit, increase our national debt, and saddle our next generations with a burden they will be unable to bear. I do not support irresponsible continuing resolutions or an omnibus packages. I willadvocate for clean, single-issue bills that allow specific considerations of individual programs and a return to zero-base budgeting. This will also enable Americans to audit the functions of their government. 

The status of our military under the Biden administration is alarming, as demonstrated by the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and depletion of our munitions due to the war in Ukraine. Our armed forces have historically low recruitment levels, and our military needs to be rebuilt and strengthened immediately. We must always maintain our commitment to the men and women who have served our nation, providing them with the best care and benefits for the debt our nation owes them.

As a man of faith, I believe that our rights and liberties are given by God and simply protected by the Constitution. I will always vote to protect the individual rights described in our founding documents. For years, our Government has enacted unconstitutional mandates, penalized businesses and infringed on the liberties and livelihoods of everyday Americans. In Congress, I will defend your liberty, reduce government intrusion, and pledge to never take a vote that goes against the Constitution.

No Farms…No Food. Our farming and food production industries have undergone significant strain at the hands of Joe Biden’s administration. Over-regulation and a focus on ludicrous climate initiatives have ignored the true needs of our farmers. It is the obligation of a responsible public to ensure that farmers and growers are supported in preserving our food supply.

The regulatory state has run rampant in a way our Founding Fathers would never have imagined possible. I want to get the federal government out of our lives and empower the American people to achieve prosperity through their own liberty. From small business regulation to the Second Amendment, our country will prosper more with less government intrusion.

Political propaganda has replaced educational development in our classrooms. Many in our society suffer from a lack of critical thinking skills, and the development of those skills begins in the classroom. We need to remove politics and propaganda from our schools, reduce or eliminate federal involvement, return to teaching how to think instead of what to think, and ensure that our children receive the world-class education they deserve.

As a division director of EMS at Homeland Security, my job was to provide support to our first responders across the country. Unfortunately, many elected officials today have abandoned our First Responders and Law Enforcement Officers. They are the bed rock of providing safe communities for our families to live in. In Congress, I will always support our law enforcement and first responders with the respect and gratitude they deserve.
