What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Promoting a Smaller Federal Government Fighting Inflation Promoting Free Market Solutions What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Representing the interests of the constituents of the Congressional District they are elected to. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? The Unites States' standing in the Geo-political realm is under threat from adversarial countries like China and Russia. Our failing infrastructure needs to be restored to accommodate current and future commerce. What are your thoughts on term limits? Term limits are overdue in Congress. Without term-limits, our members of Congress become beholden to special interests and lobbyists rather than their constituents. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? Compromise should be made in the public eye rather than in back rooms. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? The Biden Administration has failed in so many regards to provide transparency and disclosure to the American people.
