For too long, Washington politicians have drowned businesses in overly burdensome regulations. As a small business owner, I understand what it means to sign both sides of a paycheck. Just like I’ve done in the Alabama Legislature, I will slash job-strangling red tape as your Congressman so Alabama Main Streets and the hardworking families that fuel them can thrive.

As a Christian, I believe we are called to strongly support Israel. And as an American, I know it’s in our strategic interests to do so against the radical terrorist forces that want to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the planet. I will support President Trump’s efforts to bring sustainable peace to the Middle East and end the endless wars that have cost countless American lives and resources.

America’s military must remain second to none. Communist China is our most dangerous enemy, and threats from Iran, North Korea, Russia, transnational cartels, and radical Islamic terrorists cannot be ignored. Alabama’s First Congressional District holds the key to peace through strength, from building the ships that protect our seas to maintaining America’s air dominance. I will fight tooth and nail with President Trump to make sure our troops have the resources and technology they need to keep America safe and free—and that Alabama’s defense industry continues to support thousands of good-paying jobs across our state.

I have a message for Washington Democrats who want to tell Alabamians how to defend our families or our liberties: Don’t Tread on Me. The right to protect ourselves and our loved ones is God-given and guaranteed by the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers knew it would be the last line of defense against government tyranny, and I won’t let the Left take it away.
