I believe Washington should make it easier for families to get ahead, not harder. That means responsible spending, affordable energy, sensible regulation, and policies that encourage growth instead of driving up costs.

National security, foreign policy, and veterans

Candidate position

The United States has always been a force for good in the world. However, we should certainly think first of our families and communities here at home. That’s why keeping our vital alliances like NATO is so important. Asking our partners to fairly share the burden of defense is common sense, as it also shows mutual respect.

Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability

Candidate position

At the same time, we must hold accountable the employers who exploit vulnerable people for cheap labor and traffickers that violate the dignity of innocent people. No one should profit from desperation. True compassion isn't open doors without rules, it's building a system rooted in order so opportunity can be shared responsibly. When order leads, real kindness follows.

At the same time, we can strengthen them with care: rooting out fraud that drains resources meant for the needy, expanding price transparency so families can make informed choices, encouraging competition to lower costs, and supporting rural providers who serve communities far from big cities. By resisting a full federal takeover, we keep decisions closer to the people who know their needs best.

America should be the place where hard-working people can dream, build, and provide for their families without being held back by unnecessary burdens. That’s why thoughtfully scaling back regulation through honest cost-benefit reviews, sunsetting outdated rules, and protecting small businesses from one-size-fits-all mandates is the caring path forward.

Speeding up permitting and returning more authority to Colorado where it belongs allows decisions to be made closer to the people who understand their own needs best. We can still protect against real harms, but we don’t have to regulate opportunity itself. Small family businesses, local innovators, and everyday workers deserve room to breathe and grow instead of drowning in paperwork from distant offices.
