I do not support 'reforming' a broken system; I support enforcing the law and securing our nation. We must finish the border wall, permanently end 'catch-and-release,' and execute mass deportations of criminal aliens who have invaded our communities. President Trump is working to secure our border, but he needs strong allies in Congress to get it done. I will help finish the wall, stop illegal immigration, and keep drugs, human traffickers, and other criminals out of our country. As a 20-year Air Force veteran who spent decades defending our nation, I view our wide-open southern border as the single greatest national security threat of our lifetime.

The only true financial threat to our economy is the radical, job-killing 'Green New Deal' agenda being pushed by Washington extremists. Their climate alarmism is a thinly veiled excuse to destroy American energy independence, crush our agricultural sector, and drive up utility bills for working-class families. We need to unleash American oil, gas, and energy production, not surrender our economy to globalist climate mandates.

First: Total Border Security and Immigration Enforcement. We must aggressively defund sanctuary cities, finish the wall, and empower ICE and Border Patrol to remove criminal aliens. Second: Protecting Constitutional Rights and Affordability. I will fiercely defend our God-given liberties—especially the Second Amendment—while slashing the reckless federal spending that is causing historic inflation and hurting Florida families.

The Constitution protects our God-given freedoms, and I will defend every one of them. Freedom of speech is a God-given right, not a government-granted privilege. Today, that means protecting everyday Americans from the unholy alliance of government bureaucrats and Big Tech monopolies working to censor conservative voices. It means standing up against the weaponization of the DOJ and ensuring that pastors, parents, and patriots can speak the truth without fear of being targeted by their own government.

Both have a constitutional mandate to dismantle the rogue administrative state. Under Article II, the President has the absolute authority to direct the executive branch and fire unelected, insubordinate bureaucrats who actively subvert the America First agenda. Concurrently, Congress holds the power of the purse and has a duty to aggressively defund and investigate any federal agency—including the DOJ and FBI—that has been weaponized against the American people.

The federal government should have absolutely zero role in our children’s education. I will fight to keep radical agendas out of schools and protect parental rights. We must dismantle the federal Department of Education, block all federal funding tied to woke indoctrination or gender ideology, and return absolute control of education to parents, local school boards, and the states where it belongs.
