Houston has led the charge at the state level to revamp immigration laws to crack down on those who are here illegally. His legislation ensured total cooperation with ICE so immigration authorities know when law enforcement comes into contact with an illegal alien. President Trump has totally shut down the southern border – border crossings are at a historic low. Deportations must continue, and the border must stay secure.

Democrat cities across the nation are being overrun by homelessness, gangs, and violent crime. We need to invest in public safety, help law enforcement and crack down on crime. Houston led the charge to stop the “defund the police” movement in Georgia, passed legislation to add hundreds of millions of dollars in law enforcement support, and he took on rogue district attorneys who were endangering public safety.

Our country’s debt is out of control. DOGE continues to root out wasteful spending and corruption in our federal government. We must keep doing so and restore fiscal sanity before it’s too late. In Georgia, Houston has supported a balanced budget every year – while cutting taxes at a record level. Congress needs to do the same. Cut spending and cut taxes.

The economy is roaring back after the disastrous Biden economy and record high inflation. President Trump’s economic policies are working. As someone who helps grow a small business daily, Houston knows how important it is we keep our economy strong and support our business community. We must promote American made and American built by growing American jobs and not outsourcing our manufacturing.

We must continue to rebuild our military and refocus on what matters – not DEI in the ranks of the military. The way to peace is through strength. A perfect example is how President Trump dealt with Iran: we eliminated the nuclear threat, kept our troops out of harms way, and stood with our ally, Israel. Houston supports our troops 100% and will always stand by those who put their lives on the line to protect our country.

The Chinese Communist Party is trying to take over our farmland – we can’t let them. Agriculture drives Georgia’s economy and the 10th district’s economy. Our farmers are vital as we work to Make America Healthy Again. Houston is a strong supporter of our farmers and producers and will support them in Congress – just as he’s done in the State House.

It’s hard to believe how far left the Democrats have gone in recent years, even supporting letting men compete in women’s sports. Houston voted to stop it in Georgia – just as he voted to stop taxpayer funds from paying for sex change surgeries. He voted for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and he’s pro-life. He voted for the Heartbeat Bill, and he’ll join President Trump and Congress to defund planned parenthood.

Houston believes the Second Amendment means exactly what it says: “shall not be infringed.” Law-abiding Georgians have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and Houston will always stand up to protect it. In the legislature, he has supported Constitutional Carry and fought to stop government overreach that threatens the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution.

People shouldn’t go to Congress to get rich, but it seems far too often, that’s what happens. Nancy Pelosi has become a hundred millionaire in Congress and lived off the government dime for decades. We need to put an end to insider trading in Congress immediately and restore ethics in D.C.
