In Congress, I will be relentless in my efforts to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.

I will restore liberty and protect your rights.

We need this within our borders, at our border and beyond our borders. Bad policies have created a humanitarian crisis for immigrants, a disaster for American workers and increased threats to our national security. There are risks to our health, the integrity of our elections, the safety of our neighborhoods and even terrorism. With widespread sex trafficking, drug smuggling, gang violence and opioid addiction, we need leaders with courage. I understand these issues, am supported by experts on them and in Congress I’ll work to secure the border, support law enforcement and protect American jobs and our way of life, from threats foreign and domestic.

Anti-American “agents of change” are intentionally dividing us, with grave consequences. Schools are abandoning academics to push political activism, gender narratives and junk science, increasing hatred, depression and confusion in our youth. Political agendas are affecting everything from how our military protects us, what laws are selectively enforced and what medicines we have access to. We’re failing a generation by offering no alternative to embracing destructive ideologies that promise big but bring only hardship and despair. We need leaders who demand better and will promote American values and exceptionalism.
