National security, foreign policy, and veterans
Candidate positionI believe in a foreign policy of peace, trade, and non-entanglement. No more undeclared wars. No more blank-check authorizations. No more sending Kansas families to fight and die for conflicts Congress never had the courage to debate. And no more writing checks to the world while Kansas families balance their own budgets without Washington's help. Bring the troops home. Stop nation-building. End unconditional foreign aid. Restore Article I.

Civil liberties, privacy, and equal treatment
Candidate positionThe Fourth Amendment was written to protect you from exactly this: warrantless, suspicionless government surveillance of your daily life. Mass surveillance doesn't make us safer — it makes us subjects. I will oppose federal funding and mandates that push surveillance infrastructure into local communities, and I will fight for meaningful legal guardrails on how government collects, retains, and shares your data.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability
Candidate positionI support auditing the Federal Reserve — full transparency, no exceptions — as a first step toward understanding the damage done. I also support the principle behind legislation like Rand Paul's "Penny Plan": cutting federal spending by a modest percentage across the board each year until the budget is balanced. Washington doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a discipline problem. Kansas families balance their budgets. The federal government should too.

Health care and public health
Candidate positionOn abortion, the Supreme Court got it right in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Roe v. Wade was not grounded in the Constitution — it invented a federal right where none existed and stripped states of authority they had always possessed. The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states all powers not delegated to the federal government, and the regulation of abortion is not among those delegated powers. I support Dobbs and I support the authority of Kansas and every other state to protect unborn life through their own legislatures, accountable to their own people.

Health care and public health
Candidate positionI will fight to return education, healthcare, land use, and law enforcement policy to the states and localities where they belong. The people of Wichita and Kansas are fully capable of governing themselves. They don't need Washington's permission, Washington's mandates, or Washington's money with strings attached. The closer government is to the people, the harder it is to ignore them.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability
Candidate positionI would oppose any federal legislation that attempts to reimpose a national abortion regime — including any effort to restore Roe by statute. And I would be an unwavering vote to ensure that no federal tax dollars are used to fund or promote abortion, preserving and strengthening the Hyde Amendment.

Public safety and criminal justice
Candidate positionI will advocate for the abolition of the federal death penalty. The principle does not change based on who occupies the White House or which party controls the Justice Department.

Candidate positionI believe every human life has inherent dignity that no crime can forfeit and no government can grant. I believe the closest government is the most accountable government. I believe the people of Wichita and Kansas are fully capable of governing themselves. And I believe Washington has been making decisions for us — about our money, our movements, our wars, and our lives — that it was never given the authority to make.

Judicial Reform& The Sanctity of Human Life
Candidate positionI am a devoted Catholic and I am unambiguously pro-life. I believe human life begins at conception and that every human person — from the moment of fertilization to natural death — carries inherent dignity that no government can grant and no government can take away.

Judicial Reform& The Sanctity of Human Life
Candidate positionI also believe that a consistent ethic of life requires intellectual honesty: if the sanctity of human life is the principle, it cannot be applied selectively. That is why I oppose the federal death penalty for the same reason I oppose abortion — not because I am soft on crime, but because I do not trust the government with the irreversible power to end a human life.

Judicial Reform& The Sanctity of Human Life
Candidate positionBeliefBut the argument doesn't rest on error alone. It rests on the same foundation as the pro-life position on abortion: human dignity is not earned by good behavior and it is not forfeited by bad behavior. It is not the government's to grant, and it is not the government's to take. A government that claims the power to extinguish a human life — even the life of the guilty — has claimed more authority than any free people should allow.
