A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.
Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.
Nothing says, “I’m not winning people over” like trying to rig the elections to favor you and your team. Nobody should be doing this, and we need to ban the practice altogether by having non-partisan committees draw up state maps based on the 10 year census. I will push for legislation that will do just that.

Separation of powers is something I find to be important, so being a one issue only candidate will not suffice. Take the Missouri Firearms Coalition for example. They mean well regarding the 2nd Amendment, which I absolutely support.

To be clear, I oppose any tariffs against any other country for imports. It was a horrible idea when Donald Trump did it, and it’s a horrible idea now. When it comes to trade wars, everybody loses.

My general rule of thumb is if local, state, and/or federal government is making matters worse, then we need to change course. I oppose the war on drugs not because addictive pills, powders, and liquids are harmless.

In recent years, experts have been arguing in favor of medical treatment instead of punishment. I would go further in supporting legislation that would fully legalize marijuana. Legalization and treating addiction as a medical crisis instead of a criminal crisis is the best way to cut off the cartels.

Such a thing will take courage, patience, and maturity. Various politicians in recent years have not demonstrated any of those characteristics.

I am against the banning of books as it constitutes censorship, so that means I also oppose giving parents and legal guardians a blank check.

Having the right to defend yourself when an unprovoked attack occurs is paramount. I also am a big supporter of property rights, which Matt Gaetz’s bill makes no mention of.

In other words, I would support legislation similar to the SEC Stabilization Act of 2023 so that no political party has majority power in that agency.

I would vote yes for a law similar to HR 6248 so long as it also keeps in mind property rights of various privately owned venues. Again, we live in the real world and different property owners are going to have a different set of preferences as well as rules and preferred behavior.

That is also why I am for the development and nurturing of cryptocurrency by private individuals and groups. What the head of the SEC is doing to companies who dare dabble in digital currencies that are decentralized is abhorrent.

On a personal level, I prefer to leave medical decisions up to the patients and their doctors. I know what it is like for me to nearly lose my life due to bureaucratic hurdles put forth by egotistical bureaucrats in government entities such as the military. I almost died because of them, and for that reason I have a more nuanced view on abortion.

We need to stop relying on politicians to address this issue and actually have mature, open-minded discussions about the root of the problem.

Advocates for Charter Schools may find themselves disheartened, as this represents yet another method of government subsidization. My main issue with them is that you still have to ask the government for permission. I am more in favor of granting more local control so that parents have more of a say in the education of their children
