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.
Reduce federal spending, taxes, and regulations while expanding domestic energy and requiring measurable results for federal programs.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
New Jersey families work hard for every dollar they earn. Washington should be held to the same standard. Gregg Mele will oppose bloated spending bills, eliminate wasteful federal programs, and demand measurable results for every taxpayer dollar. Before Congress approves another program, it should answer three basic questions: What will it cost? How will it be paid for? Will it actually work?
Gregg supports lower taxes for working families, fewer burdensome regulations on small businesses, and expanded American energy production to help reduce the cost of electricity, transportation, and everyday goods. He’ll also fight to ensure New Jersey receives its fair share of federal resources. Taxpayers are not Washington’s unlimited line of credit, and Gregg will never treat them that way.
Secure the border, enforce immigration laws, and support police and first responders.
