We must also restore an economy where hard work leads somewhere. People should be able to start a business, buy a home, raise a family, learn a trade, advance in their career, and build a better life. That is the promise of America — and it should not be reserved only for the wealthy, connected, or politically powerful.

Affordability is now a crisis. Families are being squeezed by higher gas prices, energy costs, groceries, housing, insurance, and taxes. The Climate Commitment Act may sound good, but in practice it is driving up the cost of energy while doing little to directly improve the environment. Combined with one of the highest gas taxes in the country, these policies raise transportation, food, and energy costs — and those costs get passed on to families through nearly everything they buy. I believe in family, public safety, faith in God, and faith in each other. We need to love our neighbors again. We have had enough division, anger, and blame. Our problems are real, but we will not solve them by tearing each other apart.

Safe communities are the foundation of a healthy society. We can show compassion to people in crisis while still holding people accountable for crime, addiction-fueled disorder, and policies that make neighborhoods less safe. Families, seniors, workers, and small businesses all deserve to feel secure.

I will be a voice of common sense, moderation, and practical solutions in a highly charged political environment. I believe in safer communities, stronger families, lower costs, responsible government, and an economy where everyone has the opportunity to work, build, serve, and thrive.
