Enrich our community by restoring police funding for safer streets, reducing small business regulations, driving local community improvements, and promoting independent healthcare decision making without government intervention and mandates.
Build a stronger nation by implementing business-friendly tax and fiscal policies, advocating for a strong military, enforcing border regulations, promoting energy independence, and fighting for personal freedoms and Constitutional rights.
