After years of reckless spending and excessive red tape from the Biden-Harris administration, we need economic policies that will spur job growth and put our economy back on track. Americans want the government out of the way, higher take home pay, and lower taxes. I will support reducing taxes on hard working Americans and rolling back regulations that stifle small business growth. As your Congresswoman, I will support free and fair international trade policies that are crucial for all sectors of our economy. This will create jobs, end economic uncertainty, and keep America competitive.

We must secure our borders, period, full stop. The Biden Border crisis allowed violent criminals, human traffickers, and even terrorists to slip through and come into our country. We need to build a wall and enforce our immigration laws to the fullest extent. I will continue fighting to ensure our law enforcement agencies have the resources to keep our communities safe, and I am committed to working with President Trump to restore safety and security to our nation.
I am committed to working with President Trump and my colleagues to bring safety and security to our southern border.

Agriculture is one of the largest industries in Michigan’s Thumb. In Congress, I work to protect our farmers from harmful regulations that impact their land use and water rights as well as their bottom line. Farmers are the best stewards of their land and should be the ones to determine how they farm it — not bureaucrats in Washington.
To strengthen our agricultural industry, I will continue pushing for trade agreements that benefit our farmers. This will increase exports, promote competition, and lower food prices. The truth is, food security is national security. Our nation’s food supply is vital and your farms shouldn’t be on an auction block for foreign governments. I am committed to defending your family-owned farms and land from foreign nations looking only to gain shady influence.

I am a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment. I strongly support an individual's right to own guns, which is clearly protected by the Constitution. I believe the 2nd Amendment enables law-abiding citizens throughout the country to own firearms to protect themselves and their families. I oppose federal licensing of law-abiding gun owners and national gun registration. Since I began serving as your Representative in Congress, I have completely opposed any action that puts any level of restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms.
I will always be a champion for freedom and a fierce defender of our Constitutional rights. While defending our 2nd Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens, I will work to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them.

There is a mental health crisis in our country.
As of 2024, nearly a quarter of all adults in the United States have experienced mental illness in the past year alone. This troubling statistic is becoming even more prevalent in our children, and much more needs to be done about it.
In Congress, I have been honored to serve as Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Task Force where I have the opportunity to work across the aisle with my colleagues to find solutions.
As your Representative, I will continue to bring attention and support causes that increase awareness and deliver resources to those who need it most.

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in its current form is not affordable for the vast majority of American consumers. Millions of people have decided they no longer can afford health insurance under this disastrous law. It drives up premiums and deductible costs for individuals, families, and employers. It also fuels waste, fraud, and abuse. To fix it, we need to reintroduce more competition to the market and ensure patient-centered solutions that will drive down costs.
Allowing health care coverage to be purchased across state lines by individuals and small businesses will create stronger competition among insurance companies, lowering costs for the consumer. Another component would be to expand the use of health savings accounts. I believe a combination of free-market solutions will make health care more affordable and accessible for Michiganders.

The First Amendment clearly states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion; or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” However, religious liberties in America are constantly under attack.
In Congress, I am a tireless advocate for defending our religious liberties so America will remain a free country for people to pray and practice their faith without government interference.

As a Member of Congress, I have always supported legislation to protect our brave first responders both during, and after, their careers. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our peace officers have the resources and support they need to protect our communities.

I am 100% pro-life. I believe in the sanctity of human life and that life begins at conception. We must honor the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence — which is a right to life. An unborn child has a fundamental right to life, which cannot be infringed.
Not a single tax dollar should pay for an abortion, which is why I'm a strong supporter of the Hyde Amendment. The most essential duty of government is to defend the life of the innocent.

The Great Lakes are a precious natural resource and economic engine that must be protected. I oppose any large or small-scale diversion of water outside the Great Lakes basin. Whether it is stopping Asian Carp, other invasive species, or high-water levels, I will continue to work on finding solutions that protect, preserve, and strengthen the Great Lakes for future generations to enjoy.
