I am 100% Pro-Life. I will always staunchly defend the right to life and protect the rights of the unborn. Every life is a sacred blessing from God and must be protected.

The Constitutional right to keep and bear arms is one of the most important freedoms that we hold. Law-abiding citizens of this great nation should always enjoy this right and have the ability to protect themselves.
I will always fight tirelessly to ensure that no one infringes upon our Second Amendment rights.

Federal overreach has desecrated our educational institutions and eroded every parent’s right to be involved in their children’s education. This is abhorrent and wrong. I will always do everything in my power to ensure the primary education of our children is handled by the states and localities in which they reside, and I will always protect our children against the federal government’s injection of their liberal agenda into our classroom.

Ensuring a strong national defense is core to America’s national security and it is one of the most important duties of our Congress.
Through my seat on the House Armed Services Committee, I am honored to play an active role in helping to bolster our national defense and provide a powerful deterrence to the pacing threat from China.
I will always work to protect and maintain our nation’s military dominance, and to support the men and women in uniform who work tirelessly to serve our great nation.

Our Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators serving short terms but, unfortunately, Washington has become a city of entrenched career politicians who prey upon, and perpetuate, the brokenness of our current system and only serve to please special interest groups.
We must reimpose accountability in our government by implementing term limits and eliminating career politicians. As such, I cosponsored term limit legislation my first week in Congress and pledge to always support term limits.

Washington’s reckless spending has led to a growing and almost insurmountable national debt. We must do everything in our power to end government waste, eliminate fraud, and reign in this out-of-control spending to reduce the American deficit and get our economy back on the right track.

I am always proud to stand with and support our law enforcement heroes. As such, I will always oppose the radical left’s efforts to Defund the Police and will advocate for increased funding to support the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities.

Missouri is home to more than 95,000 farms, which make agriculture the largest sector of Missouri’s economy. The hardworking men and women in this industry are of the utmost importance as they help to feed, fuel, and clothe our entire nation.
Despite this work, the radical left seems hellbent on demonizing these great Americans and on overregulating them to the point of extinction.
Through my work on the House Agriculture Committee, I will always work tirelessly to protect our farmers and ranchers from the left’s radical death tax and EPA overregulation through WOTUS and farm dust, streams, and ponds.

Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats have completely dismantled our economy through reckless spending, onerous overregulation, and ridiculous federal mandates which have crippled our businesses and caused Americans to suffer through record-high inflation.
We must do everything in our power to right the wrongs of this feckless administration by reigning in federal spending, eliminating unnecessary regulations, lowering taxes, and implementing pro-growth policies to reignite our economy and allow Americans to thrive and prosper.

The radical left’s embrace of illegal immigration and their support for open borders has led to a massive influx of drugs and illegal activity flowing through our Southern Border.
Instead of demonizing the men and women who work hard to protect us from this invasion, we must secure our border by building the border wall, increasing border security officers, and better enforcing our existing immigration laws.
As your congressman, I will always advocate for border security and will fight hard to secure our borders!
