Border Security is National Security. Our border was a complete disaster due to the Biden administration’s intentional policies. Since taking office, I’ve made border security a top priority, supporting President Trump’s efforts to strengthen our national security. I will continue to allocate resources to target and end illegal border crossings and crimes at the border. I will continue to work with President Trump, and I will always vote to defend our border and protect private property.

America cannot exist without free and fair elections. What we witnessed in the 2020 and 2022 elections should never happen again, and there must be accountability. I am still fighting for those who were disenfranchised in court and will never waver in fighting for the integrity of our elections. In Congress, I’ll continue to work to ensure our voting rolls are clean and ranked choice voting is banned at the federal level. Both parties have expressed concerns about election security since the turn of the decade – it is not a political issue but a matter of ensuring our most fundamental rights have not been subverted.

Our federal government has been living beyond its means for far too long, and hard-working families are paying the price. The cost of everything has skyrocketed, from the gas pumps to the grocery store. We must return to normalcy by actually getting back to passing a budget. It’s time to have the courage to live within our means and stop bankrupting future generations.

Harmful drugs like Fentanyl are pouring across our borders and into our neighborhoods, poisoning our kids. It is unacceptable. This begins with reclassifying the criminal code so that Fentanyl is a “dangerous” drug or a “poison” whose drug classifications allow for harsher punishment and enhanced sentencing. Criminals must fear consequences for their actions, and I will uphold the rule of law and keep our communities SAFE.

Crime is out of control, and our cities are falling to ruin. Liberal policies have allowed criminals to act without consequence and degrade civilized society. America is a nation of laws, and we need to enforce those laws. In Congress, I will continue to support funding, backing, and revitalizing police forces across the country. We must enforce existing laws that would punish the criminals causing havoc in our streets.

The world is safest when America is strong. The Biden Administration did severe damage to our reputation on the national stage, and the world is far more unstable because of it. I will continue to promote peace through strength. I support President Trump’s sanctions to show our allies we’re still the predominant world power. We must also focus on producing American energy to economically strengthen our country from within, decrease our dependence on unstable foreign regimes, and rebuild the Strategic Petroleum Reserves Joe Biden depleted for political gain.

I will keep fighting for the benefits our brave men and women deserve. As a Congressman and Veteran, I will continue to be a voice for our active duty personnel and veterans and seek resources to address the mental health epidemic that is plaguing our veteran community. No veteran should feel hopeless and neglected in America. In addition, I will continue to fight for additional funding for our VA hospitals so every veteran gets the proper health care needed.

Promises made are promises kept. At a time when Americans are hurting and seeing the value of their dollar devalued, we must do everything we can to preserve Social Security for our seniors. I will never support policies that would jeopardize the safety of the program that so many seniors have paid into and the benefits they have earned.

America is built on fundamental rights that we, as citizens, can never lose. Our First Amendment gives us the right to say what we want; The Second Amendment protects the First. I will unequivocally support your right to bear arms and protect the Second Amendment.

I believe that the most important thing in the world is family, and my six young nieces and nephews have taught me that life is a precious gift. I am a pro-life advocate who understands this fight goes well beyond the issue of abortion. I will always fight for the rights of the unborn, especially against any effort that allows abortion with little to no restrictions. In addition, I believe there needs to be a broader focus on making sure all young mothers have the resources and support to raise children, adoption is expanded so that children have the opportunities to grow up with families that love them, and pregnancy centers are available to those in need.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 39 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

| Written instead of an employer · 1,829 contributions · 32% of ranked | $97,797 |

A further $22,055 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($282,387) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $1,500 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

All 1,020 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
19 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $26,297 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
