I am a pro-life conservative. I believe the unborn deserve to be protected by the law. We must focus more on solutions for women who find themselves with unwanted pregnancies by prioritizing adoption access, child care access, and the codification of laws that make men equally responsible in such cases. We also need to place an emphasis on the value of family. Too many young people are being told that children are an inconvenience or an unnecessary burden instead of the blessings they truly are.

Bidenomics is crushing hardworking Ohio families. Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend agenda is causing even more inflation, skyrocketing costs, and our national debt to spiral out of control.
If we don’t rein in spending fast, soon our country will be owned and operated by China, which seems to be fine with the Left. As your next representative, I will author legislation that requires Congress to balance the budget before they get paid, and forces them to only spend within our means to help us regain control of our future. Part of restoring our economy is easing the burden of inflation on working families by cutting their tax burden and bringing American jobs back to America. Unshackling America’s energy sector will go a long way toward accomplishing both. We need to end the stigma on fossil fuels, and lean into nuclear energy.

Thanks to Joe Biden and his reckless open-border policies, the southern border has devolved into a war zone. Criminals and cartels operate freely on both sides of the border, making our citizens unsafe. The horrors of human trafficking and drug trafficking are rampant, and virtually unchecked.
In Washington, I’ll fight to secure the border by finishing President Trump’s wall, increasing funding and resources for Border Patrol officers, and deploying military personnel when necessary. Then prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, criminals and cartels wreaking havoc on our country.

The liberal gun-grabbers in D.C. are attempting to strip honest, hardworking citizens of our constitutional right to bear arms.
The Second Amendment is clear and unequivocal. Without this right, we cede our ability to protect ourselves to the government and give up our right to fight back against tyranny. I will always vote to protect it.
The 2nd Amendment is clear and unequivocal. Without this right, we cede our ability to protect ourselves to the government and give up our right to fight back against tyranny. I will always vote to protect it.

We must end the woke indoctrination of our kids. The massive uptick in mental health issues that our children are suffering from can be traced in large part to what is happening in our schools. The current curriculum in public schools pits students against each other on the basis of race, misrepresenting our past, and teaching kids to hate our great country.
It singles out groups based on inherited traits, and terrifies young children with apocalyptic tales of humanity’s imminent demise due to climate change. I’ll end the madness by defunding and dismantling the failed experiment called the Department of Education, restoring parental rights, and expanding school choice. It’s time we put parents first instead of the intentionally destructive agenda being pushed by radical liberal D.C. bureaucrats and teachers’ unions.

Government has no business imposing arbitrary and burdensome regulations on the financial freedom of the American people. Existing law already protects consumers and punishes fraudsters, we do not need a separate set of rules for cryptocurrency.
In Congress, I will oppose unnecessary regulations on cryptocurrency and support a clear regulatory framework for the industry that gets government out of the way, maximizes freedom and promotes innovation.
