Care that isn’t tied to your job, and isn’t out of reach.

Access to affordable healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Healthcare should not be tied to employment. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted this urgent need, as millions of Americans lost both their jobs and their health coverage through no fault of their own. This must never happen again.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Decouple Healthcare from Employment
- Ensure that losing a job does not mean losing access to healthcare.
- Build a system where coverage is guaranteed for all citizens, regardless of work status.
- Guarantee Affordable Coverage for All
- Develop a nationwide system that provides affordable healthcare to every U.S. citizen.
- Explore multiple models, including:
- A Medicare for All approach.
- A regulated, insurance-based program with capped premiums and transparent pricing.
- A hybrid model that achieves affordability, accessibility, and quality care.
- Work Across the Aisle
- Commit to bipartisan collaboration to identify the most effective plan that protects patients and ensures long-term sustainability.
- Focus on solutions that prioritize people over profit.
Conclusion:
The United States is the most advanced nation in the world, and our citizens deserve the highest standard of healthcare. By creating a system that is affordable, reliable, and not tied to employment, we can ensure that every American has access to the care they need.

I was recently asked what I thought a living wage really was. I was happy to respond to that question. As a Union man I understand the fight for a living wage and what a living wage actually is. By definition a living wage is “a wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living.” I believe the group of people in attendance was shocked to hear the numbers I gave them. I quoted them the numbers for my home county of Washington county. These numbers are for one adult $15.49, add one child $32.96, add two children $41.95, add three children $54.68. The numbers for two adults (one working) is $25.60. one child $32.14, two children $37.08, three children $40.87. Two adults (both working) $12.80, one child $18.44, two children $23.27, three children $27.53. The numbers that are shown are numbers that most people in CD2 don’t make, especially when you go adding children. If not for Unions there would be far more people behind. The biggest issue we have is the level of corporate greed in this country. The cost of everything has continued to climb year after year. Corporations have continued to make record profits year after year, but yet they don’t pass those profits along to the people that made them for them. What they do is continue to raise the cost of their products and fight to keep their workers wages low. I feel we need to address the corporations and demand they stop the price gouging. We must continue to demand the minimum wage be raised. This wage has not been raised since 2009! That is fourteen years without an increase to minimum wage. Why has this been allowed to happen? Because we continue to elect people to office that doesn’t care about the working class people in CD2. If we are ever going to stop the destruction of the middle class, restore our livelihood, and raise our wages to a respectable wage. We must start electing leaders that will fight for the working class and their families. As a Union man, I’m one to lead this fight. I will work to move the minimum wage to $16.00 immediately and then add legislation to continue to increase it yearly. Join me in the fight to return respect and dignity back to the people of Oklahoma!

We must take a more serious look into this issue that effects so many Oklahomans in our state. Mental health issues come in many forms and effect a large part of our communities. We have to do more to address these issues. We need to provide more funds to ensure that the treatments and medications are provided and readily available to all that need them. I would like to be on a committee for Mental Healthcare. I would like to see programs installed all over this country that provides mental healthcare in many forms. With providing treatment programs, medications, and programs that provide the support that people in need are able to continue with their medications or treatment programs regardless of their financial status. We need to provide programs that can provide a community, housing, and job programs that can provide the stability that is needed for the people that need help can concentrate on that. We all have someone that struggles with a form of mental health and this is an issues that we all should be able to get behind and support. It will better our communities, neighbors, and families.

The Great American Dream, America has been selling this concept for years! The dream of coming to a country where your dreams can come true! A land of endless hopes and freedoms. A place where anyone can live the good life, if they work hard and put in the effort. This is one of many reasons immigrants continue to come in numbers to the United States. The process to become an American citizen isn’t the easiest, in fact it is one of the toughest in the world. The system we currently have isn’t working, it’s busted. The system hasn’t been changed since 1986, when Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act. There has been subsequent laws in 1996, 2002, & 2006 in responses to concerns about terrorism and unauthorized immigration. In 2012, DACA was put into place. Real changes to address the changes we have seen in the world, hasn’t happened. We must sit down and address what isn’t working and make changes for the better. The blame game is doing nothing to address the issues. Stating our borders are broken or open and blaming the other party, isn’t fixing anything. The only thing this approach does is divide the Nation. We need solutions, ways to make the system better, and open minds willing to tackle the problems before us. This will take Leader, that are not afraid to do their job. I would love to have a seat at the table and lead these conversations that will lead to a better immigration system. The answers will require more funding, more personnel, and revamping of the laws to become a citizen. Personnel that will be required is in multiple areas, judges, border patrol officers, social workers, immigrant attorneys, and personnel to run background checks. I also believe we will need to set up immigration centers in every state. On the law side of the system, we need to seriously look at the time tables on becoming a citizen at every level. I’m willing to discuss this issue with anyone that wants to make a difference.

The United States immigration system is in need of significant reform. For too long, the issue has been used as a political talking point rather than addressed with practical solutions. The current system is inefficient, costly, and overly dependent on profit-driven structures. My proposal focuses on creating a fair, efficient, and transparent process.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Border Security and Oversight
- Increase the number of trained border agents.
- Invest in modern surveillance and monitoring technology rather than physical barriers.
- Judicial and Administrative Capacity
- Appoint additional immigration judges to reduce case backlogs.
- Expand staffing for background checks and case management to speed up processing.
- Employment Integration While Awaiting Cases
- Use unemployment data to identify regions where immigrant labor can meet workforce needs.
- Provide lawful employment opportunities while individuals await their court dates.
- Pathway to Citizenship
- Streamline the naturalization process so that applicants are not forced to wait multiple years.
- Ensure that efficiency is prioritized over bureaucratic or profit-driven delays.
- Due Process and Enforcement Transparency
- End the practice of unmarked and masked enforcement raids.
- Require clear communication with families and legal representation for those detained.
- Guarantee due process for all individuals, consistent with U.S. law.
Conclusion:
This proposal would create a more efficient, secure, and humane immigration system. By expanding personnel, modernizing technology, ensuring due process, and providing lawful employment opportunities, we can reduce systemic backlogs and restore fairness to the immigration process.

Women’s rights must be protected and restored. I believe Roe v. Wade should be codified into federal law to guarantee the right to privacy in healthcare decisions. Women must have the ability to make their own medical choices without interference from lawmakers. No one should face prosecution for seeking or receiving healthcare that may save their life or affect their ability to have children in the future. Extreme restrictions in many states have already put women’s lives and long-term health at risk. Equal rights must apply to all citizens.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Codify Roe v. Wade
- Establish federal protections to ensure women’s reproductive rights are not determined by state-level politics.
- Protect the Right to Medical Privacy
- Guarantee that healthcare decisions remain between patients and medical professionals.
- Prevent criminalization of women and healthcare providers for necessary medical care.
- Ensure Access to Life-Saving Care
- Prohibit state laws that prevent doctors from providing emergency or essential medical treatment.
- Hold states accountable when restrictions amount to practicing medicine without proper authority.
- Balance Federal and State Authority
- Recognize that while states often manage local issues, certain rights—such as access to healthcare—require federal protection.
- Reinforce the principle that medical expertise should guide healthcare decisions, not political agendas.
Conclusion:
The overturning of Roe v. Wade placed critical medical decisions into the hands of lawmakers instead of doctors, creating dangerous consequences for women across the country. This must be reversed. Women deserve autonomy, privacy, and equal protection under the law. Federal action is necessary to ensure that reproductive rights are preserved nationwide.

A strong system of public education is essential to the future of our children and our communities. Public schools must be properly funded and protected, especially in small rural towns where schools often serve as the heart of the community. Without adequate support, both the schools and the towns they sustain are at risk.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Protect and Strengthen Public Schools
- Ensure federal and state funds are directed to public schools, not diverted to private institutions.
- Provide consistent funding to keep schools in rural areas open and thriving.
- Accountability for State Leadership
- Elect and hold accountable state officials who will use education funding responsibly.
- Oppose efforts to dismantle or defund the U.S. Department of Education, which plays a critical role in ensuring fair standards nationwide.
- Improve Educational Outcomes
- Recognize that Oklahoma currently ranks last in education and that turning full control over to state management has not served students well.
- Establish and enforce minimum federal requirements for curriculum to guarantee that all students, regardless of where they live, have access to a fair and competitive education.
Conclusion:
Public education is not only an investment in our children—it is an investment in our future. By protecting funding, ensuring accountability, and setting clear national standards, we can strengthen our schools, support our teachers, and provide every student with the opportunity to succeed.

Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits that working Americans have paid into their entire lives. These programs must be protected, strengthened, and expanded—not cut. My opponent supports reducing Social Security and Medicare. I will fight to improve and grow them.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Eliminate the Tax Cap
- Currently, Social Security contributions (6.2% from employees and 6.2% from employers) are capped at $176,100 of income.
- This means higher-income earners stop contributing once they reach that threshold, despite continuing to benefit from the system.
- By eliminating the cap, we can ensure that all earners contribute fairly and that the Social Security trust fund is strengthened for future generations.
- Increase Program Solvency and Benefits
- Removing the cap would generate significant additional revenue for the program.
- With stronger funding, we can explore:
- Lowering the full retirement age to make benefits available sooner.
- Increasing monthly benefits for all recipients, ensuring retirees can live with dignity.
- Protect Medicare
- Oppose any effort to cut Medicare benefits or reduce access to affordable healthcare for seniors.
- Ensure the program remains strong and accessible for current and future beneficiaries.
Conclusion:
Social Security and Medicare are promises made to America’s working people. Cutting them would betray that promise. By requiring all earners to contribute their fair share, we can secure the future of these programs, protect retirees, and expand benefits for those who have spent their lives contributing to our economy.

A strong economy must be built from the working class up—not the other way around. History shows that when working families thrive, the economy thrives. As a union member, I know firsthand the importance of fair wages, secure jobs, and policies that strengthen the middle class.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Tax Fairness
- Reform the tax system so the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.
- Adjust the corporate tax rate to between 21% and 28%, a level that ensures contributions without harming business growth.
- Support American Workers
- Reward companies that keep the majority of their workforce in the United States.
- Impose higher corporate taxes on companies that outsource jobs overseas.
- Replace Harmful Tariffs with Smarter Policy
- Current tariff policies are increasing costs for everyday Americans.
- Instead, hold corporations accountable for moving jobs abroad while supporting those that invest in American workers and communities.
Conclusion:
The backbone of our economy is the working class. By reforming taxes, strengthening labor protections, and incentivizing companies to invest in America, we can grow an economy that works for everyone—not just the wealthy few.

Equality under the law is the foundation of our democracy. To achieve true equality, every citizen must be afforded the same protections and opportunities. Attacks on the rights of any group are attacks on the rights of us all, and history has shown that when one group’s rights are eroded, others soon follow.
Key Priorities: ↗ (opens brandon4congress.com/policies at this heading)
- Defend LGBTQ+ Rights
- Protect the right to healthcare, education, and military service without discrimination.
- Uphold the right to marry the person one loves.
- Counter misinformation and hate with policies rooted in fairness, dignity, and constitutional protections.
- Protect Immigrants and Asylum Seekers
- Ensure that due process is upheld for all individuals, consistent with constitutional guarantees.
- Modernize the immigration system to reflect today’s realities while preserving fairness and humanity.
- Stand Against Discrimination
- Defend against attacks based on race, sex, religion, or nationality.
- Acknowledge and teach the history of past injustices so the nation does not repeat them.
- Build on the progress achieved through decades of civil rights struggles by safeguarding those hard-won protections.
Conclusion:
The rights guaranteed in the Constitution are not negotiable, and they must apply equally to all citizens. As a leader, I pledge to stand with communities under attack, defend equality, and ensure that no group has its rights stripped away. Protecting equality for one means protecting equality for all.
