AMERICA FIRST

In Congress, I will put AMERICA FIRST, ALWAYS

I believe that the sole existence of the federal government is to preserve the life, liberty, and property of its citizens and it is instituted to protect the rights of individuals according to natural law. Among these rights are the sanctity of life; the freedom of speech, religion, the press, and assembly; the right to bear arms; the right of individuals to be treated equally and justly under the law; and to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor.

- I will vote against red flag laws and frivolous attempts to over-regulate the firearms market.
- I will fight for constitutional carry, nationwide.
- I will fight against political imprisonment and ensure that all Americans have due process.
- I will fight against unconstitutional mandates.
- I will fight against the federal governments attempts to set arbitrary standards that restrict our rights to commerce.

I believe that the federal government’s powers are limited to those named in the Constitution and should be exercised solely to protect the rights of its citizens.

I believe Congress must fulfill its constitutional obligations and cease the practice of delegating legislative powers to administrative agencies — legislation should be passed by Congress, not by unelected administration officials.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “The government closest to the people serves the people best.” Powers not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution, are reserved to the states or to the people.

In order to restore its greatness, America needs a flourishing Ohio and that cannot happen without a safe, productive, and communal 9th district.

I believe that American Energy Independence in critical to both our economic security and national defense. As a nuclear industry executive, I believe that America must develop an energy policy that ensures energy is affordable for our families, clean for our environment, abundant for our future, and domestic for our security.

- I will work tirelessly to remove hyper-regulation and create an energy environment where America can regain its position as the premier nation for energy innovation.
- Sources of energy shouldn’t require subsidies to perform on the free market.
- The United States must lead the world in Advanced Reactor Technology.
- Spent Nuclear Fuel provides a wealth of economic and medical potential. This fuel must be recycled, not stored for generations.

I believe that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard of our freedoms, and the Constitution means exactly what it says, as written. I believe that America is a lawful country, and our men and women of law enforcement are heroes who deserve our absolute support.

- I will fight against the perpetuation of communist propaganda intended to divide the trust between the general public and our men and women of law enforcement.

STRONG UNITED STATES MILITARY

I believe that America must sustain a strong military and stop committing to the endless wars of recent decades. The best way to ensure peace is through a strong national defense and America must always have the most powerful military on the face of the Earth.

- I will support our troops at all times, without question.

We need a leader, not a politician. Someone who can unify our communities and champion an effort to make both Ohio, and America great again. I am that someone.

I believe that families make the best decisions regarding their and their children’s health, education, jobs, and welfare. Not the government.

EDUCATION

I believe that our public-school systems are failing our children and that all parents should have an opportunity to choose the best education available for their children.

- I believe that the U.S. Department of Education and the federal government’s role in education should be ended immediately.
- I will fight for our charter school programs and advocate for school voucher programs that empower parental choice.

I believe that Fair Elections are a cornerstone of our Republic and that we must secure our elections, by returning to paper ballots, cleaning the voter rolls, banning ballot drop boxes and requiring voter photo identification.

- I will fight for fair, honest, transparent, and secure elections – where every legal vote counts.
- I will fight for voter identification.

IMMIGRATION

I believe that America must secure it’s borders and stop illegal immigration. That means building the wall – but we cannot stop there.

- I will vote to support the mandatory use of E-Verify
- I will vote to end chain migration, refugee and asylum fraud, VISA overstays, and fight any attempt by the federal government to offer legal presence, work permits, and/or amnesty to illegal aliens.

TERM LIMITS

I am aligned with the American public and have signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge.

BIG TECH

Online platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are utilizing their platforms to push political agendas. They are arbitrarily regulating free-speech in an attempt to stifle public discourse with a distinct focus on user with Conservative values.

I will fight to reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 in an effort to increase the accountability and respect that these platforms have for freedom of expression by all Americans.
