In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I have developed specific legislative proposals to address them, including my American Controlled Immigration Workforce and Security Act, my Data Center Community Consent Act, and my Veterans 28 Act.”
“As a Libertarian, I believe excessive regulation and bureaucracy are contributing to the housing affordability crisis by making it more difficult and expensive to build new homes.”
“I will never support any branch of the federal government exceeding its constitutional authority.”
“I would work to disengage the United States from foreign wars that do not directly serve our national defense and redirect our attention and resources toward problems here at home.”
“I am not running simply to talk about problems; I am bringing serious legislative proposals that I believe can directly benefit people in my district and, potentially, Americans across the country.”
“These problems need solutions, not another election full of promises.”

“For decades, Americans have been told that we have two choices. Democrats tell us Republicans are the problem. Republicans tell us Democrats are the problem.”
“I came to the United States as an immigrant, and through hard work, I received opportunities that changed my life.”
