Housing

Work with the market to increase the supply of starter homes.
Economy
​
An honest day's work should be enough to build a good life. Today, too many Americans are working as hard as ever and finding it harder to achieve the American Dream. As economic power continues to consolidate into fewer hands, competition shrinks, small businesses struggle, and working families lose leverage.
I believe a strong economy is built from the ground up, with small businesses as its backbone. We need fair markets where hard work, innovation, and entrepreneurship are rewarded, not monopolies that stifle competition and opportunity. It's time to put our focus back on the real economy, where people build businesses, grow food, make things, and create something that lasts.
Cut the red tape that strangles small businesses and the skilled trades.
Stop punishing the people who build, make, and fix things.
Support American manufacturing and keep good-paying jobs here at home.
Support the small businesses that Main Street runs on.
Fund apprenticeships, trade schools, and job training.
Reward skilled work with wages people can live on.
Healthcare
Healthcare should be about healing people, not maximizing profits. No American should have to choose between getting the care they need or financial ruin. Families shouldn't have to rely on GoFundMe to pay for medical treatment.
Strengthen antitrust enforcement and stop anti-competitive mergers.
Protect independent physicians, clinics, and rural hospitals.
Lower prescription drug costs.
Improve health outcomes, not just healthcare spending.
Cut unnecessary administrative costs and bureaucracy.
Public office was never meant to be a path to wealth, but one of service, duty, and responsibility.
Ban members of Congress from buying, selling, or trading individual stocks while in office.
Support a constitutional amendment to overturn the effects of Citizens United.
Enact meaningful campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of special-interest money.
Strengthen lobbying and ethics laws, including revolving-door restrictions.
Increase transparency in campaign finance, lobbying, and government.
Strengthen anti-corruption laws and protect whistleblowers.
Hold everyone accountable under the law, no one is above it.
Strong Schols
Parents are a child's first teachers. My own parents homeschooled me, so I know firsthand how important parental involvement is. I support strong public schools, parents' right to choose the educational path that's best for their family, and keeping students, parents, and local communities at the center of education.
​
Fund strong local public schools.
​
Pay teachers what the job is worth.
​
Keep education decisions with parents and local communities, not bureaucrats in Washington.
​
Ban social media companies from collecting data on children under 18.
​
Expand career and technical education, apprenticeships, and the skilled trades.
​
Not every student needs a four-year degree to build a good life.
​
Fully fund special education.
​
Strengthen Title I support for high-need schools.
Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and community, but that's not always the reality in the 8th District.
Growing up in this district, I've seen what happens when emergency services are stretched too thin, when families facing domestic violence don't know where to turn, and when people struggling with addiction can't get the help they need. These aren't distant problems; they touch nearly every community. Most of us know a family member, friend, neighbor, or coworker who has faced one of these challenges.
Our police are neighbors who run toward danger. Fund them, train them, and stand with them.
Crack down on fentanyl traffickers poisoning our communities.
Treat addiction like the disease it is.
Strengthen emergency services.
Support victims of domestic violence and expand access to shelters and support services.
Strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Expand access to mental health care and crisis intervention.
Hold violent offenders accountable.
Supporting our veterans should never be a partisan issue. Honor their service not only with words, but with action. Our nation has a responsibility to keep the promises it makes to those who serve.
Cut red tape and reduce delays at the VA.
Expand access to in-home and community-based care so veterans can receive care closer to home.
Improve mental health care, PTSD treatment, and suicide prevention services.
Fully honor the PACT Act and ensure veterans exposed to toxic substances receive the care and benefits they have earned.
Strengthen job training and career transition programs for veterans.
Immigration
Coming Soon
Our foreign policy should also reflect our values.
Our first responsibility is to protect the American people, uphold our Constitution, and pursue peace whenever possible without compromising our national security.
