A strong growing economy is an urgent domestic priority of Congress right now. Americans want economic growth, higher take home pay and lower taxes. I will support reducing taxes on hard working Americans, rolling back regulations and barriers on small business growth. In addition, I will support free and fair international trade policies that are crucial for all sectors of American’s economy. This will create jobs, end economic uncertainty, and make America more competitive. 

I am a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment. I strongly support an individual right to own guns, which is clearly protected by the Constitution. I believe the 2nd Amendment enables law-abiding citizens throughout the country to own firearms to protect themselves and their families. I oppose federal licensing of law-abiding gun owners and national gun registration. I am completely opposed to any action that puts any level of restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms. 

I will be a champion for freedom and a fierce defender of our Constitutional rights. While defending our 2nd Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens, I will work to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. 

 I 100% support term limits. There are special interest groups out there trying to tell lies because I will not be beholden to them and their specific plan. I support term limits and will work with my constituents to discover how long those limits should be. 

Watch my video as I discuss my position on term limits and special interest groups.    

Michigan’s infrastructure is in dire need of repair. I will work with anyone willing to help continue building our nation’s road and bridges. Access to reliable and safe infrastructure is vital for a strong healthy economy. Improved infrastructure is crucial to city revitalization projects, creating jobs and attractive for business and manufacturing investment. 

I will work to expedite the federal approval process for infrastructure projects to ensure we have the ability to quickly repair our crumbling roads and bridges. We need to modernize outdated infrastructure and increase broadband to rural communities, so every resident and business has access to the tools and resources they need to achieve success. 

 Federal welfare and assistance programs were originally developed to assist those who could not historically work for themselves and to be a safety net for those who had fallen on tough times. Unfortunately, however, these programs, which were designed to help people in their times of need, have turned into perpetual and unsustainable government spending. If we do not address these current programs, they will spiral out of control. 

Many Americans have worked hard, often starting at minimum wage jobs, to provide for their families. I believe we must focus on growing the economy so people can get good-paying jobs, so they no longer need government assistance. It is unfortunate that some people choose to stay on government assistance programs and crowd out those in real need. I will work in Congress to reach solutions that keep these programs for those who truly need them.

I am passionate about changing the way our nation treats its veterans. President Trump is leading the effort. But we can and must do more to help our veterans re-enter the workforce and society. We must make sure that we provide veterans with high-quality care and job training. The work of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is essential to meet our commitments to the men and women who served our country. I will fight for accountability and transparency within the VA. We cannot allow bureaucracy to get in the way of meeting the needs of our veterans. Our veterans represent the very best of our great nation. America must keep its promise to support and provide for those who served. 

The First Amendment in the United States Constitution clearly spells out that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion; or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” However, religious liberties in America are constantly under attack. 

If elected to serve in Congress, I will stand strong in defense of our religious liberties so America will remain a free country for people to pray and practice their faith without government interference. 

 To ensure a strong agriculture economy, I will push for more fair and free trade between our trading partners. This will increase exports, promote competition, and lower food prices. Strong fair trade will also promote new foreign market access opportunities and expand rural broadband. To help farmers and ranchers access workers in a timely manner, I will work to improve the efficiency of H-2A visas that will ease burdensome regulations. 

The Great Lakes are a precious natural resource that must be protected. I oppose any large or small- scale diversion of water outside the Great Lakes basin. Whether it is stopping Asian Carp, invasive species or high-water levels, I will work on finding solutions to protect, preserve and strengthen the Great Lakes for future generations.
