Less Crime

Violent Crime has plagued our communities for too long. Citizens deserve to feel safe in their homes, at work, and while carrying out daily activities. Our police should be fully funded and crime should not be tolerated.

More Jobs

Every American should have the opportunity to live their own American Dream. Upward mobility can be better realized with a growing economy and more quality jobs. Lessening the barrier to entry for new entrepreneurs is vital to creating an economy where anyone with a good idea and hard work can start a business, grow, and thrive. Congress must eliminate burdensome regulations, bureaucratic delays, and reduce the tax burden so that businesses can continue to compete in a global marketplace.

Secure Border

In 2021, the United States saw more illegal immigration across our Southern border than ever before – more than 2 million entrants. Our national sovereignty and our national security is at stake. Drug dealers, terrorists, and human traffickers have all used our weak border security to harm Americans. We must enhance funding for our Border Patrol and Customs Enforcement, end “catch and release” policies, and enhance deterrents to enter the United States illegally.

Lower Taxes

Michiganders deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money. Our federal income taxes are too high, too complicated, and unfair. Reducing taxes and closing loopholes should be matched with eliminating wasteful spending and balancing our budget. Taxes must be flatter and fairer for all Americans.

Better Education

Education should always be focused on student success. Parents need to be empowered with diverse options to choose the best schools and programs for their children. We should greatly reduce our federal Department of Education, sending more money directly to states and local school districts where the needs of students can be met more effectively.

Quality Healthcare

America’s healthcare system is under tremendous pressure from high costs, staffing shortages, and a decrease in care providers. Providers and customers should be given more flexibility and care options. To increase access for every American we must lower costs, to do this we need to reduce onerous regulation, increase competition, end mandates, and improve price transparency.

Strong Defense

America can preserve peace through strength by ensuring that we maintain the most capable military force on Earth. One of the few express duties of our federal government is to provide national security. Congress must properly fund our military while at the same time provide oversight to reduce ineffective spending.^[1]
