Beliefs

I support the Following:

Concerns

We need to work on the Following:

The Economy-we need energy independence, to balance, the budget, get out of debt, bring down inflation, prioritize water to our farmers and ranchers, and fix our supply lines.
Education – School Choice is vitality important. The money should follow the child (this includes homeschooling without government regulations or restrictions). Additionally, parents must have a say in their children’s education. School vouchers will help ensure this happens.
Homelessness and Crime – this is a problem that be resolved at a local level, however, as a representative I can help with bringing finances and other resources to the district.
Border Security – we need to immediately secure the border and stop all illegal crossings. We must go back to immediately returning those who crossed over illegally to their country of origin. We must deal humanely with those who came here illegally but they must never receive citizenship.
Election integrity – Every state and territory should conduct full forensic audits of the 2020 election. Appropriate action should be taken following the results of the audit, including prosecution for anyone who may have violated the las. Voter rolls need to be cleaned to guarantee only citizens who live in the district are voting. A law should be passed that requires states to keep records for 10 years or if a forensic audit was contacted by a 3rd party, they must be kept for 6 years.

Actions

I will introduce legislation or sponsor existing legislation on the following issues:

States cannot toll any road without the vote of the people affected by the tolls
Combat sex and human trafficking
Assist the victims of sex and human trafficking
Help States to find solutions for affordable housing crisis
Help States and localities find solutions to homelessness (which will require dealing with the multifaceted causes of homelessness – mental illness, drug addiction, lack of resources, etc.)
To make the tax cut permanent
To end the practice of “Let It Burn” forest management that has allowed fires to go unchecked threatening the lives of our citizens, their livestock and land.
To bring back Oregon’s forests to local control
To make congressional retirement and health insurance options the same as private citizens and to end any other perks or benefits that congress has granted itself that the private citizens do not have access to.
To fix problems with Medicare
To correct issues with the justice system, similar to the First Step act and encourage the states to the same with the state justice system
To repeal and replace Obamacare, while protecting coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
