 Taxation & Fiscal Responsibility

Families in our district are working harder than ever, but Washington keeps making life more expensive. Every trip to the grocery store, every bill in the mailbox, and every tank of gas is a reminder that reckless spending and endless debt are crushing affordability for ordinary Americans.

Our national debt has exploded past $37 trillion. Rising interest rates, endless money-printing, and wasteful programs are driving us toward a fiscal cliff. Every dollar borrowed is nothing more than a future tax your children and grandchildren will never be able to pay.

Washington pretends it is making “cuts” while actually increasing spending. That manipulative math must end. I will fight for real, immediate reductions in federal spending by cutting waste, fraud, and duplication in every agency, and forcing government to live within its means just like every family and small business has to.

I also support a 10% flat tax that is simple, fair, and honest. No loopholes and no carve-outs. You earned your paycheck, and you know how to spend it better than any bureaucrat in Washington. By letting families and businesses keep more of what they earn, we can grow the economy, create opportunity, and restore affordability. Washington does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending addiction. It is time to stop bankrupting the future and start protecting the people who pay the bills: you.

Defense

US National Defense & Veterans

With McGuire Air Force Base in our district, we understand the price of freedom. America must remain strong enough to deter our enemies and protect our people, but we should never send our men and women into wars that do not serve our nation.

We can eliminate waste and bureaucracy in defense without weakening our military. Our troops deserve the best training, technology, and support, not broken promises and bloated budgets.

Just as important, we must take care of those who have already served. Veterans deserve top-notch care, faster access to the VA, and strong support for mental health and PTSD. Too many have been left behind, and that is unacceptable. America is strongest when we defend our nation, honor our heroes, and keep our promises to every veteran.

Healthcare

 Health Care, Medicare, and Social Security

Health care and retirement security should never be a partisan issue. Families in our district are being crushed by the rising cost of care, and too many seniors worry about whether Medicare and Social Security will be there when they need it most. These programs were earned by hard-working Americans who paid into the system their entire lives, and they must be protected.

I will fight to bring down the cost of health care by tackling waste, ending price gouging, and encouraging more competition so families can actually afford the care they need. Washington politicians talk about lowering costs, but all we get is more bureaucracy and higher bills. It is time to deliver real relief.

I will also stand firm in protecting Medicare and Social Security for those who are legally eligible. These programs are a promise made to the American people and breaking that promise is not an option. We can strengthen them for future generations by cutting wasteful spending in Washington, not by cutting the benefits seniors depend on. Every American deserves peace of mind when it comes to their health and retirement. My commitment is simple: I will fight to lower costs, protect Medicare and Social Security, and make sure these lifelines remain strong for today’s seniors and tomorrow’s.

Education & Parental Rights

 Education & Parental Rights

Every parent in our district wants the same thing: safe schools where their children can learn the fundamentals, develop critical thinking skills, and prepare for a successful future. Education should be about knowledge and opportunity, not political agendas.

I strongly support school choice. Parents, not bureaucrats, should decide what education is best for their children. Competition raises standards, expands opportunity, and puts students first.

I will fight to keep classrooms focused on math, reading, science, history, and the skills our kids need to succeed in life. There is no place for woke ideology, inappropriate materials, or political indoctrination in education. Schools must return to their true purpose: teaching, not pushing agendas.

I also believe every child deserves a safe learning environment. Parents should never have to worry about violence, drugs, or unsafe campuses. We must work to ensure schools are secure, disciplined, and supportive of every child’s growth.

Most importantly, I will always stand for parental rights. Parents have the first and final say in raising their children. Schools work for families, not the other way around.

Strong families build strong communities, and strong communities build a strong America. That begins with putting parents back in charge of education.

Public Saftey

Public Safety and Law Enforcement Support

Every family deserves to feel safe in their community. Yet too often, politicians in Washington and Trenton side with criminals instead of the men and women sworn to protect us. As your representative, I will always back the blue and ensure our law enforcement officers have the resources, training, and respect they need to do their jobs effectively.

We cannot allow soft on crime policies, sanctuary cities, or revolving door justice systems to undermine the rule of law. Criminals must be held accountable, and communities must come first. Public safety is not negotiable.

At the same time, we must work to strengthen the bond between officers and the communities they serve. That means better support for mental health resources, improved recruitment and retention, and ensuring officers are never scapegoated for political gain. Strong neighborhoods are built on safe streets, and safe streets are made possible by brave men and women who put on the uniform every day. I will stand with them and with you to restore law and order and keep New Jersey families safe.

Second Amendment

6

Second Amendment & Personal Freedom

The Second Amendment is not just about firearms, it is about freedom. Our right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional guarantee, not a privilege handed out by government. It protects our families, our communities, and ultimately, our liberty.

I fully support national concealed carry reciprocity. Your constitutional rights should not end at a state border. Law-abiding citizens who can carry in one state should not be treated like criminals in another.

I will also fight back against states like New Jersey that continually trample on the Second Amendment and ignore court rulings that uphold your rights. No politician, no judge, and no bureaucrat has the authority to strip away freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

The fight for the Second Amendment is the fight for personal freedom. I will always defend and work to expand those freedoms for every American.

Border

Border Security & Immigration Enforcement

If we do not have a border, we do not have a country. Under President Trump’s leadership, we proved that strong policies work. Illegal crossings have fallen to historic lows, fentanyl smuggling has been disrupted, and for the first time in history, there are zero mass releases into the country. America is finally regaining control of its border.

But the fight is not over. Dangerous cartels, human traffickers, and those who exploit weak laws are still testing our system every day. That is why we must finish the wall, restore full immigration enforcement, and empower states to defend themselves when Washington refuses to act.

And let me be clear. Sanctuary cities that harbor illegal immigrants while ignoring the law will no longer get a free pass. If local politicians refuse to enforce federal law, they should not receive federal funding. American safety and sovereignty must always come first.

I will always stand for legal immigration that strengthens our nation, but I will never support illegal immigration that burdens our communities, drains our resources, and puts American lives at risk. Protecting our border is about more than security. It is about preserving America itself.

Other Issus

Other Issues

There are countless other challenges that demand attention, including protecting free speech from censorship, securing our power grid and critical infrastructure, standing with law enforcement to keep our communities safe, restoring medical freedom, and rolling back the power of unelected bureaucrats who think they run this country. Every one of these issues matters deeply because they all touch the lives and freedoms of everyday Americans.

But here is the truth. If we fail to confront the biggest threats to our republic such as crushing debt, government corruption, lack of accountability, and broken elections, none of the rest will matter. That is why we must act with urgency to save America now, so we still have a nation strong enough to face these challenges and win.

And as we fight, we must remember that disagreement does not make us enemies. At the end of the day, we are all Americans. We all want a nation that is strong, free, and prosperous; a nation worthy of the next generation. That is the America I am fighting for, and together we can make it real.
