Stand Up Nebraska,
Restore American Principles

I will always put the interests of American citizens first in all policies and decisions. I will prioritize the well-being and prosperity of our nation, reject globalist agendas that undermine our sovereignty and national identity. I will always support policies that reduce government intervention in individuals' lives and advocate for smaller, more efficient government for We The People.

I recognize the importance of our nation’s education system and personally believe the most important investment we can make in our children is providing them with quality instruction, role models, and educational opportunities.  To ensure that our children reach their highest potential, we must establish a system where decisions are being made by the people most directly involved in the child’s life. I will support school choice initiatives and oppose federal education mandates.  We must empower the parents and local communities to have more control over their child’s education, including the ability to choose alternative schooling options such as home schooling and private education.

One of the most important responsibilities of the federal government is to provide for the common defense of this nation. This is more important now than ever before as we face a range of serious threats around the globe and within our borders. To safeguard our nation and our way of life, we must continuously strengthen our military and provide the very best for our troops. It is equally important that we continue providing for our nation's veterans when they return home from their service. During my time in Congress, I will focus on ensuring that those who have served our nation have access to the highest quality health care, education, and family support.

Our nation is more than 34 trillion dollars in debt. The current course of excessive borrowing and spending is unsustainable.  The House of Representatives must craft a timely budget that responsibly addresses the needs of the American people. The irresponsible practice of budget busting deficits and the endless string of continuing resolutions must stop. In fiscal 2023, the government took in revenue of 4.5 trillion dollars, the government spent 6.1 trillion dollars.  The American people are not taxed too little, the government is spending too much. It is well past time to get spending under control and work towards a balanced budget.

The United States has a proud tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees from economically distressed parts of the world. I fully embrace that tradition, and I believe America’s generosity in this regard is what makes our country a beacon of hope and freedom for the world. 

Our nation should continue to welcome more legal immigration through an expedited and well-regulated system that focuses on what is in the best interest of our nation.

​

A nation that does not secure its borders invites illegal drugs, unrestrained violence, human trafficking, terrorism, and a public health catastrophe.

Illegal immigrants apprehended at the border or those who make their way into the interior of the country should be expelled to their home countries immediately. It is the responsibility of the United States to fortify and secure our borders to ensure the safety and sovereignty of our nation.

Every life is precious, and I will defend the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. I stand firm against any efforts to undermine the rights of the unborn and I will never support the public funding of companies who carry out elective abortions.

The Bill of Rights was crafted to protect Americans from a potential overbearing, tyrannical government. It is not a coincidence that the first and second amendment's guarantee our right to free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. The 1st amendment safeguards robust discourse and religious liberty, along with other fundamental rights. Limiting free speech only serves to protect those in power so that God-given right must always be protected. Our right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment. We must oppose any attempt to infringe upon law-abiding citizens' right to own and carry firearms for self-defense and to protect against government tyranny.

Fiscal conservatism has as its bedrock beliefs responsible spending, lower taxes, and reducing the national debt. To help achieve those principles we must lower the tax burden on our citizens and drastically simplify the tax code. We must also promote winning trade policies and tariffs to aggressively protect American industries and workers from unfair competition and outsourcing. We firmly support small businesses by reducing regulations to get government off the back of business and foster entrepreneurship and economic growth.
