Priority Issues:

$21+ Trillion national debt. Why isn't anyone talking about this?
No more 1,000+ page legislation
Tax Reform -- long-term goal is to take us to scrap the tax code and put America on a flat tax; a short-term goal that is achievable is to slash diesel fuel taxes.
Preserve Civil Liberties
Criminal Justice Reform
Foreign Policy -- stop making the United States military serve as the world's police force.
Preserve the Second Amendment
Immigration Reform -- make legal entry into the country easier to end the border crossing black market that exists; current border policies are promoting violations of the 4th Amendment by I.C.E. and Customs and Border Patrol; "Building the Wall" is leading to violations of the 3rd Amendment against property owners along the border and will be more expensive than was promised.
End all corporate subsidies and bailouts.
End all foreign aid.
Reform Veterans Affairs -- fold it back into the Department of Defense; enroll all veterans who qualify for health coverage into Blue Cross Blue Shield and then begin eliminating the brick-and-mortar VA medical centers. We will save millions of taxpayer dollars while empowering veterans to get the care they need from their local practices and medical facilities.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

It is time the American people were given an option to vote for candidates who are dedicated to restoring the principles that made our country great in the first place.

Spouse's Occupation:

Sarah is a Physical Therapist Assistant, working in Defiance.
