- "Since 2010, Kristi has repeatedly cautioned conservatives that unchecked government spending would lead to a doubling of the national debt within a decadeâa prediction realized, as the debt now exceeds $26 trillion. With debt ballooning, Kristi recognizes that reining in federal spending, while unpopular in the short-term, is imperative to relieve the enormous tax burden being imposed on current and future generations. Though difficult, making prudent budget cuts now will strengthen the economy, empower taxpayers, and prevent fiscal calamity down the road." (kristirisk.com)

- "As our nation continues to face adversaries from all arenas of life, the brave men and women who daily put on a uniform to protect the citizens of the United States deserve to be equipped, funded, trained, and respected. Many men and women give their lives every year in the line of duty, to ensure the US cities, towns, and communities that dot this great nation are safe. However, with the rise in crime, the senseless attacks against the blue, and the tide of new crime coming across the border, it is imperative, now more than ever, that we stand with our servants in blue."

- "As a brand-new Army mom with two teenage sons soon leaving for basic training, I have a deep personal connection to the military that shapes my priorities. Though our servicemembers stand ready to defend America, I fear that misguided leaders undermine their ability to fulfill this solemn duty because they are more interested in padding their pockets, promoting woke indoctrination, and protecting political agendas then preparing our warfighters for battle. This is an atrocity for our troops, and I will not stand for it! Our troops deserve leaders wholly committed to preparing them for their mission." (kristirisk.com)

- "Kristi does not oppose green energy, but she does oppose poorly-studied policies and corrupt deals that benefit special interests with multi-million-dollar pocket-lining at the expense of taxpayers. She believes the viability of renewable energy should be determined by the free market through private research and consumer demand, not by government intervention." (kristirisk.com)
- "The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has found that the United States has large domestic oil reserves. Kristi believes that as a leading producer of coal and oil, America should export more of its energy resources rather than relying so heavily on imports. She will work with other members of Congress to make the U.S. more energy independent and less reliant on foreign oil which can incapacitate the US." (kristirisk.com)
- "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Kristi strongly believes that the right to bear arms emphatically belongs to individuals for self-defense." (kristirisk.com)

- "The penetrable southern border poses grave dangers to our national security. With inadequate resources to control entry into the country, we risk exposing citizens to disease, drug cartels, and terrorism on our own soil. Meanwhile, special interest groups in Washington prioritize partisan agendas over public safety. If left unchecked, these threats will soon spread from the border to backyards nationwide."

Kristi feels that all Americans deserve protection, security, and the ability to pursue life, liberty, and happiness in a nation governed by the rule of law." (kristirisk.com)
