  • "Strong families are healthy families, but even healthy families get sick. And when they do, they need access to high quality health care and prescription drugs that are made affordable NOT through socialistic government programs, but through competition and transparency of costs and outcomes to the consumers. I will fight to reclaim and maintain choice of health care providers and insurance plans." (cleanupthehouse.com)

They have always had our backs, and we need to have theirs. We owe them actual and sustained support, not just lip service. Law and order must be maintained for people to survive and to thrive." (cleanupthehouse.com)
  • Do you support increasing defense spending? "Yes" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "Free and fair elections are essential to the survival of our Constitutional Republic. Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote in U.S. elections, but sadly, that is increasingly not the case now. Voter registration fraud is a growing problem, made worse by recent changes in election law that provide for same-day voter registration. We need a more robust system for requiring proof of U.S. citizenship (not merely residency) in order to vote in our country." - (cleanupthehouse.com)

  • "A country without borders is no country at all. Building the wall and securing other ports of entry by land and sea are all essential in the fight to stop the flow of illegal aliens who subvert the process of legally immigrating to this country. Cutting off illegal immigration is key to curtailing the drug and sex trafficking industries, as well as the infiltration of criminal gang members – all of which pose serious threats to America that we can’t afford to ignore." - (cleanupthehouse.com)
  • "We, as a sovereign nation, get to decide who we want coming to live and remain here. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. It carries with it responsibilities, and must occur according to our country’s laws and rules. Criminal behavior of any kind on the part of illegal immigrants, and especially violent criminal offenses, must not be tolerated and should be grounds for immediate deportation. Police must be encouraged to cooperate with ICE in honoring detention requests and removing criminal aliens from our streets and from our country." - (cleanupthehouse.com)
