- "The Biden administration spent 500 million dollars on climate and clean energy research alone. The Green New Deal is proposed as a solution, yet we are spending millions on continued research to reach a goal by 2050. The American people are spending billions on a agenda that is not about the climate but more about government control. This must change." (www.shawlocal.com)
- "The renewable energy proposed in The Green New Deal is catastrophic and will bankrupt this country. This plan leaves us dependent upon countries like China and Germany who are producing the windmills and turbines. Turbines are killing bald eagles and other birds." (www.shawlocal.com)

- "Complete the wall, reinstitute Title 42, hold government officials accountable who are breaking the law in spending tax payer dollars to usher in the undocumented migrant invasion." (www.shawlocal.com)
- "I support the wallâs completion, which was started under the Trump administration. Border walls have reduced illegal immigration in countries like Israel, Greece, Spain, and Norway. They are crucial in keeping control of immigration and preserving national security." (www.shawlocal.com)
- "I believe there is a fair approach to dealing with children that have come to this country illegally because of their parents. These children and their parents would have to have a clean record, learn to speak English, and know the history and values of our country. They would be required to pass an exam similar to those taken for citizenship to receive a five-year residence renewable upon completing a new test and maintaining an impeccable record. At that point, these new residents would obtain permanent legal status. They would be eligible to stay and work, but unless they were a minor under the age of 12 when entering the country illegally, they would not be able to become citizens. I believe that granting citizenship to children already born in the US from illegal immigration can be beneficial in rectifying the breach caused by unlawful immigration in our nation. However, we do not support the abuse of our 14th Amendment, which was meant to naturalize slaves. Using this blood-bought Amendment to have "anchor" babies should be a punishable crime."
