  • "Our federal government has been living beyond its means for far too long and hard working families are paying the price with record inflation. The cost of everything has skyrocketed from the gas pumps to the grocery store. In the course of Joe Biden’s presidency, our country has felt the downturn of a recession and the abandonment of common sense by our government. We must return to normalcy by actually getting back to passing a budget. It’s time to have the courage to live within our means and stop bankrupting future generations." (www.abeforaz.com)

  • "America cannot exist without free and fair elections. What we witnessed in the 2020 and 2022 election should never happen again and there must be accountability. I am still fighting for those that were disenfranchised last November in court and will never waver in fighting for the integrity of our elections. I am going to take this fight to Congress and work to ensure our voting rolls are clean, ranked choice voting is banned at the federal level and both parties have expressed concerns about election security since the turn of the decade. It is not a political issue, but a matter of ensuring our most fundamental rights have not been subverted. I will work to bring accountability to our elections." (www.abeforaz.com)

  • "Our border is a complete disaster due to the Biden’s administration’s intentional policies. In Congress, I will make border security a top priority by allocating resources to target and end illegal border crossings and crimes at the border. I will work with President Trump to build the wall and will work to pass a bill classifying drug cartels as the terrorist organizations they are. I will always vote to defend our border and protect private property." (www.abeforaz.com)

  • "In the 1980’s, Rep. Charlie Wilson’s war strategy in Afghanistan cost $19 billion total in today’s dollars over a TEN YEAR period and we defeated the Soviet Union because of it! In 18 months we’ve spent $125 billion on Ukraine and what are we going to get out of it?" (x.com)
