- "Our elections have been questioned by people in all parties for decades. We need to implement laws to ensure that our elections are free and fair. The power belongs to the people and we must take a look at our current campaign laws to determine how we can make elections more transparent and a reflection of their will rather than the will of lobbyists and special interest groups. Federal elections need to be protected by conforming laws to have national elections run the same way throughout the country." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "All Americans have been led to believe that there are politicians committing crimes and that there is overwhelming evidence of such crimes. Yet, for some reason, we never have accountability as we would expect if everyday citizens were charged with such crimes. This conveys that either we are being lied to about such criminal activity to create a narrative or that politicians and other government officials are exempt from punishments that we would be unlikely to escape. Rules for thee, but not for me." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "Just a couple of those billions for Ukraine could have given US servicemembers a pay raise to actually keep up with inflation. Instead they brag about the largest pay increase in 20 yrs which, after inflation, is actually a cut. Nice pay raise for Ukraine, though!" (x.com)
- "Strong national defense, not offense." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "We are seeing a disturbing inability to recruit and retain military service members. Insertion of politics and ideologies, forcing experimental medical products, out of touch senior leadership, and declining pay increases in relation to inflation, deter healthy young Americans from considering joining our Armed Services. Additionally, veterans at alarming rates have relayed that they would not want their own children to serve after witnessing the direction in which our military has gone. Our force needs to prioritize defense mission readiness for national interests rather than training on how to forcefully make people accept and celebrate other memberâs lifestyles and choices. We need to restore values and camaraderie in our military, focusing on unity rather than differences, and ensure our military and veterans get the care they earned." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "Smaller government where the power resides with us." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "An end to uncontrollable and unsustainable spending." (maramacieforcongress.com)

- "Brad is spot on. We will absolutely fight for this country. Thanks to 2A, we are more prepared to do just that than any other citizenry. " (x.com)

- "Our medical choices, especially when referring to experimental treatments, are not to be mandated by any form of government. Under no circumstances should any agency be able to override our Constitution and mandate how Americans live. Legislators have a purpose in our country and it is time that power is returned to them and taken away from those looking to impose mandates, whether federally, at the state level, or at the municipal level. Requiring proof of a medical record in order to live a normal life in America is unacceptable." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "I wholeheartedly agree with mothers being able to be home longer. Additionally, I am not particularly arguing that incentive pays should be resumed. I'm more concerned about incentivizing pregnant women to remain somewhere longer than they should, and abortion." (x.com)

- "I'm all for zero illegal immigration. Still, we need to fund the wall and deportation of this scale AND address how to proceed with all immigration (to include a moratorium) until this situation is under control. That would require legislation." (x.com)
- "Our nation needs to be focused on securing our own border, not sending our troops and resources to fight foreign wars. Open border policies have led to devastating and disastrous outcomes for human rights, such as human and sex trafficking, and have left us vulnerable to terrorism on US soil. Rather than using our taxpayer dollars to assist illegal immigrants, we need to remove anyone without a valid legal claim to remain in the United States. A moratorium on immigration, with limited exceptions, is absolutely necessary." (maramacieforcongress.com)
- "This is a joke. No more sending billions abroad. Secure our border NOW." (x.com)
