- "As an advocate for limited government, womenâs health care should never be in the hands of the federal government. North Dakota does not have a clinic that performs elective abortions; this truly is an issue of womenâs reproductive health care, especially as the conversation is now turning to the accessibility of in vitro fertilization. I am the only Republican in this race that supports womenâs health care and equal rights. I am in this race to support health care for your sisters, daughters, granddaughters, etc. North Dakota doctors are leaving our state in fear of the strict restrictions being placed on their ability to care for their patients. I do not believe the government should be in your bedroom or in a womanâs doctorâs appointment. If this is going to be a state right, any candidate who also wants a federal ban does not support the core values of our party â limited government." (caramund.com)
- "Iâm a strong believer in limited government. I donât think that they should be controlling women" (x.com)

- "Our southern border is in a state of crisis. I would have supported the recent bipartisan border security and foreign aid package negotiated by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. The opportunity for Republicans to pass a border security bill such as this under a Democrat president would have been a major win for Republicans as it would have allowed us to secure our borders and combat issues such as the increased trafficking of fentanyl into our state and local communities. Unfortunately, the current Congress, as well as all of my opponents, care more about doing what Donald Trump says than protecting our communities. If elected, I will work to solve, not delay, the complex problems facing our state." (caramund.com)

- "I applaud House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., for agreeing to bring foreign aid bills to the floor for a vote when it could have cost him his job as speaker. It is unfortunate our own representative did not support the Republican House speaker. I agree with Congressâ actions in supporting aid for Ukraine as it provides crucial military assistance. We either assist Ukraine in their fight or we prepare for our own war with Russia; our national security is dependent upon our ability to stop Russia now. For the future, I support alternative means of funding, such as foreign aid loans, but I also recognize that 80% of the recently passed aid will be spent in the U.S. or by the U.S. military. History will remember this moment as one where we stepped up." (caramund.com)
