- Ballotpedia "Fiscal sanity. Rein in reckless spending. With almost $35 trillion in national debt, America's spending trajectory is unsustainable. It punishes American familes, undercuts our economy, and poses a critical national security threat. Congress has 2 key responsibilities: budgeting and oversight. It's failing at both. Budgeting and oversight are my key skills, as a legislator and auditor. I believe that the solution to our national deficit and national debt requires a combination of both cutting spending and growing the economy. Targeting wasteful spending and improving the efficiency of government programs can yield savings without cutting essential services while the government can make substantial progress in lowering the deficit."

- "Unleash Utahâs energy resources and public lands" (www.votefrugal.com)
- Ballotpedia "Economic vitality and energy dominance. Capital flows where it is rewarded and flees where it is punished. America must have a tax and regulatory structure that rewards domestic investment, rather than pushing industries offshore. Right now, America is too beholden on other nations for critical industries. Unfortunately, rather than creating a welcoming economy, the Biden Administrating is trying to bribe some companies to invest domestically while imposing massive tariffs on others to supposedly protect domestic industries. We must unleash our energy sector, whether nuclear, oil, gas, geothermal, etc. to supply the world. When the U.S. supplies the world with energy resources, it promotes global security."

- "Secure the border and fortify our national defense" (www.votefrugal.com)
- Ballotpedia "My Ellis Island Immigration plan rests of 2 pillars: securing the border and fixing legal immigration. Legal, hardworking immigrants helped build a strong, vibrant America. Criminal chaos weakens it. Like Ellis Island, America needs an orderly pathway for immigrants seeking lawful entry and the pursuit of the American Dream. We can have immigration policies that keep our communities safe while building a stronger, prosperous, and secure America. Fixing consists of streamlining green card applications and temporary worker programs, conducting comprehensive background checks, and requiring each immigrant to have a job or a sponsor. Border security involved completing and reinforcing the southern border wall, restricting asylum laws." (ballotpedia.org)
