03

Make life affordable

Cut wasteful spending and regulation so working families can keep more of what they earn.

04

Community safety

Back the men and women in law enforcement and keep violent criminal illegal immigrants off our streets.

Stand for women & girls

Primary sponsor of the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. Biological reality belongs in law, locker rooms, and scholarships.
