Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

National Sovereignty. The objective of implementing and maintaining a state of National Sovereignty translates to a thoughtful process of formulation and implementation of America First policies such as U.S. Energy Independence, U.S. Economic Strength, Fiscal Responsibility, Sealed U.S. Sovereign Borders, Fiscal Responsibility, and Superior Military Modalities.Empowerment of individuals, minimization of Government regulation, and National Patriotism. It is paramount to constrain the Government to its enumerated powers in the Constitution such that the Government does not impede the Liberty of the People whom it serves. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the founding documents of our Liberty and the Supreme Law of the Land. The major issues we face are best solved by a renewed allegiance to the original intent of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The sole purpose of Government, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, is to secure our unalienable rights given by our Creator. When the Government grows beyond this scope, it is usurpation, and Liberty is compromised.Sanctity of Life (From Conception to Natural Death).  I affirm the God-given legal personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death. The first duty of the law is to protect innocent life created in the image of God. No government may legalize the taking of life without justification. Legalizing the termination of innocent life of the born or unborn, whether by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, or suicide, is a direct violation of their unalienable right to life.

Legislative Goals for 2025 - 2026:

1. Drive and introduce legislation to the House floor to defund and eliminate wasteful Government Departments (e.g. U.S. Department of Education) and non-profitable, Government-subsidized organizations and programs (e.g. Amtrak, Obamacare, and Green Energy initiatives). That is, introduce legislation focused on promoting Federalism in a framework and pattern of fiscal responsibility with accountability for the Republic, identifying and eliminating Socialist and Marxist programs (i.e. distortions to Federalism) initiated by the Obama and Biden Administrations.

2. Adequately funding the Department of Defense (DoD) to address the geopolitical threats of Communist China, Russia, and Iran. Mandate immediate termination of all DEI/WOKE policies in the DoD ranks and the supporting Military Industrial Complex (MIC).

3. Adequately funding the Department of Homeland Security to protect U.S. Sovereign Borders by repelling the illegal immigrant invasion and destroying Mexican cartels and human trafficking operations.

4. Drive and introduce legislation to fortify and secure U.S. Sovereign Borders, while concurrently, defunding sanctuary cities and deporting all illegal immigrants, without exception.

5. Drive and introduce legislation to the House floor to outlaw the participation of illegal immigrants, non-citizens, in government functions (e.g. voting) at any level, and to strip tax-exempt status from non-profit organizations that aid and abet the illegal immigrants.

6. Drive legislation to extend the Trump-era tax cuts.

7. Drive legislation for "No Tax on Tips" and "No Tax on Social Security Benefits."

8. Pass Reciprocal Trade Act.

9. Work closely with the Trump Administration to completely dismantle the Biden-Kamala policy of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) which causes urban blight.

10. To focus on Fiscal Responsibility, I will vote for the Trump-Vance Administration initiative to terminate all Green New Scam funding, and concurrently, enhancing the production of natural gas, and its derivatives such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Making America "Energy Dominant", I will vote for the policies for pragmatic turn-key and emerging energy production, including micro-nuclear. I envision Colorado being a pioneer in micro-nuclear.

11. Drive and introduce legislation to the House floor to effectively limit, and in some cases eliminate, the capacity of U.S. businesses and U.S. universities to transfer U.S. technology and business capital to Communist China.

12. Drive and introduce legislation to the House floor to eliminate the purchase of U.S. land and Real Estate assets by Communist China.

13. Drive and introduce legislation to the House floor to ban the import and sale of products in the U.S. manufactured using slave labor, concentrating on products manufactured in Communist China.[19]
