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 Security: Securing the border and releasing our energy sector so we stop funding our enemies abroad.Economy: Balancing the budget, stopping government's out of control spending and lowering inflation.Educational freedom and protecting parental rights.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am a Constitutional Conservative who is dedicated to limited government, and will fight for accountability and transparency in Washington DC. I will work to secure our border to protect our communities and end drug and human trafficking. Another key to national security is releasing our energy sector to become net energy exporters again and stop funding our enemies such as Iran and Russia, and then can also rein in skyrocketing inflation. In DC, I will push for a balanced budget amendment and single subject bills to eliminate the overspending in government with citizen's hard earned tax dollars and eliminate unsustainable debt. I will also stand for parental rights and educational freedom that helps every student prosper especially those in the urban and minority communities where they are trapped in failing schools.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I have taken the term limit pledge and believe that it is key to ending the corrupt and crony policies of out of touch career politicians.
