Campaign websiteMarques' campaign website stated the following:BRINGING BACK THE AMERICAN DREAMMaking life affordable again for hardworking Alabama families will be my top priority in Congress. Out-of-control spending and reckless America-Last policies by DC career politicians have sent prices through the roof and put the American Dream out of reach. Our families deserve better at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and when trying to afford a home. I will fight to eliminate wasteful spending, lower taxes, and put more of your hard-earned money back in your pocket so hardworking Alabamians will prosper like never before.

GROWING JOBS – FROM MAIN STREET TO MADE IN AMERICAFor too long, Washington politicians have drowned businesses in overly burdensome regulations. As a small business owner, I understand what it means to sign both sides of a paycheck. Just like I’ve done in the Alabama Legislature, I will slash job-strangling red tape as your Congressman so Alabama Main Streets and the hardworking families that fuel them can thrive.

Alongside President Trump, I will fight to onshore critical supply chains, drive up real wages for Alabama families, and usher in a new era of Made in America excellence.

STANDING UP FOR OUR VETERANSCorrupt career politicians and DC Democrats have treated illegal aliens and violent criminals better than our nation’s heroes. I’ve seen it firsthand outside the gates of Fort Rucker. The system is broken, and our veterans are the ones paying the price. I’m proud to have helped make Alabama the most veteran-friendly state in America, and I’ll see to it that Washington does the same.

DEPORTING CRIMINALS & KEEPING OUR BORDERS SECURELawless open borders and mass migration policies by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris endangered our sovereignty, our national and economic security, and our families’ safety. Thank God President Trump is back in office and immediately made our nation’s borders more secure than ever. Replacing “Catch and Release” with “Detain and Deport” worked, and I’ll make sure it stays that way. As your Congressman, I’ll fight to keep criminal illegal aliens out of our communities and end the mass migration madness that’s driven down American wages and undermined our working class. Safety, security, and opportunity for Americans must always come first.

STRENGTHENING RURAL AMERICAAlabama’s First Congressional District represents the agricultural strength of our state and the coastal communities along the Gulf Coast that export American goods around the world. President Trump means business when it comes to restoring balance and giving U.S. producers the opportunities they’ve earned. I’ll work to keep delivering the fair markets and strong leadership our producers depend on, and invest in broadband and infrastructure to support healthcare, education, and economic opportunity in rural America.

DEFENDING THE 2ND AMENDMENTI have a message for Washington Democrats who want to tell Alabamians how to defend our families or our liberties: Don’t Tread on Me. The right to protect ourselves and our loved ones is God-given and guaranteed by the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers knew it would be the last line of defense against government tyranny, and I won’t let the Left take it away.

TAKING ALABAMA VALUES TO WASHINGTONWith President Trump in office, we are winning the fight for our Christian, conservative values. The Left’s Woke War and endless attempts to put they/them over WE the people have eroded the foundational values that make our country great. Like President Trump, I will always fight for common sense and keep Critical Race Theory (CRT) out of our classrooms, end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, and kick biological men out of our girls’ locker rooms.

FIGHTING FOR LIFEI voted for the strongest pro-life law in our country, and I’ll fight Democrats’ radical, pro-abortion agenda in Washington. That means defunding Planned Parenthood and making sure not one dime of taxpayer money ever goes toward ending innocent life. I am unapologetically pro-life, and I’ll take Alabama’s Christian conservative values to our nation’s capital.

SPURRING AMERICAN INNOVATIONDigital assets are beginning to play a larger role in the American economy. President Trump has expressed his clear desire for the United States to become the “crypto capital of the world,” and I fully support the executive actions his administration is taking towards that goal.

Congress recently enacted historic stablecoin legislation and should take further steps to bolster innovation and diversify our capital markets. I also believe that we can protect consumers without stifling growth or even worse, strengthening the hand of our foreign adversaries.

Furthermore, I am 100% opposed to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and was proud to support a bill in the Alabama Legislature to ensure our state was protected when the corrupt Biden administration wanted to coerce states into testing a CBDC.

Our country is at its best when our citizens are free to transact and pursue their American dream.

ACHIEVING PEACE THROUGH STRENGTHAmerica’s military must remain second to none. Communist China is our most dangerous enemy, and threats from Iran, North Korea, Russia, transnational cartels, and radical Islamic terrorists cannot be ignored. Alabama’s First Congressional District holds the key to peace through strength, from building the ships that protect our seas to maintaining America’s air dominance. I will fight tooth and nail with President Trump to make sure our troops have the resources and technology they need to keep America safe and free—and that Alabama’s defense industry continues to support thousands of good-paying jobs across our state.

BACKING ISRAELAs a Christian, I believe we are called to strongly support Israel. And as an American, I know it’s in our strategic interests to do so against the radical terrorist forces that want to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the planet. I will support President Trump’s efforts to bring sustainable peace to the Middle East and end the endless wars that have cost countless American lives and resources.

SUPPORTING OUR COASTAL ECONOMYAs a native of Baldwin County, I know firsthand that Mobile Bay and the Gulf of America support the livelihoods of countless hardworking Alabamians. We must responsibly conserve our God-given natural resources so that future generations can enjoy Alabama the Beautiful. In Congress, I will be a staunch champion for our commercial and recreational fishing industry.
