Priorities
Education
All students deserve the opportunity to discover, develop, and deploy their unique passions and talents. Instead of limiting families to a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to education, we should expand their available choices so they can customize their student’s educational options in ways that best suit their unique needs.
Economy
America is in the middle of an economic crisis. Unsustainable government spending and burdensome regulations have driven up inflation and resulted in high food, energy, and housing costs — limiting the economic progress of nearly every American. That’s why we’re working to reduce wasteful spending, unleash energy abundance, and empower workers to prove prosperity is still possible and together we can reignite the American Dream.
Taxes
Prosperity is Possible when we support policies that hold our leaders accountable, promote responsible spending, curb inflation, and make goods and services more affordable for Americans. Government needs to work for us and budget responsibly.
