Where they stand
Energy and manufacturing
Energy independence and American manufacturing must be priorities. Southwest Ohio thrives when our industries are strong and our energy is reliable and affordable. I support policies that expand domestic energy production, reduce unnecessary regulations, and bring supply chains back to the United States so we are not dependent on foreign adversaries.
Source: ballotpedia.org
Federal spending
Fiscal responsibility is essential to protecting our economic future. Out-of-control federal spending has driven inflation and made life more expensive for families and small businesses. I will advocate for responsible budgeting, reducing waste, and policies that promote economic growth and job creation.
Source: ballotpedia.org
National security and the border
National security and border security must be restored. A safe nation is the foundation for prosperity. I support strong border enforcement, modernizing our immigration system, and ensuring that federal law is consistently upheld to protect American communities and sovereignty.

Policy areas he names as his own
I am most passionate about national security, economic stability, and constitutional governance.
