Gaza conflict

I want to see the killing end. I believe it is imperative to reduce deaths in Gaza as much as possible.

Government spending and the border

I will fight to end inflation by pursuing fiscal responsibility and cutting government waste, fraud, and abuse, secure America by advocating for the right resources to go to our southern border, and restore faith in our government by restoring integrity to the office I wish to serve.
