| Collapse all
- I'm Fighting for Oregon to end illegal immigration and always place the American citizen first in every piece of legislation. We can build the wall, mandate e-verify and deport illegal aliens!
- Our 2nd Amendment is under attack. I'll be your Federal Friend in D.C. where I'll push federal preemption on any state gun bans, mag size limits or other infringements. I'll also push for constitutional carry!
- We CAN drain the Washington, D.C. swamp with term limits, the Washington Corruption Act and more. It is all about priority so when I'm there the focus of the budget and my time will always be America First!
Americans deserve a safe Country with strong borders and enforced laws. It's common sense!
We must repair broken immigration laws to benefit our country and citizens. America 1st!
Businesses must follow the law just like American citizens. Require e-verify and legal employment!
Stop business as usual in D.C. by prioritizing the American worker and family. I'll be your voice!
America First Economy
American capitalism has lifted generations out of poverty. Keep the marketplace free and fair!
Cut the red tape and regulations that hurt so many small businesses and job growth. Lower all taxes!
Stop taxpayer funded bailouts and let the marketplace work. Reject socialist programs!
Require government infrastructure projects to hire and buy American. Spend our tax dollars locally!
End Government Corruption
D.C. is filled with career politicians who only work together to deficit spend. We can stop it together!
We see politicians being cozy with special interests. I won't be. I'll always be true to Oregonians!
The federal government has forgotten they serve the American people. We need open accountability!
We need to cut foreign spending, audit the Fed and pass single budgets for agencies. Drain the swamp!
Protecting the Unborn
Get the American taxpayer out of funding the abortion industry. No public dollars for abortion!
It details how Congress get's rich off the American taxpayer and how we can stop it.
