| Collapse all
- Government Spending & Debt: With our national debt over $30 trillion, our spending is a national disgrace. Our debt is a moral failure. Reckless spending today leaves our children and grandchildren holding a crushing tab. Let’s call this problem what it is: generational theft. The debt is also a national security problem. This out-of-control spending has left our country drifting in frightening fiscal waters – our economic hull in questionable condition. Our situation is precarious. Tyler recognizes this problem and will act with a sense of urgency to correct this course. Free markets and economic mobility are the engines of innovation and entrepreneurship. Tyler will passionately support efforts to cut unnecessary spending.
- National Security & Defense: Congress’ paramount responsibility, as outlined by the Constitution, is to provide for the national security of the United States. Tyler Allcorn loves this country and has a proven willingness to risk everything for its defense. As a former Green Beret, he knows what it’s like to say goodbye to his family and deploy to a combat zone, putting his life on the line for our liberty. We need to increase our defense force capabilities and cyber defense to ensure that America’s enemies never reach our shores. As your next Congressman, he will fight to make sure that our men and women in uniform have the resources they need to continue to keep us safe.
- Immigration As an immigrant himself, this issue is personal to Tyler. Tyler’s family is originally from Canada and the oil and gas industry was their ticket to the American Dream. Tyler knows what it’s like to immigrate to a new country and face challenges in a new environment. He loved this country so much he decided to enlist in the US army and become a Green Beret. He also understands that any immigration policy we have must be firmly rooted in law, not a spirit of lawlessness. Immigration policy begins with securing the border, enforcing the law, and tracking visa holders and guest workers. Any aspiring immigrants must go through the proper channels and immigrate the legal way, not cut to the front of the line.
