- Veteran Care, as there are far too many veterans that are not being taken care of or given the respect they so deserve. So many of them have sacrificed so we can live in freedom and have the rights and privilege's that we take for granted. To see a veteran living in the street to be shunned and ridiculed or to be subject to the horror of the VA hospitals and the horrendous treatment. I will fight for our veterans because the veterans of our military have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy.
- Smaller Government because countries with small governments are far more productive and efficient. Smaller government yields better economic performance. Nations with small governments achieve better outcomes.
- 1st Amendment, I support 1A because without freedom of thought we are nothing more than a shell of a person. We as humans need to think for ourselves and have the ability to speak up for ourselves as it is in our nature
