Taking back our schools has got to be a priority. My HOPE Bill would create a national school choice voucher system where the federal funds follow the students. We need to get the teachers unions out of dictating curriculum and school policy for students and back to teacher contracts and legal representation. The American educational systems need to be focused more on skilled trades and less on sending kids to University and teachers need to be free to use the best teaching methods available to them. America should have the highest educational standards in the world.
An overwhelming majority of Americans think that some kind of citizenship verification should be in place for national elections. Making sure that only American citizens are voting is not controversial. I have provided a clear path to passing the SAVE Act by simply covering the cost of the required documentation to comply with the SAVE Act for people who cannot afford it. That ties it directly to the budget and conforms with the Byrd rule. American’s faith in elections must be restored and the Senate needs to get this bill passed into law. We must work to pass the SAVE Act and then codify presidents Trumps EO on the USPS into federal law.
Decades of mismanagement have created a situation where Social Security will soon be insolvent. Raising taxes on payroll won't solve the problem either. This entire program needs to be overhauled. In 2026 Social Security should operate more as a retirement program for working class Americans rather than welfare for the mentally ill and disabled. The funds should be sealed and invested, and you should only be able to collect if your spouse or parents paid in to the program. We have a scenario where 181 million Americans have SS taken from their paychecks with only around 70 million collecting yet the program is still almost to insolvency. This is a mismanagement problem.
Only biological females should be able to play in sports. Allowing biological males, who have transitioned or not, endangers female athletes and creates an unfair playing field. I played in team sports my entire life. Playing in sports and performing at a high level alone can be dangerous and allowing men to compete with girls only makes it even more dangerous. Then there is the emotional and mental trauma. Hearing Riley Gaines speak about what happened to her, how she was treated, and what she was subjected to in the locker room was disturbing and eye opening. Something like this should never be allowed to happen again. We must protect women and girls in organized sports.
Much of what I have been calling for over the last 2 years, has already been accomplished: Declaring the cartels terrorist organizations, declaring fentanyl a biological weapon, and using military force against the cartels. There is still much to be done to enact lasting change. We must finish the border wall, make crossing the border a felony, and require proof of asylum at the border.
Federal funding for animal adoptions, rescue, veterinary services, and a dedicated criminal unit to crack down on animal traffickers, dog fighting rings, and puppy mills. I am proposing that we cut funding from other areas like the cruel and inhumane experiments Fauci funded during his reign of terror and use that money to save animals instead of hurt them. Doing this would require an audit to identify cuts.
America must be energy secure and independent. The Trump administration has done great work in securing global trade routes. Trump has turned America into the worlds leading exporter of energy. We have secured new deals with Venezuela and the UAE while at the same time weakening OPEC. We must start turning away from renewable energy where it isn't a good fit and lower regulations making it easier to increase production domestically.
We need to be more selective about who we let into our country. I support removing eligibility for undocumented immigrants to receive social services, revoking the ability for nations to be granted TPS, and not allowing immigration from dangerous and unstable 3rd world nations. We need to ask ourselves what benefit it provides to America when we bring in millions of uneducated, unskilled, poor people from unstable 3rd world nations?
I have been adamant that I support term limits and have made the commitment that I will only serving two terms in the US Senate.
