Criminal Justice / Public Safety

Internet porn is one of the most damaging epidemics which our young people face in increasing numbers. Fight The New Drug is a non-religious movement with bipartisan support which recognizes the massive and lasting damages done by pornography. Like many people born in the 80's and 90's, I was exposed to pornographic material unwillingly at an extremely young age - this population-wide exposure has brought about mental struggles and temptations that no child or teen should ever have to face.

Drug Policy

I fully support the legalization of medical marijuana, as it has been proven to be a safe and reliable treatment for several damaging diseases - including some which have been historically difficult to treat. I believe that the issue of recreational marijuana should be left as a decision for each state to make. By doing so, states who have legalized the drug may be observed and studied. The beauty of comparative competition between states is that it drives each community to be better, safer, and more efficient. Learn more

Economy

The owners of Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, and Twitter represent private businesses and thus they have a right to make their own rules concerning content. However, these platforms must be lawfully required to publicly share their content guidelines and to categorize themselves as biased publishers rather than pure, open source, social media sights.

Education

I support public schooling as an option for all American students, but believe that public education should be treated as an opt-in system. Each family who chooses an alternate source of education (Private,  home,  or online schooling) should be offered special tax exemptions given that their  child regularly passes placement testing. This will drive all sources of academics to perform better and more efficiently. Learn more

Environment / Energy

As a Christian, I believe that humans ought to take care of wildlife and nature, preserving that which we have been entrusted with. However, I will not support the politicization and pseudo-science of global warming meant as a government-driven power grab. Learn more

Foreign Policy

I do not support nation building, particularly in the Middle East. Similarly to illegal immigration, I believe that we waste our time, blood, and money on nation building when our own citizens are not yet adequately provided for. Learn more

Government Reform

I will support term limits for all House and Senate members. Most elected officials allow job security, wealth, and fame to taint their decision making. I stand directly opposed to such ideals. Learn more

Guns

The second amendment was not written to ensure that Americans can always hunt. The second amendment was not written so that US citizens could shoot robbers. It was written because the founders knew that as exceptional as America was, it could some day become just another tyranny-dominated society. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

The only fair tax is a flat tax, not a progressive tax. As someone who grew up in a lower-middle-class home, I am well acquainted with the struggles of middle class living. However, personal struggles do not give me or anyone else the right to demand that others to give more than we are willing to give. Progressive tax rates discourage business growth and encourage mediocrity in our economy. Furthermore, progressive tax rates drive businesses to plant their roots in other countries and regions around the world. Learn more
