Get StartedAny argument to prevent an abortion for any reason before this point or to allow an abortion for any reason other than saving the life of the mother after this point is based in religious beliefs and in violation of the 1st amendment’s prohibition of the government establishing a religion.

We need Senators that understand that abortion laws need to based on science and compassion, not religion. Learn more
We have seen significant violations of the 1st amendment directly or by coercion of the government over the past five years. Everything from establishing religion (Environmentalism, Social justice “initiatives”, etc.) by the government, attacks on private individuals rights to their own religious beliefs, restricting free speech either by legislating approved speech, conspiring with social media to block speech that is disagreeable and even prosecuting citizens for trying to exercise their right to peaceably petition the government for a redress of grievances.

As Senator, nothing will be more important than upholding individual rights to include not allowing major social media and internet companies to continue to hide behind their status as private companies to continue blocking lawful speech that they disagree with. Learn more

Term limits. I do not believe that an elected official can make the difficult decisions needed for the country while at the same time trying to convince those they represent to reelect them. I also do not believe that future generations should be forced to live under laws made by the previous generations. If elected, I will only serve one term in the US Senate. Learn more
Simplify Candidacy laws for Small Dollar Campaign Common Citizens to run for office. This process has shown me just how complicated (and thereby how expensive) our government has made it for a non-politician to run for office to serve his fellow citizens. There can be little wonder why special interest groups and their money now control our elected officials. Learn more

Vice President, one 4 year term, eligible to run for President immediately, Must wait 2 years to run for a different office. Supreme Court Justices, one 25 year term. Laws passed by congress expire 25 years from passage. Learn more
I propose a constitutional amendment that: The Supreme Court will be made up of one Justice representing and chosen from each of the Circuit courts. Removes nominations to the Supreme Court from the President and transfers that responsibility to the circuit courts presenting a slate of candidates for the Senate to consider. Learn more
The 2nd amendment was not written to allow people to carry guns or have guns for personal protection or hunting. Learn more
The 2nd amendment is entirely about the people being able to be a check against the same type of tyrannical government that the founders had just fought to be free from. Our current president has made clear that we already have too many gun laws on the books to stop him from using the military against the people if he so desires. We need “common sense” gun laws that return the power to remain free to the people. Learn more
I will not vote for legislation allowing the Federal Government to spy on you without due cause and an appropriate warrant. Learn more
