Many places, including Charlotte, are struggling because some believe the government should provide different types of justice for different people. In September, a man released for at least the 14th time killed Iryna Zarutska, a tragedy that could have been avoided if Charlotte’s justice system upheld equal justice under the law. Unequal justice also allows for government overreach in the economy.

A free society requires that everyone be treated equally under the law. Past injustices cannot justify special treatment or collective punishment today. Equality under the law is non-negotiable: one law for everyone, no political favorites, and no double standards.

Implementing equal justice will make Charlotte and our country safer, preserve our freedoms, and ensure the government operates as the Constitution intended, by controlling every aspect of life.

The role of the government per the Preamble to the Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, do ordain and establish this Constitution."

Voting is our best way to influence our system, and since freedom is in the best interest of the people, it’s essential that voting is both accessible and secure. Currently, there are not enough precautions in place to prevent voter fraud.

America’s federal election system must mandate voter ID and paper ballots at the federal level to ensure honest elections. Additionally, to improve accessibility, Election Day should be designated as a federal holiday. With these implementations, we will have greater confidence in our election system, protecting our most vital means of ensuring a free society.

As a federal representative, I will advocate for reforms that protect private property. When we do, we will take a significant step toward a society where people enjoy greater housing security.

Too many voters feel stuck with limited choices on Election Day. A better approach is a majority-runoff system (used in many countries) where all candidates compete, a majority vote wins, or the top two move to a runoff. I support this for federal elections, while keeping the Electoral College for President. The result will be leaders who better represent the people.

Our elections should be decided by Americans, not influenced by foreign-aligned interests. Yet in 2024, groups aligned with Israel, including AIPAC, spent over $100 million, far exceeding comparable groups aligned with other countries.

AIPAC and other domestic groups advocating for foreign-aligned policies must register as foreign agents, which would bar their participation in elections and ensure greater transparency around their contributions. By implementing these changes, we can have greater confidence that our elected officials are serving us.

You didn’t buy your phone to be tracked, but that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s wrong. Unchecked digital surveillance undermines the 4th Amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable searches, whether conducted by the government or private companies. 

Users should have the ability to opt out of sharing their personal information to access digital services. Free speech is also at stake. While the 1st Amendment protects Americans from government censorship, much of our public discourse now takes place on digital platforms. I support legislation that requires transparency in algorithms, including the ability for users to view content chronologically, as well as criminalize collusion between government and private companies that share information with the government without a warrant. These reforms would protect our rights in the digital age.

Our government does not always act with America’s best interests in mind. We deserve greater transparency from our government, including the declassification of relevant government documents. & America must prioritize its interests by supporting countries that share our values and standing firm against those that do not. Congress should authorize military action, except in urgent situations requiring immediate executive response. By adhering to these principles, we can strengthen our country.

While trade typically makes us wealthier, unfettered trade can create dangerous dependence on other countries and jeopardize national security. Therefore, America should prioritize a baseline of self-sufficiency, trade surplus goods, and exercise caution when dealing with essential goods and services. To achieve this, we need to bring back domestic production to ensure our freedom and prosperity. I believe that returning to sound money and embracing a free-market capitalist economy will address these issues.

By implementing these measures, we can strengthen our national security, promote economic independence, and create a more resilient economy that supports American workers and industries.

Our current immigration system fails to promote assimilation, which is essential for the longevity of our nation. We must limit work visas and effectively address illegal immigration. While immigrants are welcome to celebrate their heritage, living in America means embracing our values and identity. Delaying action allows an unassimilated population to continue to grow, risking permanent changes to our nation without our consent.

We need a structured, enforceable approach to illegal immigration that focuses on removing violent offenders and those exploiting government programs, while establishing clear expectations for assimilation for those who remain. By taking these actions, we can foster greater pride in being American and ensure our nation remains true to its core, founding values rooted in two truths: that all people have inherent value & that all people are flawed.

Many people know that the 2nd Amendment is for self-defense or hunting but it also gives the right to overthrow the government. Therefore, allowing gun ownership to the vast majority of people is essential. States should not create burdensome legal hurdles just to carry a firearm. Ensuring the right to bear arms will empower citizens to defend themselves and uphold their freedoms against tyranny.
