Get StartedAlthough there’s potential to thrive and produce quality meat and produce, many rules and regulations limit these opportunities excessively. Ensuring safety is crucial, but we need more focus on producing goods locally to boost the economy, create jobs, and reduce our dependence on shipping goods from the mainland. Learn more
I strongly believe in equality, including for the LGBTQ community. However, I have concerns about the promotion of LGBTQ values in schools. It’s important that we don’t inadvertently influence our children into making lifestyle choices. While individuals have the right to choose their path, we should be mindful not to directly target our youth with overt marketing efforts that may influence their decisions. I support the freedom for people to live as they choose, but we should ensure equality does not inadvertently pressure or influence our youth. Learn more

Implementing alternative education options, such as trade schools and hands-on learning programs, can effectively cater to individuals who thrive outside the traditional classroom setting. By expanding these opportunities, we directly address diverse learning styles and preferences, equipping students with practical skills and trades valuable in the workforce. This approach not only enhances individual career prospects but also addresses labor market needs, contributing to a more skilled and versatile workforce. We need to prioritize education by expanding trade school opportunities. Many people are losing basic life skills, and we need to encourage more individuals to learn practical skills beyond computer-based knowledge. Programs like Job Corps and Youth Challenge provide alternative methods to traditional education. Trade schools should not only focus on laborious jobs like carpentry and landscaping but also offer a wide range of essential skills. It’s important to keep these programs thriving in our society instead of outsourcing jobs overseas and to support participants in finding jobs after completing these programs. Learn more

The black market makes it easy to acquire anything, so why make it harder for those following the law? Learn more
I propose a mandatory 5-year residency requirement for newly built houses or higher taxes and fees for property flippers, especially those without roots here. We need affordable housing for hardworking families struggling to make ends meet. Learn more
The welfare system needs changes. While I fully support aiding those in need, I strongly oppose misuse of the system. A practical step would be putting names on welfare cards and conducting ID checks to reduce misuse. Benefits are crucial for many people, and if someone improves their situation with welfare, we shouldn’t take that support away, leaving them trapped in a cycle of working for nothing. Learn more
