By advocating for balanced budgets, lower taxes, and the reduction of government spending, we create a financial framework that encourages businesses to invest, innovate, and expand. This isn’t just about numbers on a balance sheet; it’s about setting the stage for entrepreneurs and established businesses alike to thrive without being bogged down by financial burdens.

Steve ardently believes that the Second Amendment is a cornerstone of American freedom, symbolizing the right of individuals to protect themselves, their families, and their properties. This belief is rooted in the understanding that law-abiding citizens should not be unduly hindered by excessive regulations when exercising their right to own and carry firearms for self-defense, hunting, and recreational shooting. Recognizing the importance of this constitutional right, Steve steadfastly opposes any legislative or regulatory attempts that aim to undermine or weaken it. He views such efforts as not only an infringement on personal freedoms but also as a misstep in addressing the broader issues of public safety and crime. Instead, Steve advocates for a balanced approach that respects the rights of responsible gun owners while addressing the concerns of community safety. Learn more
Securing our borders is a multifaceted endeavor with implications that extend far beyond the immediate areas of enforcement. It’s about protecting American workers from unfair competition by ensuring that employment opportunities are preserved for those who have entered the country through legal channels.

A secure border fosters a controlled, orderly immigration process, enabling us to welcome individuals who seek to contribute positively to our society. In essence, a balanced, comprehensive approach to border security is not just about fortifying our borders; it’s about affirming our commitment to the rule of law, economic prosperity, and the humanitarian principles upon which our nation was built.
