Issues

Montana represents the best of what we as a family believe in: God, liberty and a fundamental right to living our lives without the pressing hand of an intrusive government. Unfortunately, Washington has failed us. Career politicians from both parties continue to waste our money, spy on our families, and dictate our daily lives. Common sense representation and unselfish leadership is in short supply. That is why I am running for Congress and would be honored to have your support.

Please continue reading below to get an understanding how I would serve you on the issues facing our country today.

Holding the Obama Administration Accountable

Through ObamaCare the federal government has taken over one-sixth of our economy and control of our health care decisions and the relationships with our own doctors. We must repeal this law and return the rights to Montana families so that they are free to make decisions about their health care. I will support all efforts to defund, repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Unfortunately, ObamaCare isn't the only abuse from the Obama Administration. Our government must stop using our resources to spy on our own citizens. The use of NSA eavesdropping program and unmanned drones is unconstitutional. The constant attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights are destroying a principle right in our Constitution. Additionally, the abuse of power for political gain at the IRS must be stopped. It is time for congress to hold this Administration's feet to the fire and force the Obama Administration to live within the rule of law.

Economic Growth

Government does not create jobs. But government has done a lot to get in the way of families and business creating the jobs we need to get our economy growing again. We must review all federal regulations and determine the economic impact they have on job creation. Most of these are duplicative and are much more effectively handled at the state level. By repealing unnecessary red tape and regulations, small business will be free to hire people across Montana. As your Congressman, I will fight to roll back the intrusive overreach of unelected federal bureaucrats at the IRS, EPA, DOJ and any other agency passing rules without Congressional.

Cutting Spending

Congress needs to stop spending money we don't have. Every day Montana families have to make tough choices with their budgets. As the only candidate in the race who has a record of cutting spending in the Montana budget, you can count on my record as evidence that I will fight to restore fiscal conservative leadership and balance the budget.

Protecting Private Property

Federal mandates imposed on us by the Endangered Species Act are destroying our industries and denying Montanans the use and access of our public lands. I am the only Republican candidate with a consistent and proven record of defending private property rights for Montanans. In Congress, I will fight to not only place control and management of our public lands in Montana's hands once again, but I will always defend our personal property from the government.

Defending Montana Values

I support life at all stages, traditional marriage and believe that the moral degradation of our society through government intervention is a blatant attack on our future. I will always support legislation that restores America's traditional values.
