Education

What, if anything, should our country do to ensure a secure social safety net for all, including access to food, housing, education and medical care? (500 characters)

The absolute best social safety net is a thriving, fair economy that rewards hard work and keeps cost of living low. To ensure genuine access to housing, food, and care, we must remove government-created monopolies and artificial regulatory barriers that drive up prices. True fairness means empowering local communities, charities, and states to design decentralized systems that are directly accountable to the people they serve, rather than relying on inefficient federal systems.

Energy & environment

What, if any, actions would you take to address threats facing the United States due to climate change? (500 characters)

Any approach to environmental stewardship must balance ecological care with economic fairness and constitutional limits. We should focus on clean technological innovation driven by the free market rather than top-down federal mandates that crush local industries. Protecting our natural resources requires transparent, localized conservation efforts and infrastructure resilience, rather than expanding the administrative state through sweeping regulatory overreach that hurts working families.

Jobs, wages & cost of living

What will you do to support a vibrant economy across the United States, and to address inflation? (500 characters)

To support a vibrant economy, we must address how the system itself is structurally designed to keep everyday people distracted and overworked, preventing them from challenging institutional overreach. Inflation is a direct tax on human time and energy. True fairness means halting reckless spending, dismantling predatory compliance traps that drain small businesses, and ensuring an open marketplace where individuals can build wealth without being crushed by bureaucratic exhaustion.

Elections, ethics & government

If elected, what will your top three priorities be and why? (750 characters)

My top three priorities are dismantling administrative overreach, enforcing absolute institutional transparency, and protecting individual sovereignty. First, we must restrict federal power to the strict text of the Constitution. Second, we must stop a weaponized system that uses unlimited public resources to wear regular people down into submission while hiding evidence and denying due process. Third, we must restore systemic fairness by holding corrupt state actors personally accountable. When a system becomes an engine of exhaustion rather than justice, true public servants do not accommodate it—they systematically tear down its unauthorized leverage and restore baseline fairness for every citizen.

What measures do you support to improve and secure elections, and to ensure voting access in our country? (500 characters)

Securing our elections requires a uniform return to clear, fair, and verifiable baseline standards. I support universal voter ID requirements, regular auditing of voter registries, and ensuring all voting mechanisms are completely transparent. True access means every eligible citizen has a clear path to cast their ballot, while strict security safeguards ensure that public trust in our democratic outcomes is never compromised by administrative ambiguity.

How do you view your responsibilities as a congressperson and what will you do to fulfill them? (500 characters)

As a senator, my primary responsibility is to serve as a strict guardian of the U.S. Constitution and a voice for the sovereignty of the people. I will fulfill this by voting against any legislation that exceeds the federal government's enumerated powers, reviewing every bill for clarity and fairness, and maintaining absolute accessibility to my constituents. My duty is to protect your rights, minimize federal interference, and ensure a stable, simple rule of law.

What if anything do you think should be done to reform our federal court system? (500 characters)

We must eliminate absolute prosecutorial immunity to end systemic weaponization. Too often, prosecutors act as catspaws to exact personal revenge against adversaries, a practice that has arguably become common. This directly subverts Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 88, which holds that a prosecutor's primary interest "is not that [they] shall win a case, but that justice shall be done." True reform means holding corrupt state actors personally accountable for administrative overreach, enfo
