Defend Constitutional Rights and Religious Liberties
I will never support the Federal Government taking power further away from We the People. From our Second Amendment rights, to the education of our children, to our right to worship as we choose, our liberties must be protected from those who would use power to tell us what to believe and how to educate our children.
I believe that every human being has an inalienable right to life. I am proudly pro-life, and I’ve introduced legislation to protect unborn babies with a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis. I’ve also worked to defund Planned Parenthood and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used for abortions – a common sense stance shared by a majority of Americans.
Economic Growth
Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve worked on advancing legislation that puts more money in Kansans’ pockets and encourages growth. As an engineer in the private sector, working in the aerospace industry, and as the former Sedgwick County and Kansas State Treasurer, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to create jobs and the problems that occur when government gets in the way. I am committed to fighting to roll back the burdensome regulations and out-of-control spending that keep the economy from reaching its full potential. I will work for common sense solutions that prioritize the American people over government red tape.
Growing up on my family’s farm that has been in operation for over 100 years, I’ve seen firsthand the effects of onerous government regulations on farmers. I have fought the intrusive arm of the EPA and other agencies. I will support free and fair trade so that Kansas farmers can continue to feed the world. I will work to put an end to burdensome tax policies that harm our family farms.
National Security
Protecting the country is the most critical role our federal government plays, and it’s one I take very seriously. I’m so proud to represent the men and women of McConnell Air Force Base. Each day, these courageous patriots from across the country are defending our freedoms and protecting our citizens in a dangerous world. I’ve worked to secure more tankers for McConnell and supported pay raises for our troops. I’ve also had a focus on constituent services in my Wichita office to help our veterans who deserve our respect and support.
When it comes to protecting the United States, our nation is under attack on multiple fronts. After four years of the failed Biden administration border, Republicans in Congress have stepped up to secure the border, reduce illegal crossings, and deport the worst of the worst. Our policies are clearly working, but the contrast is stark – Democrats tried to convince the American people for four years that the border was secure when it clearly wasn’t. Given the opportunity, they would take us right back to an unsafe border with millions of illegal criminals coming into our country.
Beyond our borders, we have crises overseas. The Democrats’ botched Afghanistan withdrawal and foreign policy weakness allowed Russia to invade Ukraine and Hamas to attack Israel. Not only that, but for 47 years, Iran has chanted “Death to America” while being the largest sponsor of terrorism and directly and indirectly killing Americans. President after president has warned about the dangers of a nuclear Iran, but now we are on the path to eliminating the threat and providing an opportunity for stability and peace in the Middle East. These conflicts abroad are consequential to our safety here at home, and Congress has worked to support our men and women in uniform so that we can end the conflicts that started under the previous administration and continue moving toward greater peace.
Health Care
Too many politicians want to use health care as a political talking point, but they aren’t interested in real solutions.
Health care is more than just affordable access to health care – it’s about making our country healthy. I’ve supported the efforts to Make America Healthy Again. So many parents in Kansas have worked to remove artificial dyes and additives from their diet and are taking steps to provide healthier options for their families. They have fought against Washington bureaucrats who have allowed the status quo to dictate health policy for our nation. Not anymore – families have allies in our nation’s capital who want to join them to Make America Healthy Again.
Last year, I was also pleased to support the Working Families Tax Cuts that includes $50 billion for rural health care. The legislation thankfully passed, but every Democrat voted against this critical funding for rural health care. Kansas will see $222 million of this funding – critical funding following 16 years of rising premiums and less affordability. Instead of addressing the real problems with health care costs, Democrats have tried to mask it by covering over high prices with expensive subsidies that reward the insurance companies and punish patients. I’ve cosponsored legislation to provide transparency to health care and ensure families and individuals in the 4th District are the primary voice in making their health care decisions.
Changing the Culture of Washington
Unelected bureaucracies in Washington have far too much control in our lives. Agencies like the EPA inflict unnecessary burdens on Kansans through massive, overreaching regulations. That’s why I’ve strongly supported policies that limit the federal government, roll back unnecessary regulations and give more power to Kansans and their local governments. In order to really change Washington, we have to remove power from those sitting in cubicles handing down rules and regulations more than a thousand miles away.
Taxes
Individuals in the private sector grow the economy, not the government. That’s why I’ve been a major proponent of lower taxes for everyday Kansans. In 2017, we passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, major legislation that lowered taxes for nearly every American. Even The New York Times admitted that most Americans received a tax cut despite repeated false claims from the media and the left. In 2025, Republicans continued to deliver for Kansans, making the most meaningful elements of TCJA permanent, expanding the Child Tax Credit, increasing the standard deduction, eliminating taxes on overtime and tips, and implementing a senior tax deduction that essentially covers Social Security taxes for 88% of Americans.
While big-government politicians look at ways to pad the coffers of the U.S. Treasury, I will continue fighting for you to keep more of your hard-earned money. You – not Washington – are the best person to spend and invest your money.
2nd Amendment
The 2nd Amendment is a cornerstone of our Bill of Rights. I firmly believe that every law-abiding citizen has a right to defend themselves, their family and their property. I will fight against efforts in Washington to take away these rights. I am a proud NRA member, and as your Congressman, I will continue supporting the rights of gun owners, sportsmen and hunters.
Balanced Budget
Families in the 4th district know they have to balance their budgets. Business owners understand they won’t be in business long without a balanced budget. Even local and state governments have to balance their books. The federal government should not play by a different set of rules. I have supported balanced budget amendments that will force the federal government to get its financial house in order. I’ve even proposed a simple 1% accross-the-board spending reduction – while protecting our Armed Services – yet every Democrat voted against it.

Defend Constitutional Rights and Religious Liberties
The 4th district has felt the pain inflicted by the Obama administration on our economy. Manufacturing jobs have disappeared and millions of Americans and many Kansans have left the labor force. As an engineer in the private sector, working in the aerospace industry and as former Sedgwick County Treasurer, I have seen firsthand what it takes to create jobs and the problems that occur when government gets in the way. I am committed to fighting to roll back the burdensome regulations and out of control spending that keep the economy from reaching its full potential. I will work for common-sense solutions that prioritize the American people over government red tape.

National Security
ISIS and Iran have been emboldened by the disastrous foreign policies of President Obama. Those who wish to do us harm have grown stronger as the Middle East continues to unravel. For the past eight years, the Obama administration has turned its back on our strongest ally in the region, Israel. The United States must play a leadership role in taking the fight to ISIS and exit the disastrous Iran deal. In addition, we must have better safeguards in place to prevent radical Islamic terrorists from gaining entry to our nation.
For decades, Washington insiders have ignored the realities on our Southern border. This is unacceptable. The American people are not safe when we do not know who is entering and leaving our country. Securing the border must be our first priority. Our immigration process must deter criminals and terrorists from entering illegally while providing a fair, efficient process for law abiding individuals wishing to pursue the American dream.
Health Care
The insiders run too much in Washington. One of the biggest problems in Washington is the revolving door between Congress and the lobbying industry. Congressional votes should be based on the best interests of their districts and the nation, not on lining up a high paying lobbyist job. I support legislation that would prevent a former member of Congress from working as a lobbyist for five years following the completion of their term. This five-year ban would help shut the revolving door and lessen the influence of special interests in Washington. Also, I oppose special perks for members of Congress, which is why I support legislation that would require Congress to live by the same rules as the American people.
