Get StartedWe need a balanced approach to criminal justice. The radical left is apologetic toward criminals, and supports policies – like defunding the police – that make our communities less safe. On the far right, there is no understanding of the role societal factors play in criminal behavior. We need an approach that melds accountability with treatment. Many companies exist solely to give criminals meaningful jobs and an off-ramp from the cycle of crime and punishment. We need more private industry entrepreneurs to play a role in giving former criminals a path to productive civic participation and financial independence. Learn more
Right now, too many businesses are struggling under the weight of inflation, rising debt, unpredictable regulations, and tariffs. We need policies that encourage entrepreneurship, investment, innovation, and job creation here in America. I also support workforce training and apprenticeship programs developed in partnership with private industry to help displaced workers gain the skills to succeed in a changing economy. Learn more
Schools should focus on teaching students how to think instead of pushing politicized ideological agendas. More decisions should be made locally, not dictated by bureaucrats in Washington. Our goal should be to develop informed, well-rounded citizens who learn how to evaluate competing ideas for themselves. Schools should not be in the business of promoting one agenda over another. Schools should also be responsive to the rapidly changing skills our workers need to succeed. Learn more
I support an all-of-above energy strategy that includes a heavy reliance on nuclear power. Having served on a nuclear submarine, I understand the promise and safety of nuclear technology. I support investing in small modular reactors to fuel our American future – like the ones that power Navy ships. Learn more
I am a gun owner. I believe we can protect people’s Second Amendment rights while protecting our citizens from violence. Law-abiding Americans have a constitutional right to own firearms for personal protection, hunting, sport shooting, and other lawful purposes. I will defend those rights. But weapons of war (assault weapons) are not needed for personal defense or hunting. Colorado has experienced the horror of mass shootings using assault weapons. For a decade during the 1990s and early 2000s, Congress restricted assault weapons, and I believe Congress should revisit that approach. We can protect both freedom and public safety – and Americans are tired of politicians pretending we cannot do both. Learn more
Because I have managed employees and health-care systems across multiple countries, I understand both the opportunities and tradeoffs involved. We need a practical, honest conversation about how to deliver better care at lower cost while preserving the innovation and quality that Americans depend on. Learn more
If we want to build more affordable housing, we need to tame our national deficits, reduce tariffs, welcome immigration labor, and repeal costly regulations. Learn more
Most people agree that we should remove violent criminals and cartel traffickers from the streets to keep our communities safe. At the same time, we should not expend limited government resources pursuing peaceful immigrants who contribute to our economy. Deporting a drug kingpin makes us safer; deporting a local farm hand makes us poorer. Learn more
We need to do four things to tackle deficit spending. First, cut out waste and fraud across the federal government, totaling an estimated half-a-trillion dollars. Second, implement the above plan to reduce the national debt and restore confidence in America’s finances – which will reduce our interest payments and also cascade into lower interest rates for cars, houses and credit cards. Third, enact serious entitlement reform to protect Social Security and Medicare. And fourth, enact fair and responsible tax reform to bring in more revenue from the wealthiest Americans. Learn more
I am committed to working with anyone in Congress who will hold the line on government excess. We need policies that create a stable economic environment where hardworking Americans can save for the future, start businesses, take entrepreneurial risks, buy homes, and plan for their families and future.
