National security is the most critical issue facing our country. In the face of potential conflict with China, we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel in our military. As the Chinese surpass us in force numbers, our leaders continue to focus on diversity. I support a reconstitution and re-focusing of our military. It begins with de-politicization of the defense structure, followed by a rebuilding based solely on the tenets of strategic dominance and warfighting.

Our economy is on the verge of being surpassed by China's. I am an unapologetic capitalist, firmly opposed to communism, socialism, or any variant thereof. The cost of living is out of control due to unlimited spending on radical agendas. I feel it myself every day, with two kids in college and one in high school. It needs to stop. I support free-market economics with limited government interference. I support lower taxes and responsible spending. We need to stop the policies that drive inflation and make our lives too expensive.
