What do you think the root causes of inflation in 2022 are and what further steps can Congress take?

Joe Biden’s failed economic policies. Our economy was prospering before COVID and Joe Biden campaigned that he would get it back on track. COVID is in the rear view mirror as and economy killer. The COVID excuse does not work anymore. Nothing has gotten better under Biden’s regime but steadily gotten worse.

Would you support either a national abortion ban or codifying Roe v. Wade? Why?

Abortion is a state issue. Nothing should be done at the national level.

Should the U.S. intervene militarily if Taiwan is invaded by China? Why or why not?

Unless there is a direct threat to US interests, military intervention is not prudent.

What do you see as the biggest threat to American stability?

Americans nationwide face an immediate crisis with the rising cost of living. The dent in our constituents’ wallets should be treated with utmost concern, and the immediate focus of anyone in government should be tackling our country’s most pressing issue, the failed Biden economic agenda.

Tell us your biggest, boldest idea for a bill you’d introduce in Congress if elected/reelected.

I would introduce a bill to put a freeze on all immigration until our immigration laws are fixed and our borders secured. Right now, every state is a border state. Fentanyl is flowing over the borders and ending up in every community, including ours here in Charlotte.
