Priorities

Americans are paying the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. These prices are a burden on many families here in North Dakota. People in need of medication should not be forced to choose between their health and putting food on the table for their families. 

Prescription drug prices

Protect women’s freedom to make

their own healthcare decisions

As long as we do not have full say on our personal medical decision, we do not have full liberty. The government should not intrude into our personal decisions as patients.

Tax fairness

Profitable corporations and the ultra wealthy need to be paying their fair share. The hard work of regular North Dakotans creates the capital, they should not be alone in carrying the tax burden.

House Republicans are working to raise the age of retirement for our seniors who have worked their whole lives, rather than raise taxes on their ultra wealthy donors. As a Marine, I have always put my country first. In Congress, I will put the seniors of North Dakota first and protect their benefits. 

Defending Social Security

Our rural communities have faced closures that create long commutes for school, work, and medical care. We need support for, rather than attacks on, the public schools that are a source of pride and the hub of activity for our small towns.

Support rural communities

Protect democracy

Democracy only works with trust in the system. The People’s House needs to be about good policy and not posturing for personal gain. 

“North Dakotans have had enough of government for the privileged, by the privileged.

I’m running to represent regular North Dakotans and to bring working class values back to Congress again.”
