Economic Progress
America is in the middle of an economic crisis. Unsustainable government spending and burdensome regulations have driven up inflation and resulted in high food, energy, and housing costs — limiting the economic progress of nearly every American. That’s why we’re working to reduce wasteful spending, unleash energy abundance, and empower workers to prove prosperity is still possible and together we can reignite the American Dream.
Priorities
- Ending Washington’s wasteful spending through unified budgets and other responsible fiscal practices.

- Repealing the regulations that keep businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities from moving forward.
