Issues and Positions

The Economy (The American Prosperity Plan)
Proposes a “Modern Debt Jubilee” to relieve crushing private debt and the issuance of debt-free currency (similar to Lincoln-era “Greenbacks”) to eliminate federal debt. The goal is to curb stagflation, re-energize Main Street spending, and return to high economic growth.

Stopping Endless Wars (The Grand Bargain)
Advocates ending foreign military entanglements and foreign aid dependence, steering away from conflict in Iran, and promoting a balanced Middle East policy—including support for a Two-State Solution—to achieve peace through economic strength.

Education Reform
Focuses on teaching critical thinking, unfiltered economic history, and primary sources rather than modern rote models. Mandates formal debate for grades 9–12 to build well-rounded, independent thinkers.

Constitutional Integrity
Pledges strict adherence to his oath of office, promising to preserve the Constitution without exception—specifically emphasizing strong support for the Second Amendment and preventing government overreach.

Immigration
Supports ending sanctuary cities, enforcing federal immigration laws, and securing borders. Connects immigration enforcement directly to economic health, arguing that a thriving economy under his plan is required to properly fund border security.

Government Reform and Civic Pivot (“Time to Pivot”)
Proposes establishing citizen-led study groups and bringing hundreds of everyday constituents into policy discussions to ensure grassroots representation and launch a new era of civic involvement in Washington.
