Agriculture and Food
Issue Position
Joshua Loyd stands behind our farmers. As a National leader, Illinois ranks #1 in Soy production, #2 in Corn, and #4 in Swine. Illinois agriculture supports over 482,000 Jobs.

As a result, Joshua Loyd believes there should be less legislative burden on farmers and greater access to agricultural resources. Some examples include:

-Supply chain resources

-Flood Protections

-Easier H-2A access

-Wellness Resources

-Access to training

Defense
Issue Position
As a veteran, Joshua Loyd proudly supports our men and women in uniform. He believes our military is a fundamental core component of our democracy and freedom that we enjoy every single day.

With the United States nearing a war that could be a near-peer competition, Joshua Loyd believes we must maintain a strong and capable military. Further, Joshua Loyd wants to ensure military spending is happening appropriately and that proper military standards and training processes are occurring without mismanagement.

Economy
Issue Position
YOU should not feel the burden of wasteful government spending.
The US is over $31 trillion in debt. That is astronomical! Have you ever thought of where that money goes? Joshua Loyd is adamant about reducing wasteful spending and creating an accountability mechanism to ensure Federal funds are spent resourcefully.
Teachers should not feel the burden of wasteful government spending.
Farmers should not feel the burden of wasteful government spending.

Education
Issue Position
One-third of all American employers say they can't find the right workers because of the lack of applicants with the right skills. This has become known as the 'Skills Gap'. Joshua Loyd is a strong believer in Career and Technical Education (CTE) at the high school and post-secondary educational levels. Joshua Loyd has also served numerous roles advocating for Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) funding at the federal level.

By increasing access to CTE we are not only helping fund critically needed skilled labor, but we are helping reduce the overall amount of educational debt the US incurs each year.

Environment
Issue Position
One of the greatest gifts given to us Americans is our precious landscapes, including the beautiful and majestic national parks. Our nation has a duty to protect and ensure the longevity of the natural environment and its resources, and Joshua Loyd will work to enforce this.

As you may know, the United States is home to some awe-inspiring landscapes and natural environments such as the Rocky Mountains, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Acadia. 
These national treasures are not only majestic in beauty and resource, but they provide numerous benefits to both humans and wildlife.

That is why it is so important that we work to preserve and protect these vital resources for future generations.
I am not opposed to resource extraction, only the pollution and derangement of the area once finished. I hope we can all agree that conservation is a crucial step in the process of land management.

Guns
Issue Position
The Second Amendment was written by patriots who fought off a tyrannical government to ensure the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Joshua Loyd is a supporter of the Second Amendment.

The Problem is not guns. The issue of many gun-related problems stems from mental health, gang violence, and self-inflicted incidents.

On average, there are roughly 270 guns for every square mile in the United States.

If you oppose guns, your concern is understandable, and it's completely understandable to be worried. Guns are instruments and can be dangerous; they should be handled with the utmost precaution, but just remember 800K Rwandans, 2 million Cambodians, 300K Ugandans, 100-200K Guatemalans, and 20-35 million Chinese [...] were brutally murdered after Gun Control legislation.

Senior Citizens
Issue Position
Millions of Americans rely on Social Security and Medicare. Unfortunately, the Federal government's Social Security program is expected to collapse within the next 2 decades (2035). Joshua Loyd supports work on protecting the Americans who rely on Social Security and Medicare without privatizing the system. 

Congress needs to take a good look at Social Security because the working generation should not have to worry about paying into a system that might not be there when they are ready to retire.
