Issue Position
Public Safety and Crime As a local councilman, I work closely with our police officers and first responders, and I have seen firsthand how essential they are to keeping our neighborhoods safe and our communities strong.

In Congress, I will support fully funding law enforcement and I will oppose any effort to defund or weaken the police.

Our officers deserve the tools, training, and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.
Issue Position
Skip to content Platform Economy and Affordability Too many politicians in Washington talk about affordability while approving massive spending bills that keep driving prices higher.

I believe our economy should reward hard work, strengthen small businesses, and expand opportunity, not be controlled by government micromanagement.
Issue Position
Education As a parent, education is personal.

Every child is different, and every family should have the freedom to choose the school or learning path that fits their child best, not be forced into a one size fits all system dictated from Washington.

In Congress, I will support school choice options that put parents in the driver’s seat, including charter schools, education savings accounts, and policies that let funding follow the student rather than the bureaucracy.

Parents know their children best, and they deserve real options and real transparency.

The federal government’s role in education should be limited and focused.

Washington should stop micromanaging classrooms and instead support states and local communities with flexible funding, reduced waste, and a clear focus on academics like reading, math, science, and critical thinking rather than political agendas.

I support expanding career and technical education, apprenticeships, and skills based training, along with stronger partnerships between schools and local employers so students graduate with real skills that lead to good paying jobs.

Education should empower families, prepare students for life, and strengthen our country by expanding opportunity, not expanding federal control.
Issue Position
When energy costs come down, so does the price of nearly everything else, including transportation, utilities, and the goods we rely on every day.
Issue Position
That means cutting red tape so employers can grow and hire, expanding access to capital for entrepreneurs, standing up for workers, and restoring American energy independence instead of relying on foreign sources while families here struggle to keep up.My priority in Washington will be to advance responsible fiscal policies that reduce unnecessary taxes, encourage growth, and protect affordability and opportunity for every American.
Issue Position
Pledges to District 12 Restoring Fiscal Responsibility by eliminating wasteful federal programs that fail taxpayers and refocusing spending on initiatives that deliver real, measurable results.

Fighting for New Jersey to get its fair share of federal resources, recognizing the state’s dense population, aging infrastructure, and unique needs that too often get shortchanged in Washington.
Issue Position
Healthcare Healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and centered on patients and doctors, not dictated by Washington bureaucrats.

We can lower costs and expand access by increasing competition, transparency, and choice.

We should protect people with pre existing conditions while fixing what is broken in the system.

That means strengthening Health Savings Accounts, expanding flexible coverage options, allowing insurance to be sold across state lines, and reducing regulations that drive up premiums for families and small businesses.
Issue Position
In Congress, I will oppose bloated spending packages and unnecessary bureaucratic expansions that fuel inflation and make the cost of living worse.
Issue Position
Public safety is the foundation of opportunity and quality of life.

When law enforcement is strong and supported, communities are safer, businesses can grow, and families can thrive.
Issue Position
I support President Trump’s efforts to cut taxes for working families, reduce burdensome taxation, and expand American energy production.
