Education

Issue Position

Education I value access to quality educational opportunities for all children in America.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

Therefore, I support Parental Rights in Education.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

As stated in MCL 380.10 here in Michigan— “It is the natural, fundamental right of parents and legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and education of their children.” And, “The public schools of this state serve the needs of the pupils by cooperating with the pupil’s parents and legal guardians to develop the pupil’s intellectual capabilities and vocational skills in a safe and positive environment.” Any federal education policy must secure this right nationally.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

I will advocate for the swift reduction and rapid elimination of the Federal Department of Education and the return to full state and local control.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

These dollars are best utilized with local control, not bureaucrats in D.C. Healthcare Our ‘Healthcare’ system has become ‘Sick-care’.

Family and Children

More focus and resources should be available for more holistic approaches and preventative medicine, including mental health.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

This should be done through a free market approach.

Immigration

Issue Position

We need taxation policy that focuses on keeping MORE of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket and LESS going to waste in Washington D.C. Border/Immigration I value National Sovereignty and National Security.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

It is dangerously unacceptable to have unchecked illegal immigration which disguises drug trafficking, human and child trafficking, and terrorists crossing an abandoned border.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

Military Aid

Issue Position

Our Armed Forces should never serve as a social justice or ‘wokeness’ project.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

National Security

Issue Position

This is a National Security issue more important than current wars in Europe.

Source: jameshooperforcongress.com

Taxes

Issue Position

Taxes Taxes on American families and businesses are obscene.
