A healthy economy depends on stable energy, a reliable workforce, and policies that encourage growth rather than restrict it. Rising costs for food, housing, fuel, and utilities have made it harder for families to get ahead.

​

Economic policy should focus on removing barriers to job creation, supporting domestic energy production, and allowing markets to function without excessive federal interference. Government decisions should be evaluated based on whether they lower costs, increase opportunity, and strengthen long-term economic resilience.

​

A strong economy is not built through mandates and subsidies, but through predictable rules, responsible spending, and policies that allow businesses and workers to succeed.

The federal tax system is overly complex and places an unnecessary burden on working families and small businesses. Before raising taxes, the federal government should address waste, inefficiency, and duplication across agencies and programs.​Lower and simpler taxes allow individuals to keep more of what they earn and enable businesses to reinvest in growth, wages, and job creation. Tax policy should reward work, savings, and investment—not penalize them.

​

Fiscal responsibility requires spending discipline, transparency, and accountability. Government should operate within its means, just as families and businesses are expected to do.

With nearly 30 years of experience as a police officer, Herb understands the daily realities faced by law enforcement and first responders. Public safety policy should support law enforcement officers who act within the law, while holding individuals accountable for criminal behavior. Violent crime must be addressed through enforcement and prosecution, not policy experimentation. 

 

Protecting communities requires policies that are realistic, enforceable, and rooted in experience—not theory.

The federal government has a responsibility to enforce immigration laws and secure the nation’s borders. A system that fails to do so undermines the rule of law, strains public resources, and creates safety concerns.

​

Legal immigration should be encouraged for those who follow the law, contribute to the economy, and seek to become part of American civic life. Policies that discourage enforcement or grant special treatment outside the legal process create incentives for illegal entry and weaken public confidence.

Immigration policy must balance compassion with enforcement, ensuring fairness while maintaining national sovereignty and public safety.

The Constitution establishes a system of limited government and protects individual rights from government overreach. These protections are fundamental to a free society and must be upheld regardless of political pressure or changing political trends.

​

Core constitutional rights—including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the Second Amendment—are not privileges granted by government. The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional protection that should not be eroded through excessive regulation that targets law-abiding citizens rather than criminal behavior.

​

The separation of powers and federalism exist to prevent the concentration of authority and to preserve accountability. Public officials swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, and federal policy should respect constitutional limits, protect civil liberties, and ensure government remains accountable to the people it serves.
