Small Business As a leader of the Small Business Committee, I have led the fight for policies to help Idaho businesses grow and eliminate stifling regulations. As a conservative, I know that the best way to create jobs is by allowing Idahoans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Defense The United States Armed Forces are, and must remain, the strongest in the world. A rising and aggressive China and a resurgent Russia make credible deterrence even more of a national imperative. We do not seek conflict, but the US will protect American lives and our vital national security interests.

Immigration We must protect our borders. Without border security, we have no national security. I support the President's efforts to stem the tide of illegal immigration and ensure only those who come here legally are welcomed into America.

Health Care The costs of health care and prescription drugs are out of control. I will stand up for Idaho families' access to affordable, quality care.

Debt The government spends beyond its means, leaving a crushing financial burden to future generations. We must reduce spending and balance the federal budget like we do in Idaho.
