Issues

Here are some of our key priorities for serving the common good:

1. Common sense reforms

Outdated rules prevent innovation. Arbitrary barriers stop voluntary improvements. Red tape hurts small producers while protecting incumbents. Common-sense reforms can unleash American innovation while cutting waste.

Examples:

• Outdated regulations that prevent trucks from carrying basic safety equipment

• Tax code that doesn't recognize we’re living in the 21st century

• Barriers that prevent the adoption of proven technologies and put America behind competing nations

2. Protecting American interests

When taxpayer dollars subsidize foreign competitors, fund overseas agricultural expansion, or support companies that violate our laws, we undermine our own success. The common good requires putting American interests first.

Examples:

• Chinese-owned companies controlling 350,000+ acres of American farmland

• Development finance supporting agricultural projects in countries that compete with US producers

• Federal contracts going to foreign-owned corporations instead of American businesses
