Energy & Utilities
“I support an all-of-above energy strategy that includes a heavy reliance on nuclear power. Having served on a nuclear submarine, I understand the promise and safety of nuclear technology. I support investing in small modular reactors to fuel our American future – like the ones that power Navy ships.”
International Affairs & Trade
“Congress needs to re-assert its tariff authority under the Constitution. I will work with any member of Congress to reduce tariffs.”
Immigration
“Most people agree that we should remove violent criminals and cartel traffickers from the streets to keep our communities safe. At the same time, we should not expend limited government resources pursuing peaceful immigrants who contribute to our economy. Deporting a drug kingpin makes us safer; deporting a local farm hand makes us poorer.”
Firearms
“But weapons of war (assault weapons) are not needed for personal defense or hunting. Colorado has experienced the horror of mass shootings using assault weapons. For a decade during the 1990s and early 2000s, Congress restricted assault weapons, and I believe Congress should revisit that approach.”
Elections & Campaigns
Eliminate gerrymandering and create truly competitive elections with more than two viable political parties. The United States is one of the only modern democracies where politicians effectively choose their voters through redistricting. That must change.

The government holds the investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of children: who paid, who flew, who knew, and which prosecutors decided back in 2008 that a plea deal was enough. Every release so far has landed late, partial, and with the redactions falling in suspiciously convenient places. The survivors have spent two decades being told to wait while the people they named kept their board seats and their reputations. There is exactly one legitimate reason to withhold any of this, and that is protecting victims who never chose to be in it; every other black box is someone being shielded who shouldn't be. Force the full release of the Epstein files with victim-identifying information redacted and nothing else, and open an independent review of how the 2008 deal was allowed to happen.
On September 15, Rep. Thomas Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and the House can be forced to vote on them. The Constitution gives Congress, not the executive branch, the power to take the country to war, and it gives the House the power to remove officials who ignore that limit. Keeping American forces in combat in Iran without authorization from Congress is exactly the kind of abuse impeachment exists to answer. Impeachment is not a criminal trial. It is how Congress enforces the oath every official swears to the Constitution. Vote to impeach and remove him.
The National Archives holds the founding documents and the receipts, the records that let a citizen check what the government actually did. The Smithsonian and the national museums hold the version of the American story that outlasts whoever is in office. None of that survives being run by whoever currently holds power. We are watching boards replaced with loyalists, exhibits rewritten to flatter one man, collections put at risk, and a Pearl Harbor hero's name scraped off a ship to make room for an ego. A country that lets its record be edited by the people the record is about has no way to hold anyone accountable later. Write independence for the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and the national cultural institutions into statute, with fixed board terms, protection from political removal, and no rewriting or renaming without public process.
