Chad supports building the wall, along the Mexican border. He says that ICE should try to arrest and deport all illegal aliens.
Budget & Appropriations
Chad wants to ensure that Congress will obey the Constitution. He wants to cut spending, from each cabinet department and agency by at least 3%, each year. Since the federal government would need less money, the same bill would cut tax rates.
Firearms
Chad supports the 2nd Amendment. He knows that law-abiding Americans can own guns to defend themselves. He'll never vote for any gun control bills.

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.
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.
Since Dobbs, where you live decides what care you can get. A patient in one state gets a routine procedure; a patient four hours away is sent home to get sicker until she qualifies as an emergency, while her doctor calls a lawyer before calling a colleague. Hospitals have closed maternity wards rather than staff them under laws written to be prosecuted, so women in those counties now drive an hour to give birth whether they ever needed an abortion or not. This was never really a state-by-state question, because the people are the same people and the pregnancies are the same pregnancies. Only the county line changed. Pass the Women's Health Protection Act and restore a federal floor for abortion access, so that care stops depending on a map.
