Key dates
Full six-year term
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.
