Issues

America was founded on the enduring principles of individual liberty, freedom, and strong communities. Many of these fundamental American values have been repeatedly challenged as Washington politicians and unelected bureaucrats devoted valuable time and taxpayer resources to initiatives that devalue human life, fail to safeguard our children, and advance a dangerous woke agenda. Under President Trump’s bold leadership, we are once again restoring commonsense American values throughout our government and across the nation.

America’s veterans have risked their lives to defend our great nation and protect our freedoms. As the mother of a Marine officer, I understand the sacrifices that are made by our service members and their families each day. That’s why one of my top priorities in Congress is to make sure every American service member and veteran is well-equipped and adequately supported, whether they are actively serving our country or transitioning back to civilian life.

Agriculture is the backbone of our regional economy. The 24th Congressional District is the largest agricultural district in the Northeast, the 5^th largest dairy district in the U.S., and includes Wayne County as the 3^rd largest apple-producing county in the U.S. and the largest outside Washington State.

As the mother of a Marine officer and member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I understand the importance of American leadership on the global stage. I strongly support President Trump’s foreign policy of peace through strength which makes America stronger. 

Since I was first elected to public office, my mission has always been to put New York taxpayers first. For America to remain competitive and free, we need a straightforward tax code that rewards work, encourages entrepreneurship, and creates an environment where families and businesses can thrive.

Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and various federal and state agencies, have taken immediate action to stop illegal immigration, drug and weapons trafficking, and the influx of criminal gangs in our communities. Through this coordination, federal agencies have created a deterrent effect, reducing illegal entries to historic lows.

While President Trump has begun enacting policies to unleash American energy dominance, New York families are still grappling with sky-high energy prices that were driven by radical, misguided policies led by Governor Hochul and Albany Democrats, as well as the previous Administration.
