America is the "shining city on a hill" because of its freedom, yet today liberals are waging an unrelenting assault on our founding principles. I will continue to stand up to their assault and protect our constitutional freedoms. I have done that as your voice in Congress for the last two years, and it is now more critical than ever that we continue this positive change.

We deserve freedom from oppression, both foreign and domestic. We must continue to support President Trump and his effective policies. He has gone to great lengths to return America to a strong and safe country and we must continue the progress. We should build a wall along our Southern border and prosecute illegal immigrants for breaking the law. I've led the fight in Congress to cripple terrorist organizations by attacking their funding.

Our federal government is too big, plain and simple. Excessive debt, red tape, and high taxes stifle job growth. While in Congress, I am working tirelessly for the 13th District by supporting comprehensive tax reform which is fueling our economic growth and letting hard working families keep more money in their pockets. I fought to eliminate wasteful earmark spending, like the Gateway Project, which would give North Carolina tax dollars to build a New York/New Jersey tunnel, and I will continue to do so. We made some good progress this year, but the political establishment is hungry for a return to their days of wasteful spending. We must stay vigilant!

Our Second Amendment is under more pressure and scrutiny than ever before. As the owner of a gun store and range, I understand how important the Second Amendment is to our nation. Law-abiding citizens are not the problem, and I will stand strong for the rights guaranteed to each of us by the 2nd Amendment. I will continue the fight for school safety and protecting our children, without compromising your right to bear arms.
