Libertarian
1. What do you see as the most difficult challenge(s) facing the district, and what solutions do you propose?
Gerrymandering. The district stretches from the Dallas suburbs to the Arkansas border. This is ridiculous and severely hampers efforts to represent constituents. We need an impartial overhaul of the redistricting system. Districts need to be much more compact and contiguous.
The rural areas of the district need a much better broadband infrastructure.
2. What are your legislative priorities for the next Congress?
Term limits.
An elimination of gerrymandering.
Reform of the electoral college so votes are cast by congressional district, not on a state basis.
Massive cuts in the size of the federal payroll.
Reform of the Federal Reserve so it cannot manipulate the economy.
Legalization of marijuana.
A Zero Amendment to the Constitution requiring all laws are to be enforced equally regardless of race, color, religion, sex and national origin, and the same be required for all government hiring and contracts.
3. How do you propose to make affordable health care available to as many Americans as possible?
Eliminate price controls on proprietary prescription drugs. The pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune profiteering from price guidelines set by the government. That will save billions.
4. What, if anything, should Congress do to address the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement?
Work to insure anti-terrorism laws are enforced against domestic terrorists such as BLM and Antifa. Same goes for right-wing groups.
5. What, if anything, would you change about U.S. foreign policy?
Stop enforcing American military power to protect American corporations' economic interests and only use the military for national interests. Armed neutrality for a strong defense. We do not need to be the world's policeman. We need to respect nations' individual sovereignty.
