National Security & Border Protection

The northern border stretches about 58 miles, much of it remote and heavily forested. When I toured the border, there was only one officer stationed in Pittsburg to patrol the entire stretch, and most of the area had no cell service, making effective monitoring extremely difficult. The Northern Border Alliance, a $1.4 million program, aims to increase patrols and deter illegal activity, but resource constraints remain a major challenge. 

Authorities in New Hampshire are working to stop the flow of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine coming from distributors in Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts. Recent operations have seized large quantities of drugs and led to dozens of arrests. By strengthening enforcement, improving coordination, and targeting trafficking routes from Massachusetts, New Hampshire aims to protect communities and make the state safer for everyone. 

As the only candidate in this race who voted to ban sanctuary cities in New Hampshire, I have a proven record of standing for law and order. When I am elected to Congress, I will fight to secure the funding and resources our state needs to strengthen both our northern and southern border defenses. New Hampshire must continue balancing northern border patrols with the growing flow of drugs coming from the south, and I will work to ensure our law enforcement has the tools, staffing, and communication infrastructure they need to keep our communities safe. 

Too often, energy policy is filled with talk and promises, but little action. I believe New Hampshire deserves leaders who roll up their sleeves and get things done. That’s why I traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with the Department of Energy to discuss concrete steps for advancing energy projects in our state. We can no longer wait while families and businesses pay some of the highest electricity rates in the nation. 

After my trip, I met with leaders at Google and NextEra, the company that owns Seabrook Power Plant, to discuss plans for building nuclear power here in New Hampshire. These conversations reinforced an important point: we need collaboration between government and private industry to accelerate energy solutions. By encouraging competition and advancing innovation, we can lower energy costs and deliver tangible benefits for every Granite Stater. 

I support the development of advanced nuclear technologies, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). These reactors are smaller, safer, and more flexible than traditional nuclear power plants, and they can be deployed where they are most needed. I am proposing the construction of a micro nuclear power plant near Seabrook and another in the North Country. These plants will provide clean, reliable energy for our communities and create opportunities to export electricity to neighboring states, boosting our economy. 

Our goal should be clear: advancing nuclear energy to lower costs and secure reliable power for Granite Staters. When I get to Congress, I will push to secure a waiver for the Jones Act, which currently requires that goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported on U.S.-built and -operated vessels. This waiver would make it easier for New Hampshire to import energy resources, helping to reduce electricity costs for families and businesses. By investing in SMRs, encouraging competition, and supporting innovation, I will work to position New Hampshire as a national leader in nuclear energy. 

I am committed to helping Americans live longer and healthier lives by addressing the root causes of disease. I will champion policies that encourage healthier lifestyle choices and invest in research, innovation, and the development of new treatments, therapies, and technologies to Make America Healthy Again.

Aging drives nearly 90% of the diseases affecting Americans, yet less than 1% of NIH funding goes to studying it. I’ll fight to increase funding so we can extend healthy lifespan and improve quality of life, especially for our growing senior population in New Hampshire. 

Healthcare is the largest driver of federal spending at 1.9 trillion dollars per year, mostly on Medicare and Medicaid, with aging related diseases accounting for nearly 90 percent of these costs, so by investing in healthspan extension through prevention, rejuvenation biology and regenerative medicine, we can reduce hospitalizations, long term care and disability costs, strengthen the workforce, boost tax revenue, save hundreds of billions even trillions over time and position the United States as a global leader in healthspan research, securing a stronger economy for future generations. 

The FDA does not recognize aging as a treatable condition, so clinical trials focus on individual diseases rather than aging itself, and by requiring FDA guidance for trials targeting aging as a primary indication and creating specialized approval pathways for longevity biotechnology, we can accelerate innovation, encourage private investment, strengthen United States leadership in biotech, bring life extending therapies to patients faster, and help our country become healthier. 

Our healthcare system today focuses on treating disease after it appears rather than preventing it, leaving nearly half of our lives spent managing preventable age related conditions. This approach is not only costly but unsustainable for future generations.

I believe it is time to shift our focus to prevention through rejuvenation, using science and innovation to extend health, independence, and quality of life for all Americans. By addressing the root causes of aging, I want to help people live longer, more productive lives while reducing the burden of chronic disease on families, communities, and the federal budget.

This effort is also a matter of global leadership. Countries like China, Russia, and other international competitors are investing heavily in longevity science. The nation that leads in healthy aging will secure a strategic advantage economically, militarily, and morally. I will make sure America does not sit on the sidelines, and that we lead responsibly and decisively in the race to extend healthy lifespan.

The economic impact of this approach is significant. By preventing age related disease, we can lower long term healthcare costs, strengthen the workforce, and ensure the sustainability of our economy for future generations. Investing in healthspan is not just smart policy, it is essential for our nation’s prosperity.

I will vigorously defend the Second Amendment in Congress. I am committed to protecting the rights of all law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms, whether for self-defense, sport, or hunting. 

As your representative, I have sponsored and supported legislation to expand and clarify responsible firearm use. Bills like HB 1024 and HB 211 ensure that New Hampshire hunters can legally use qualifying air rifles to pursue game safely and responsibly. These measures:

• Allow air rifles of sufficient caliber and power for hunting, giving outdoorsmen and sportsmen more freedom while maintaining safety.
   
• Clarify legal definitions of air rifles to avoid confusion and ensure lawful use.
   
• Establish programs under the New Hampshire Fish & Game Commission to regulate air-rifle hunting responsibly.
   

In Congress, I will stand unwaveringly against any attempt to weaken our fundamental liberties. I will fight to ensure that every citizen can protect themselves, their families, and their property, while preserving New Hampshire’s proud traditions of hunting, sport shooting, and personal freedom.

With your support, I will be a champion for the Second Amendment and for the rights of every Granite Stater.

New Hampshire veterans deserve timely, high-quality medical care, including mental health and rehabilitation services. Expanding VA resources across the state, especially in rural areas like Coös and Grafton counties, ensures veterans don’t have to travel long distances for the care they’ve earned. 

Veterans in New Hampshire should have strong pathways into civilian careers. Supporting programs that connect veterans to local businesses, apprenticeships, and educational institutions such as UNH, SNHU, and community colleges helps them succeed. Military spouses also need access to job opportunities and childcare support across the state.

Military families in New Hampshire make sacrifices for the country. Strengthening housing assistance and veteran-focused financial counseling ensures families in cities like Manchester, Portsmouth, and rural communities can thrive while their loved ones serve. Reliable support networks recognize the unique challenges of New Hampshire’s veterans and military families. 

I believe our country cannot thrive under endless debt. The federal government is spending far more than it collects, fueling inflation and placing an unsustainable burden on future generations. I will work to achieve a balanced federal budget by cutting unnecessary spending, eliminating wasteful programs, and implementing structural reforms such as zero-based budgeting and a Balanced Budget Amendment. 

These reforms ensure every dollar spent is justified, government operates efficiently, and long-term fiscal obligations are responsibly managed. By prioritizing needs over wants and returning more decision-making power to the states, we can strengthen our economy and reduce the national debt for the benefit of all Americans 

While reducing wasteful spending and controlling deficits, I am committed to protecting essential programs that millions of Americans rely on including Social Security. 

Responsible fiscal management is about more than numbers it is about keeping the promises we make to hardworking citizens, safeguarding retirement security, and ensuring that future generations inherit a country that is financially stable and prosperous. 

By making tough but necessary choices today, we can secure a stronger economy, lower inflation, and a sustainable future for every American
