  • Fiscal Responsibility & Budgeting

    Supports

    Campaigns on 'fiscal sanity': bring federal deficit spending under control ($37.5T debt), pass a balanced budget except in times of war or recession, and stop taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens; calls the growing debt 'immoral to burden our children and grandchildren.'

    votejimo.comAs of August 2026

  • Government Transparency & Accountability

    Supports

    'No Budget No Pay': if Congress fails to pass a budget, members should not be paid - no retroactive pay and no taxpayer-funded health insurance - which he argues would end continuing resolutions and government shutdowns; the budget should be balanced except in times of war or recession.

    Supports

    Supports securing the border (enhanced barriers, technology, more border agents), requiring companies to use E-Verify so they cannot hire illegal aliens for lower wages, ending taxpayer-funded benefits (SNAP, housing, unemployment, Medicare, Social Security) for illegal aliens, and birthright citizenship only for those here legally; supports legal immigration and a reasonable number of H-2A/H-2B visas.
