  • Foreign Policy & National Security

    Opposes

    Opposes America's participation in 'endless wars,' arguing they make the world more dangerous rather than safer; if elected, would make ending war and international conflict his focus, prioritizing protecting the innocent and healing a broken world.

    “Michael believes America's participation in the endless wars are not making the world safer, they are making it more dangerous. Looming global war is an existential threat to Rhode Island, our nation and the other eight billion people we share the planet with. If elected, Michael will make ending war and international conflicts his focus.”

  • Religious Liberty

    Supports

    Supports religious liberty and respectful public discussion of faith, arguing that honest conversation about different beliefs should inform policy and budgeting to make government more merciful and just.

    “Rhode Island was founded on religious liberty. … He also believes that open discussion about different faith issues can and should contribute to how policy is formed and how budgets are formulated. The goal should always be to make our state, our nation and our world more merciful and just.”

  • Term Limits

    Supports

    Supports congressional term limits, arguing they counter massive incumbency advantages, reduce the influence of special-interest groups and lobbyists, produce a more bipartisan Congress, and bring fresh ideas and accountability.

    “With reelection rates often above 90-95% despite Congress's abysmal approval ratings, term limits break the cycle of financial dominance, name recognition, and office perks that make it nearly impossible for challengers to win leading to more competitive, responsive elections.”
