The Issues

JANIS'S PERSPECTIVE

Our Beautiful America is at a critical and pivotal point in history as a country. Never before has it been so important to choose the right leaders to represent our conservative voices than right now and in this moment. As your future conservative Congresswoman, I am committed to upholding the values and principles that define and make America great.


01

Freedom & Limited Government

I believe in the power of freedom and limited government. Our founding fathers envisioned a nation where individuals are free to pursue their dreams without interference from the government. I will fight to reduce the size of government, eliminate unnecessary regulations, and ensure that power remains in the hands of people.


02

Economic Growth and Job Creation

I believe that the backbone of a prosperous nation is a strong economy, which encourages economic growth and creates jobs. I am committed to passing policies that encourage and support tax cuts for individuals and businesses, reducing burdensome regulations, and promoting free-market principles. These efforts will empower small businesses, empower entrepreneurs, and create an environment of innovation and hard work. This will all lead to more opportunities and higher wages for all Americans.


03

Fiscal Responsibility

Our nation's debt is a significant threat to our future and it is past time to get our fiscal house in order. I will work tirelessly to balance the budget, cut wasteful spending, and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used wisely. We must be responsible stewards of our finances to secure a stable and prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.


04

National Security

A strong national defense is essential to our safety and sovereignty. I am committed to ensuring that our military remains the best in the world, fully equipped to meet any challenge. We must support our troops, stand firm against our adversaries, and protect our borders. National security is non-negotiable and I will work to keep America safe and secure


05

Family Values and Community

Family is the cornerstone of our society. I believe in promoting policies that strengthen family values, support parents, and protect the sanctity of life. Our communities thrive when families are strong and I will work to ensure that every family has the support and resources they need to succeed. I will support policies that support the rights of parents to protect and care for their children and vote to eliminate agencies that are no longer relevant to the support of healthy and safe communities.


06

Healthcare Reform

We need a healthcare system for American citizens that is affordable, accessible, and patient-centered. I will advocate and vote for market-based solutions that increase competition, lower costs, and give patients more control over their healthcare decisions. We must protect citizens with pre-existing conditions while promoting innovation and efficiency in our healthcare system.


07

Education and Opportunity

Every American child deserves access to a quality education. I support school choice, empowering parents to decide the best educational path for their children. We must also invest in vocational training and higher education to prepare our next-generation workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. Education is the key to opportunity, and I will work to ensure that our policies and taxes provide every American citizen a chance to succeed.


08

Conservative Values

I stand firm on my conservative values. I believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, and the principles of liberty and justice for all. I will defend our Second Amendment rights, protect religious freedom, and uphold the values that have made our country great. [2]
