Champion Fiscal Responsibility:
Congress is the steward of our country’s money. We have gotten to a point where the government is taking in $5 billion per day, but spending $10 billion per day. Sean will work to reduce our spending and move towards a balanced budget.
Improve the economy:
Sean has the experience working with government and business to improve economic growth. His leadership in Afghanistan demonstrated the synergy that can occur between business and government resulting in economic growth.
Our current tax system is over complicated and favors a few. He believes that the system needs to be overhauled and a simpler and fairer tax system put in place instead.
Sean believes the inheritance tax should be eliminated. This tax punishes our hardworking people trying to pass on their life savings to their heirs. He believes the child tax credit needs to be increased
Reduce Unemployment:
The civilian sector has been overburden with big government and their bureaucratic regulations that have stifled growth and hiring.
The private sector must be allowed tax incentives to put people to work. The SBA has a Micro Loan program that is designed to spur business growth in low income and poverty stricken areas. This program will help the people of District 18 to create new job opportunities
Strong National Defense:
Our National defense is vital to our security and way of life. Having served on the front lines Sean knows what hardship is made when we send our sons and daughters into harm’s way. The use of armed action is the final option of diplomacy and committing our forces must be prudent and in our national interest.
Secure our Borders:
Sean spent 13 months working with the Afghan and Pakistan police to secure their border and improve customs and immigration. He has seen firsthand what works and what does not. Some of the same technology that the US Army successfully employed there can also be used on our border. The bottom line is to make our borders safe and prevent criminals, terrorist, and drugs from entering our country.
The United States has always been the land of opportunity and people will always want to come here to make a better life for themselves and their family. We must first secure the border before dealing with the illegal immigrants. We must use the organizations we have already to enforce the laws that are in existence. The use of the National Guard on the border is a viable short term solution to secure the border.
