Issues
They call it the Space Coast for good reasons. Our community is at the center of the private and government space partnership that will forge unprecedented and unexpected technological advances. Our district's economy depends on the growth of this sector in ways that will give all our citizens the opportunity to share in the dividends of space including good jobs. We must commit to men and women returning to space – to the moon, and even beyond, to Mars.
Our environment is a resource that contributes to our economic well-being as well as our health and life quality. We must use that resource wisely in balancing environmental values with economic growth. Our own Indian River Lagoon must be managed consistent with these principles. I will bring resources to improving the air, water and ecosystems of the Spacecoast including the Lagoon.
We are a nation of immigrants and strategic, lawful immigration can help to drive our economy. For too long, the nation has suffered the consequences of open borders and unlawful entry to the country including crime and depressed wage income for American workers. We must close our borders, deport migrant criminals and seek a lasting and strategic reform of immigration law.
Freedom survives where free market economies thrive and flourish. We have learned that reducing burdensome taxes and regulations creates an economic engine where everyone is lifted together. We can do this by extending the 2017 tax cuts and reducing taxes further especially to reshore jobs lost due to past policies. We must also reduce regulations. I’m also committed to no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime and a 15% corporate tax rate for firms that create jobs in the USA.
