Principles that put Americans first

These are the standards we live by and expect from our candidates. We measure success by real life for American families—lower cost of living, higher wages, stronger communities, and leaders who serve with humility.

Term Limits, New Leadership

Career politics blocks fresh solutions and accountability. Term limits open space for new leaders who are focused on service, not tenure.

Why it matters locally: Long tenures can detach leaders from everyday realities (permits, potholes, procurement).
How candidates apply this: Pledge a max number of terms and publish a succession plan for boards/commissions.

The Real-Life Economy: Cost of Living First

GDP isn’t the whole story. Americans feel affordability in housing, energy, food, and healthcare—every single month.

Why it matters locally: Families feel prices and wages — not abstract growth.
How candidates apply this: Require a “cost-of-living note” on major ordinances (fees, housing, utilities).

Reshore and Modernize to Raise Wages

Bring critical manufacturing home and make it world-class. Pair automation and modernization with training so productivity gains lift wages.

Why it matters locally: Good-paying jobs come from competitive, modern facilities.
How candidates apply this: Fast-track sites, modernize zoning, and pair automation grants with skills training.

Secure Borders & Smart Visas (H-1B Overhaul)

A sovereign nation needs a secure border and a visa system that protects American workers while meeting genuine skill gaps.

Why it matters locally: Communities benefit from lawful, skills-aligned immigration that protects wages.
How candidates apply this: Support compliance at the local level; advocate for skills-matching pathways, wage floors, and transparency.

Fiscal Responsibility with Dignity

Debt matters — and so do promises made to seniors. We can rein in waste while honoring earned benefits.

Why it matters locally: Budgets should prioritize value—and protect seniors and the vulnerable.
How candidates apply this: Zero-based reviews, competitive bidding, and anti-waste audits—without cutting essential care.

Fix Healthcare Incentives

Care should come first, not insurer profits. Align incentives to outcomes and patient experience.

Why it matters locally: Premiums, surprise bills, and wait times hit households hardest.
How candidates apply this: Promote price transparency, support clinic expansions, and push insurer accountability.

Local First, Bipartisan Always

Real change moves fastest close to home. We’ll work with anyone who’s serious about results for Americans.

Why it matters locally: Most problems are practical, not partisan.
How candidates apply this: Co-sponsor rules requiring cross-party sponsors for big changes; citizen dashboards.
