*INCUMBENT

U.S. House, District 36, Republican Primary

With space being a growing industry in the area, what policies would you/have you supported to continue that expansion? As the Space Subcommittee Chairman, we passed the FAA Reauthorization Act, detailing a framework for technologies like electric propulsion/commercial space launches. We passed the Commercial Space Act, which supports growing industry partners and international competitiveness. I’m working on a NASA reauthorization bill to support our space program/commercial partners.

What will be your top priority if elected?

Secure U.S. borders. Reverse economic decline. Re-establish law and order. Unleash U.S. energy. Strengthen our military. Support Second Amendment rights. Protect the unborn. Support [Johnson Space Center] and ensure we remain the world’s preeminent space-faring nation. Restore U.S. standing on the international stage.
