Shane on the Issues

Focused on real solutions for Congress District 18 families

Immigration

THE ISSUE:

Our immigration system is broken by party politics that exploit both American citizens and undocumented immigrants. The system lacks accountability, especially in protecting unaccompanied minors from exploitation.

SHANE'S SOLUTION:

Liberate both citizens and immigrants from party-centric exploitation by restoring government accountability. Require all immigrants to assimilate into Western Culture and make a verbal declaration of allegiance to the United States, the Constitution, and its people. Restore DHS oversight to prevent exploitation of unaccompanied minors. Strengthen all business sectors through additions to the RAISE Act.

THE ISSUE:

Our $38+ trillion national debt represents unsustainable government waste—burdening every American with roughly $113,000 in shared obligations from birth, growing annually diverting valuable resources away from education, healthcare, and families. Scandals, fraud, waste, abuse, and political financial gain are each unique indicators that Washington is largely disconnected from everyday Americans. Taxation is the primary language between the people and your representative. Taxation of your wages and salary and is your only true authority, dollars should reflect real accountability, not endless borrowing.

SHANE'S SOLUTION:

Support common-sense, pro-American tax reform without raising taxes on working families. Use targeted tariffs as a smart revenue tool, projected to generate over $240 billion a year to reduce deficits and rebuild American industry. Prioritize "Made in the USA" production to bring jobs and innovation back home. Cut our debt, grow wages, and make America less dependent on foreign supply chains through responsible trade, strong manufacturing, and an economy built by American workers—for American workers.

Tax Reform- Fairness and Accountability for Working Families

THE ISSUE:

In today's politics, emotional reactions often overpower rational judgment, leading to misguided policies and weakened self-governance. Politicians use fear-mongering about "freedom under attack" to expand government control over Americans' lives.

SHANE'S SOLUTION:

Restore moral and rational balance in leadership based on Aristotle's principle that a virtuous society blends rational wisdom with disciplined character. America's strength depends not just on intelligence or technical progress, but on moral excellence guided by reason. Adopt a principled approach to leadership where empathy is balanced with wisdom, and compassion is guided by truth. Cultivate a government that strengthens both the intellect and character of its people, ensuring the Blessings of Liberty endure for generations.

Self-Governance

THE ISSUE:

Washington politicians claim "freedom is under attack" or "democracy is at risk," but often use this rhetoric as an excuse to expand government control. Federal overreach has created unnecessary bureaucracy that intrudes on Americans' ability to live, work, speak, worship, and associate freely.

SHANE'S SOLUTION:

As Patrick Henry declared, "Give me liberty or give me death" — liberty is freedom in action. Ensure every federal policy clearly serves one of the Constitution's core purposes: establishing justice, ensuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, or promoting the general welfare. If a law fails that test, it's overreach that undermines freedom. Government's proper role is to secure our God-given, unalienable rights so that each citizen can pursue those blessings through personal ambition, conscience, and hard work — not bureaucratic permission slips. Back only policies that keep the federal government within its limited constitutional mandate, so Americans can freely pursue happiness and secure their own blessings of liberty.

Liberty for All

Second Amendment

THE ISSUE:

Politicians continue to propose excessive taxes, regulations, and back-door restrictions that treat gun ownership as a privilege to be managed rather than a birthright to be respected. This undermines Americans' ability to defend themselves, their families, and their property.

SHANE'S SOLUTION:

Affirm that the Second Amendment protects an individual's preexisting right to keep and bear arms — not a gift from government. The "well-regulated Militia" clause reflects government's duty to support a prepared citizenry for common defense, while "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" secures each person's right to own, carry, and use firearms. See the Second Amendment as a vital bridge between citizen and state that empowers every law-abiding American, regardless of background, to defend themselves and their families while strengthening our collective security. Oppose any effort to undermine this inherent right through excessive taxes, regulations, or restrictions.
