Balancing the budget not just a goal but a moral imperative

for our nation and its citizens first.[Reid says], "Balancing the budget isn't just a financial goal; it's a moral imperative. It's about ensuring that we leave a legacy of financial responsibility and a brighter future for generations to come."

On Foreign Policy:
US and NATO should stop funding Ukraine; force peace
Rasner also wants the U.S. to stop funding Ukraine, believing the United States will end up getting into a "hot war" with Russia. He said the
U.S. should "force peace" in the region, in part by telling NATO allies to stop funding Ukraine. Both sides will lose something, he said, but the U.S. and the world will win.

On Government Reform:
We must cut regulations and incentivize American businesses
The stagnation witnessed under Barrasso's watch demands a radical shift in policies. Prioritize measures supporting small businesses, innovation, and job creation to generate revenue and counter the
damage inflicted by decades of irresponsible governance. We must cut regulations, unleash Wyoming energy, and bolster American manufacturing to become an exporter once again. Bring back "Made in America" and incentivize American businesses.

On Health Care:
Allow importing drugs from Canada to keep Rx costs down
In these times of economic uncertainty and inflation, one key area where we can make a tangible difference in the lives of Americans is by tackling the rising costs of prescription drugs. That's why I strongly advocate for lower-cost prescriptions.As
inflation continues to impact families across the country, the burden of high prescription drug prices is particularly felt by those who can least afford it. Importing lower-cost prescriptions from Canada is a common-sense solution that aligns with our
core Republican values of free-market principles & prioritizing the needs of the American people.
It's disheartening to note that my opponent, John Barrasso, voted against such a measure in 2017. At a time when Americans were grappling with increasing
healthcare costs, Barrasso's decision was a missed opportunity to stand up for the hardworking citizens he represents. Instead of supporting a policy that would have eased the financial burden on American families, he opted to maintain the status quo.
