Healthcare should be about market driven solutions, not government mandates.

Over the longer term, we need to work toward a pro-growth tax code that is fairer and simpler than what we have now. Anything that meets those criteria is going to be better than the failing and dysfunctional tax code we have today.

We need to balance the budget and force Washington to stop spending more than it takes in.

Here in Iowa, as a state senator, I have worked hard to find solutions that work for our state and as a result we've reduced taxes and lowered the unemployment rate. We have done that through hard work and sticking to our Iowa values. In the final months of this campaign I'll be asking voters to send me, and those Iowa values, to Washington, D.C.

When we do go to combat, it should be with a defined mission and a plan for withdrawal.

Healthcare costs are rising due to Obamacare.

As a soldier and combat veteran, I believe American military forces should only be used in the defense and furtherance of our nation's vital interests.
