Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.
Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.
Background
Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

We can be self-reliant on our own energy resources, whether it's oil, natural gas, coal, wind, solar, nuclear — whatever it is, we're going to need it all.
The federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Background

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.
Background
Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.
This is just common sense. It's accountability. Most of it is what we already do in West Virginia. It's voter ID, which we already have in West Virginia.
A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.
Background
Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.
