Economic Growth Transportation and Infrastructure We are the backbone of America, connecting Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City. Our international ports of trade and transit unite America with the world, yet our infrastructure is crumbling! School Choice & Property Taxes Americans should have the best education, period. From elementary schools to colleges and universities, our historical progress has always started with good educational facilities. Unfortunately, progress is now threatened by overreaching government influence and political special interests. By fighting for strong schools and ending excessive government interference, we can give every child an equal chance at achieving the American Dream. That means decentralizing educational regulation, with the goal of eliminating federal influence entirely. We must promote school-choice policies at the state and local levels. We also must promote a return to healthy and diverse debate in our universities, an activity that’s become biased toward far-left political ideology. No college or university should be able to receive any federal funding without publicly presenting a balanced and unbiased admissions process, as well as curriculum and faculty. Legal Immigration Only
Second Amendment & Concealed Carry We must affirm these rights in New Jersey, remove limitations to ownership and concealed carry, and enact reciprocity legislation to ensure our constitutional rights are respected within and beyond our state borders. Drug Laws and Criminal Reform In keeping with these successes, it is time to regulate and tax cannabis in the same way as alcohol. This strategy will free up law enforcement to combat more serious issues, such as illegal smuggling across our borders. It will also encourage the treatment of drug addiction as a public health issue. New Jersey is not California — and we don't want to be like them. To avoid creating a massive drug black market, any drug approved for recreational consumption should be minimally taxed, if at all. California currently has the largest marijuana black market in the world for a reason: their heavy-handed bureacracy simply doesn't work. We should not repeat their mistakes. In addition to these measures, we must end the practice of Civil Asset Forfeiture, which currently allows law enforcement agencies to seize private property without charges or a conviction. Medical Malpractice & Tort Reform
Defend Life As your Governor, I will fight to:
Big Tech Censorship & The First Amendment Although our right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment of our Constitution, that's hardly stopped Democrats from doing whatever they can to infringe upon our rights. Aided by billions of dollars in private funding and backed by Big Tech entities like Facebook, Twitter, and more, the attack on American values and conservative thought has been expanded to the digital realm.

Medical Malpractice & Tort Reform New Jersey has one of the worst litigation environments in the country — which affects the healthcare industry and doctors specifically with frivolous lawsuits and exorbitant malpractice insurance. As Governor, I plan to address these issues in the following manner:
