State and local law enforcement are the primary protectors of the health, safety, and welfare of the people in the individual states.

I am concerned that the vague guidelines and policies used by the NSA for intelligence collection and sharing, in conjunction with elusive direction from the Administration, have led to intelligence being collected on sitting members of Congress for political purposes.

We must enforce the laws we have on the books, secure our borders, and deny special benefits to illegal immigrants such as in-state tuition rates. This approach is best for American citizens and is fair to those who have taken the time and effort to go through the legal immigration process.

I look forward to taking on issues regarding the Constitution, intellectual property, terrorism, and other legal and regulatory reforms.
