It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.
Our legislative victory – an end to earmarks.
Cut defense spending as part of cutting all federal spending.
We still need to secure our southern border. The other thing I would say is we need to secure who visits us in the country.

In our state, I’m really proud of the fact that the ones who overturned Jim Crow in Kentucky were Republicans fighting against an entirely unified Democrat Party. So I am proud to be Republican. I can’t imagine being anything else.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants. If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you.
