On Budget & Economy: Supports the tax cut but wants to stop debt from growing

In South Dakota, we believe in low taxes and balanced budgets--and I will carry that belief with me to Congress. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act will help the middle class and, as we've seen, will provide a boost to our economy. It is also projected to increase our debt. It will be incumbent upon us to take the ballooning national debt seriously and right-size our government before it is too late.

On Civil Rights: Our Constitution is a pillar of American exceptionalism

Our Constitution is a pillar of American exceptionalism. It guarantees our people freedom of speech, freedom to practice a chosen faith, and the right to keep and bear arms. These guarantees, and others in the Constitution, make up the fabric of who we are as Americans. I will fight every day to ensure that our Constitutional rights are preserved.

On Government Reform: End out-of-control bureaucracies that rule by regulation

The federal government has gotten too big, too complicated, and too intrusive. The federal government needs to get out of our daily lives and out of the way of business. I'll work to rein in out-of-control bureaucracies that rule by regulation, and return the power to make laws to our states, communities, and people.

On Immigration: Enforce border security law; plus merit-based immigration

We are a nation of laws. Any discussion of immigration should start with border security. Illegal immigration imposes serious costs on our nation, and we need to use a strong combination of walls, professional law-enforcement, and technology (like E-Verify) to combat this problem. When done properly, legal immigration can be a tremendous benefit to our country. I like much of what the President has proposed with regard to chain migration and moving toward a merit-based immigration system.
