Repeal and replace ObamaCare
Americans are struggling to keep up with today's rising healthcare costs. A one-size-fits-all approach with increased government regulation is not the answer. Repeal and replace ObamaCare once and for all. He opposes efforts that would create a big
government, Medicare for all system and instead supports efforts for a personalized, patient-centered approach that ensures competition, covers pre-existing conditions, and lowers the costs of healthcare premiums.

On Principles & Values:
Dems and Republicans can work together to solve problems
Carl said that he represents a "red meat district," so protecting gun rights and pushing pro-life legislation will be at the top of his agenda. He also said his constituents want lower taxes and a smaller government. But Carl also said he's excited to
work with both Republicans and Democrats to craft legislation. "I found out they're not the bogeyman. They're actually normal people just like myself. A little different views on some things, but it's nothing we couldn't work through."
