On Crime:
Crime is running amok on American streets
Thanks to the insanity of the defund the police movement, widespread acceptance of rioting, and corrupt Soros district attorneys, crime is running amok on American streets. The homicide rate alone increased by 30% in 2020!
Although the soft-on-crime philosophy is frequently couched in terms of "racial justice," we know that the Democrats' defund the police movement has hurt racial minorities the most.

On Education:
Parents must have options to meet their child's unique needs
Our educational system has been corrupted, with more and more of children's education coming from Washington bureaucrats and well-funded teachers' unions. We need greater accountability for schools, options for parents, and results for students.
For reform to be meaningful, parents must have real options to meet their child's unique needs. Furthermore, we must end the cancer of wokeness that has infiltrated so many of our schools.

On Energy & Oil:
No American should accept the crippling of domestic energy
If the government got out of the way, we wouldn't need to import oil from the Middle East.No American anywhere should accept the crippling of domestic energy that we've seen since 2021 -- certainly not in the name of hysterical environmentalism.
Environmental stewardship is important, but destroying our way of life is not. I'm a firm believer that technological advances have benefited mankind and the environment in the past, and will continue to do so in the future.

On Government Reform:
The ruling elite have created a regulatory state run amok
The ruling elite have driven our country to the brink: $34 trillion in debt, a regulatory state run amok, wokeism, weaponization of federal agencies against its citizenry, an invasion at our border, and unprecedented weakness now on the world stage--
Enough is Enough. Mayor Staggs is the only one in this race with a record of always standing up and fighting for his constituents by taking on the establishment through both words, and more importantly, ACTION.

On Gun Control:
Those wanting to take guns are responsible for crime wave
As crime has increased, so has the desire for Americans to defend themselves. The only thing that's gone up more than crime is gun ownership. Given Americans' clear desire to protect themselves, I reject the idea that the Second Amendment is outdated.
Every dictator who has seized power from a free society has first seized their weapons. The people who want to take our guns are the same people responsible for our crime wave. I will fight for your ability to defend yourself and your family.

On Homeland Security:
Maintain the air superiority making us world's "Top Gun"
My five priorities are:- build the strongest cyber-security shield ever seen
- maintain the air superiority that made us the world's "Top Gun"
- ensure the Navy keeps our international trade lanes secure
- keep woke ideology from destroying
our military's resolve
- spend smarter than we have been
- America can stay the world's superpower, but not without real change real fast.

On Immigration:
American hating globalists support illegal immigration
Every country enforces border security and travel of non-citizens. Americans have been so kind-hearted for so long that the idea of enforcing our own laws has become controversial. A sensible immigration policy is not what the enemies of freedom want.
The globalists who hate America have made it clear that illegal immigration is the way they'll do it. When the bad guys tell you what their evil plan is, you should probably pay attention.

On Principles & Values:
Jesus Christ at the center of their family of two children
Trent and his wife, Alisha, have been married since 2007. Guiding their successful marriage has been a shared faith in God, with
Jesus Christ at the center of their family of two children. Trent knows that the family is the bedrock institution of all human society. Families must be safe and strong if a country wants to be.

On Principles & Values:
Wokeness is a false religion with no business in government
Wokeness has infiltrated almost every aspect of our daily life, fomenting hostility and anger under the false flag of "tolerance." While many companies who subscribe to ESG guidelines "get woke and go broke," wokeness now has the force of law under
the corrupt Biden Administration.Wokeness is a false religion with no business in our government. It must be ripped out wherever it shows its ugly head. As Senator, I will be woke's worst enemy.

On Tax Reform:
Fought to lower every tax and fee I can get my hands on
Our income is taxed, our purchases are taxed, our property is taxed, our investments are taxed, and when we die, our children's inheritance is taxed. The federal government has grown so much that it now requires more than 25% of the average
American's income. Your labor is your property. As a mayor, I've fought to lower every tax and fee I can get my hands on--and I'll do the same as your Senator.
