On Energy & Oil: We must invest in energy independence and gas under $2/gal

• We must be energy independent and not rely on oil from the Middle East or Venezuela.
• On Joe Biden's first day as President, he shut down the Keystone Pipeline. That pipeline must flow again so that we can return to less than $2.00 per gallon.

On Free Trade: Protect US jobs and products against unfair trade practices

On Drugs: Rated F by NORML: no marijuana legalization

NORML Politician Info: rated F
• Candidate: Hung Cao (R - VA): Candidate in race for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, November 5, 2024
• Position on Marijuana Legalization: "This is a state's rights issue. The problem is for military personnel and the federal aviation administration, when we are dealing with flight safety, we do not want them to be on drugs while they are working with planes or flying planes. That is why at the federal level it needs to be illegal. The states can do whatever they want within your state. You can go to Colorado, whatever you want. At the federal level, the reason why we need to keep it that way is for the military and our transportation administration." (10/5/22 Virginia 10th Congressional District Candidates Forum)

On Foreign Policy: Raised in Niger; protected by US Marines

A: In 1979, when the Shah of Iran fell, my family and I were living in Niamey, Niger.

In that moment, I wanted to be a hero like them which is why I dedicated a lifetime to serve in the military.
