I believe in an America-first agenda. Only by ensuring the safety and security of our own nation first, can we then care for others. Historically, we’ve spent too much time and too much money assisting foreign nations, while Americans have suffered.
We can look back to this past September when thousands of families in western North Carolina lost their homes to the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene. Meanwhile, government response to assist those impacted by the storm was slow, forcing many to live in tents.
While many believe that “America first” is an agenda used by the so-called alt-Right, I do not see it as such. The America first I envision is one engrained in compassion, care and love for our neighbors and our families. It’s about protecting who we are as a nation and as citizens.
It’s time we put America first!
