Where LaPlante stands

Border Enforcement and Immigration

The Constitution makes it clear that enforcing the nation’s borders and immigration laws is a federal responsibility, yet those laws are increasingly being ignored or selectively enforced.

What changes would you make to the federal immigration enforcement practices to ensure all residents are treated with dignity, civilian’s constitutional rights are protected, and people’s rights to free speech, assembly, and civic participation are not violated?

We need to enforce and follow guidelines that are already in place instead of treating them as suggestions. Illegal is illegal that simple. Of course they will be treated humanly that goes without saying. People absolutely have a right to free speech regardless if you agree with them or not. However blocking highways or ignoring cities rules or permits should be followed for public safety.

Academic Excellence/ Home Education

Our public education system is failing students, leaving too many unprepared for higher education, careers, and civic life.

What will you do to combat the underlying issues driving the inflation rate such as the rising costs of housing, childcare, energy, and groceries?

Audit the federal reserve and hopefully ended. I believe printing more money os not the answer and leads to inflation and rising cost and devaluation of the dollar

How do you see Congress fulfilling its constitutionally mandated role as a check on the President and Executive Branch’s power and what additional steps will you propose?

We need to get back to following the Constitution instead of whoever is in power makes the rules also federal judges have to learn their boundaries also .

Government Overreach and Transparency

The federal government has expanded far beyond the limits set by the Constitution, creating agencies and bureaucracies that were never enumerated or authorized by the people.

What are the top three challenges facing our country today and what do you propose to address them?

Cost of living due to National debt and congress wasteful spending Transparency and accountability My solution is financial and Constitutional audits of all government agencies.we can't fix what we don't know. In my travels I came across a group of guys who created a program that lets taxpayers see where their money is going live time and can interact live time .if we intensive government to do the right thing because they're being watched thats ultimate Transparency and accountability in my eyes
