It's Time For A Change!

Drug addiction, especially prescription drug abuse, is a uniquely American crisis affecting all demographics and regions. The U.S., with less than 5% of the world's population, consumes over 80% of the world's opioids and 99% of its hydrocodone. 

Addiction is the top epidemic in our country. Bristol and Barnstable counties in our district have the highest overdose rates in Massachusetts.

As a medical-surgical nurse, Dan sees the devastating impact of substance abuse on addicts, their families, and communities. 

He advocates for a common-sense approach: prosecuting drug dealers and traffickers for crimes against humanity while providing addicts and their families with interdiction, intervention, and treatment programs.

A nation-state requires population, territory, government, and sovereignty. Borders define territory, and without enforcing these borders, a country loses its sovereignty.

Illegal migration across our southern border is a national emergency and a humanitarian and public health crisis that has found it's way into the Commonwealth. Over 95% of the fentanyl in the U.S. comes from China via Mexico, causing widespread suffering and death.

Nurse Dan advocates for a common-sense approach to illegal migration and trafficking. He supports securing borders, enforcing immigration laws, and prioritizing legal immigrants with STEM skills. 

Over the past decade, the number of tax-exempt charities in the U.S. has nearly doubled, often serving as tax shelters that enrich their creators. While many are legitimate, some act as personal piggy banks and slush funds.

Nurse Dan believes the 87,000 IRS agents hired under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act should ensure these charities fulfill their missions rather than scrutinizing ordinary taxpayers. His main concerns are the sources and spending of their funds.

This is especially troubling since many tax-exempt charities receive taxpayer-funded government money. Nurse Dan argues that such charities should be labeled as Taxpayer-Funded Tax-Exempt Charities, with stricter disclosure requirements.

Charities are vital to America, but as a taxpayer, voter, and Congressional candidate, Nurse Dan insists they should primarily rely on voluntary donations rather than government funds.

Historic inflation, particularly with soaring gas and food prices, caused by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats' reckless spending, bailouts, and handouts, is draining the earnings and savings of the working and middle classes and seniors.

Rising interest rates, declining stock markets, and shrinking retirement savings signal an imminent recession.

Dan supports ending bailouts and handouts to stop inflation, advocating for spending in line with the GDP, not excessive money printing.

He criticizes funding bankrupt cities, underfunded pension funds, Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and bogus nonprofits promoting wokeism and cancel culture.

Dan also supports affordable home ownership by providing tax incentives for owner-occupied homes, especially for first-time buyers, and tax disincentives for private equity, venture capital, and foreign takeovers of residential markets.

Nurse Dan supports conserving and preserving natural resources—land, water, and air. The lack of a clear maintenance program strategy for clean energy development in the waters around Cape Cod and the Islands is not environmentally friendly.

He advocates for energy independence to reduce fuel prices by using clean coal, natural gas, next-gen nuclear power, and renewable energies. While supporting eco-friendly projects and reasonable carbon emission reductions, Dan criticizes Biden and Kamala Harris and Progressives' decarbonization efforts as unattainable and harmful to the economy.

Nurse Dan believes projects like Vineyard Wind and Mayflower Wind may not be as eco-friendly as promoted by the Harris/Biden administration and Progressives.

Nurse Dan believes in the fundamental right of all citizens is to live and work in safe communities. 

Supporting the Blue

Nurse Dan believes that reducing crime requires hiring more police, especially for local street patrols, which studies show significantly improves safety, contrary to Biden and the Progressives who want to defund and shrink police forces around the country.

Training

Nurse Dan believes that by investing in police training and creating incentives for top-tier training, ensures the best in public-safety outcomes.

The federal government’s primary duty is to protect the welfare and sovereignty of the American people, ensuring they govern themselves without deference to foreign entities or international bodies.

Dan believes in peace through strength, necessitating a robust national defense. 

He opposes funding or engaging in unnecessary foreign wars and rejects warrantless invasions of Americans' privacy in the name of national security, domestic extremism, or public health.
