In a recent survey, I asked constituents what they believed the top three issues Congress should be focusing on. A vast majority of individuals who participated indicated that the national debt and federal spending should be the nation’s top priority. I want you to know I am taking this seriously. I voted for Paul Ryan’s budget proposal, which will cut our debt by $6.2 trillion over the next ten years. This is only the beginning. See below for the full results of the survey:
| Issue | Percentage % |
| National debt and federal spending | 29.25% |
| Illegal immigration and border security | 17.05% |
| Economy and Job Creation | 16.84% |
| Energy Independence and gas prices | 14.84% |
| Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid | 10.83% |
| National Security | 8.09% |
| Other | 3.09% |
