Ted Brown

Supports repealing the federal income tax and abolishing the IRS, combining that change with major spending cuts; he also opposes tariffs as consumer taxes and supports restoring congressional control over trade.

Supports free-market health care through medical savings accounts, tax deductions for health expenses, interstate insurance sales, limited catastrophic policies, private-sector drug certification in place of the FDA, and drug purchases from other countries.

Supports bringing troops home from foreign assignments, ending foreign military interventions, withdrawing from NATO and other entangling alliances, ending foreign aid payments, and voting against military appropriations for overseas deployments.

Supports congressional approval before executive orders or emergency declarations take effect, automatic sunset clauses and periodic renewal of emergency powers, protections against indefinite detention, and time-limited emergency funding with legislative oversight.

Supports abolishing the federal Department of Education, using tuition tax credits for private-school families, and expanding charter schools and homeschooling as part of separating school and state.

Opposes government-mandated age verification, digital identification, social-credit systems, internet censorship, and broad surveillance, and supports Fourth Amendment protection for data held by third parties.

Supports ending the War on Drugs, mandatory minimums, police militarization, no-knock warrants, and qualified immunity, while moving police-misconduct investigations to state attorney general offices and keeping police out of non-criminal situations.
