Life is getting way too expensive, way too quickly. While inflation has subsided greatly from the sustained levels during the last presidential administration, there is more work to be done amid positive geopolitical pressures.<br \/><br \/>Let me be clear: my #1 priority when getting to Washington, DC to serve as your congresswoman is to work tirelessly every single day to drive down costs for ordinary New Hampshire folks.<br \/><br \/>To that end, I will put more pressure to get special interests, corporations, and the Federal government out of managing the economy. Instead of pushing for public-private partnerships and regulations that seem only to end up helping politically-connected big players, I will endeavor to remove subsidies and red tape for all businesses, large and small, unleashing true market competition. We must allow the free market to thrive. Only then, do costs come down and real job growth and real prosperity naturally follow.<br \/><br \/>Also, the cost of energy has a huge impact on the prices we pay for so many things. We must declare energy freedom and allow access, with appropriate mechanisms to control pollution, to all of our available resources: nuclear, oil, solar, coal, and wind. We should not be in an either\/or political fight amongst ourselves on which energy sources to promote. Artificial energy restrictions not only do not make sense for national security (dependence on other countries), but it further divides and impoverishes the country.<br \/><br \/>Lastly, plain and simple, the government must reduce its spending; we must grow the economy and start paying down the national debt. Our children and grandchildren will thank us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9c73b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9c73b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><iframe title=\"Lily Tang Williams on Inflation &amp; National Debt  #nh02 #lily4congress\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7FGkds9PnKo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59fc7af e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"59fc7af\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e7109c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e7109c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Border Security<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:generateblocks\/headline --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Border security is essential for our national security. In recent years, Granite Staters have spoke loud and clear: We need to secure the border, enforce current laws, build necessary barriers to stop drug smuggling and human trafficking and prevent people who want to harm us from entering our country. It\u2019s simple: without a border, we no longer have a country.<br \/><br \/>Because legal immigration has become inextricably linked to illegal immigration, we must recognize that our legal immigration system needs reform. I am a proud LEGAL immigrant to America, and I will always support those trying to come this country the right way. To streamline the process and encourage people only to come here legally, those who insist on crossing the border illegally should be detained, identified, and sent back.
