The pattern is unmistakable. Every time the government tries to spend to make something more affordable, it just raises the cost. Look at this chart every time a socialist promises they will spend their way out of our affordability crisis.

And what causes inflation? Government deficit spending. That “free” stuff the Left is after is anything but free.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out in Ames this week to support @ZachLahn and join @RandPaul for this special event! Senator Paul is putting his time, energy, and personal support behind Zach Lahn—and Zach is the ONLY candidate for governor Senator Paul is hitting the ground for this election cycle. That speaks volumes. There is something truly special about Zach, his vision for Iowa, and the movement he’s building. The momentum is real, the support is growing, and we’re just getting started. Thank you to everyone who showed up, spread the word, and is helping make this campaign something special. Keep pushing forward and bring a new kind of leadership to Iowa! #Freedom #Peace #Prosperity #IowaFirst #IowaGovernor Watch Senator Paul’s message here:

Senator Rand Paul warns against falling for Democratic politicians who claim to be “moderate,” pointing to what happened in Kentucky. “We’re a Republican state… somehow we got a Democrat governor.” “He pretends to be a moderate, but during the pandemic, he decided that he would issue an executive order in March of 2020.” “He banned people going to church.” “He specifically forbade anyone going to a drive through church and sitting in their car outside.” “When people chose to disobey him… he sent the state police to take down their license plates.” @SenRandPaul

Kentucky really is God’s country! Been on the road across Eastern Kentucky with @KelleyAshbyPaul meeting with local tourism leaders on my project to increase tourism in this part of our beautiful Commonwealth.

The socialist agenda means higher taxes, more spending, and less freedom, and the best way to stop it is at the ballot box. Early voting starts today in Kentucky. Any registered voter can vote in person today, tomorrow, or Saturday. Locations and hours vary by county, so check before you go: elect.ky.gov/Voters/Pages/Po…

Families are already paying more for groceries, gas, and rent. The DSA’s answer is more government spending. That’s like fighting a fire with gasoline. Inflation is a spending problem, and socialism only makes it worse.

Federal investigators have identified 405 people they believe are not U.S. citizens who voted in Washington state elections. These people cast more than 1,500 ballots over multiple elections. It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. breitbart.com/midterm-electi…

Top earners make less than half of all income and pay over 83% of all income taxes. When the Left says the rich need to pay their “fair share,” ask them what number would finally be enough. They never have an answer.

The best government governs the least. That is what the Founders believed, and it is what Iowa needs in its next governor. @ZachLahn gets it. He is a Republican who thinks for himself and will defend your liberty every day he is in office. I am honored to endorse him.

A tariff is a tax. China or Canada doesn’t pay it. Farmers, American manufacturers, and families at the checkout counter pay it. I oppose blanket tariffs and support free, fair trade that benefits every American.

Gavin Newsom says “the system’s broken” and we need to “completely reimagine” it. His answer? Democratic socialism. That’s not bold change. It’s the same old promise of free stuff, and the price is always your liberty. A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to control everything. America isn’t broken. Washington is. The fix is following the Constitution. townhall.com/news/kyleolson/…

Families are already dealing with high prices. The last thing they need is more government spending, which is exactly what socialist-backed candidates want. I believe that history shows where that road leads: higher taxes, less opportunity, and economic decline. Real reform comes from free markets, limited government, and individual liberty.

Only citizens should vote in American elections. Every ballot cast by a noncitizen cancels out the vote of a lawful American. Washington state should hand over its voter rolls and let investigators do their jobs. States that stonewall federal investigators are asking voters to trust that their elections are secure. Their word alone isn’t good enough.
Breaking: First Assistant US DOJ Attorneys for Washington state, Neil Floyd and Pete Serrano, announce that investigators have found over 400 cases of noncitizens voting in state and federal elections. The DOJ prosecutors claim that WA state is refusing to cooperate and hand over voter rolls. They believe the number of noncitizens voting is much higher — in the thousands.

Every family has to decide what it can afford. Washington never does. The national debt is over $40 trillion, and it keeps growing while both parties vote for more spending. My Six Penny Plan is simple: cut six cents from every dollar the federal government spends, and balance the budget in five years. That is real reform.

Socialism promises security and delivers dependence on Big Government. The more the government controls, the less control you have over your own life. I’ve spent my career defending liberty. Now I'm asking YOU to do the same on Election Day! Make a plan to vote early or on November 3rd: elect.ky.gov/Voters/Pages/Po…
