Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Yes

“Supporting workers and defending them against ruthless, market-driven automation is crucial.”

No

“Stifling markets with rent seeking legislation only leads to a long-term decrease in wealth growth, hurting the poor much more than the wealthy.”

“The "Automation Transition Rights Act" is nothing but a disguised tax - a desperate attempt by the Left to stifle progress under the weight of paralyzing bureaucracy. History is clear: technological advancement is not a threat, it is the engine of national greatness. Trying to slow down automation with mandatory "transition rights" condemns our companies to stagnation and hands a decisive advantage to foreign rivals who aren't waiting for unions to give them the green light to innovate. We do not want a nation of workers hooked on government handouts, living in fear of the future. We want bold citizens and a shock-driven economy. Automation must be guided by the market, not by socialist dirigisme. Those who seek to protect the past against the future will end up losing both. By rejecting this act, we choose excellence and competitiveness. Progress belongs to the strong, not the cautious!”
