Case Lawrence, a successful businessman and adjunct professor at BYU, has announced his candidacy for Colorado's Congressional District 3 [e097a900]. Lawrence's decision to run for political office stems from his personal journey and his concern that the American Dream is slipping away. He aims to restore the American Dream by focusing on three key priorities: getting the fiscal house in order, securing U.S. borders, and unleashing the American economy.
Lawrence believes that the government needs to spend less than it brings in, cut unaffordable programs, and fix the country's addiction to debt. He also emphasizes the importance of securing the U.S. border and addressing the volume of illegal immigration and the presence of individuals on the U.S. Terrorism Watchlist attempting to cross the border. Additionally, Lawrence highlights the need to make housing affordable again and reestablish domestic energy independence through fewer regulations and substantive permitting reform. He recommends extending the 2017 Small Business Tax Deduction for small and new businesses.
Lawrence's bid for Congress is driven by his desire to restore the America that restored him [e097a900].
In Illinois, Thomas Clatterbuck, a Republican candidate for the 13th congressional race, discusses various issues including US involvement in foreign conflicts, the lack of passage of the US Farm Bill, and America's immigration policy [97489d2a]. Clatterbuck emphasizes the importance of bringing conflicts to a successful conclusion with minimal bloodshed, supporting the renewal of the Farm Bill to benefit farmers and urban communities, and addressing the need for sufficient personnel to make the immigration system function effectively. He also explains the reasons behind the House of Representatives' failure to pass a border security bill and expresses his campaign's focus on a substantive platform for rebuilding industry and regulating technology. Clatterbuck aims to challenge Democratic incumbent Rep. Nikki Budzinski in the November general election.
Both Lawrence and Clatterbuck are driven by their desire to address key issues and make a positive impact in their respective congressional districts.

Webb supports stricter immigration laws and finishing the border wall. His campaign is largely self-financed, and he has no prior ties to politics.
