I'm running for Congress to make a difference in helping to restore and protect our fundamental core beliefs and principles that have made America such a great Country. This is a task I look forward to and I'm the most qualified person to accomplish that goal. For 25 years I have resided in our District. While earning an honors degree in both Government and International Relations from Dartmouth College, I studied in Europe, interned for a longtime Senator in Washington D.C., for the Federal Community Action Program in Hawaii, and at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Post graduate studies were in Media Production at New York University. We face major problems, from ineffective regulation, excessive often inappropriate taxes, to debilitating bureaucratic bottlenecks, all of which are getting worse with extreme political fighting in Congress. Spending accelerates in the face excessive waste, over inflation hurts everyone, parental rights are needlessly threatened, public safety dangerously compromised, our borders are chaotic instead of historically secure environments, and America's international relations are more fragile than ever. Local businesses and jobs are not being sufficiently supported and our essential Constitutional freedoms are threatened on a daily basis.

Campaign website
Reiss' campaign website stated the following:

School Educational Choice & Parental Rights Educational choice is an opportunity that should be available for all families in order to achieve a promising future for their children. Every child deserves a chance and when parents can choose, their children will have a better chance at a quality education and a better life. Small Business Small businesses are the heartbeat of America and our Community. Locally our small businesses and the entrepreneurs who run them create valuable jobs that stimulate our community’s economy by keeping revenues right in our own backyard and help support our families and neighborhoods. Small businesses are feeling the impact of inflation and are being hit with dramatic rises in costs of goods and services, labor shortages and supply chain issues. We need to protect our small businesses locally by supporting them with our patronage and legislatively through deregulation, tax cuts and measures to insure that they can remain successfully in business. Agriculture We need to protect locally and nationally our farmers and ranchers and their abilities to produce in order to insure an abundance in harvests and food products. Our farmers and ranchers not only feed us as a nation, they create vital jobs, economic growth and large trade exports, which all lead to greater prosperity. Because of them we have domestic security in food and the ability to provide food aid to those in need, both domestically and abroad. We need to protect what we often take for granted by protecting our water resources, keeping America energy independent and de-escalating run-away inflation that is impacting every American. Fair and Simple Tax Codes The establishment of a fair and simple pro-growth tax code that will stimulate and promote economic growth and create jobs. This is an paramount factor in bringing our economy and families back to prosperity and provide an opportunity for those seeking the American dream. Energy Independence As a Nation we have the most domestic energy resources of any country in the world. Those resources are clean, affordable and abundant and come in many forms such as oil, natural gas, coal and well as solar, nuclear and hydro power. Under the current administration we are being forced to give up our energy independence through knee-jerk executive orders and out of touch domestic and foreign policies. This has dramatically increased energy prices to our people and businesses and it has cost our country jobs, economic prosperity and trade opportunities. We need to get our energy independence back quickly and return the power to the free market economy without subsidies and onerous regulations. Border Security and Safety Vigilant border security is critical to preserving a safe and secure America. Our safety is being compromised more and more every day. By increasing security along our land and coastal borders we have a better opportunity to safeguard our citizens and legal immigrants from the illegal entry of undocumented immigrants, drug and weapon smugglers and terrorists. Public Safety and Support of Our Police and First Responders Our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics support is critical to insure the safety and well being of everyone who live in our communities. Whether responding to an individual incident or a disaster, they risk their own well being on a daily basis to make sure that our families are safe and secure. Our Military Troops and Veterans Our military is there for us in times of peace and times of crisis. They are men and women that come from all walks of life and all communities and are dedicated to serving and protecting our great Nation. We need to show our support of them by restoring and increasing the resources that they need to do their jobs in protecting us and to provide them and their families with the pay, the benefits, including housing, healthcare and education that they deserve. This support also applies to our Veterans and to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.[3] |
