Putting America First.

Sovereignty, prosperity, and ordered liberty — for Americans first. The simple proposition that American government exists to serve Americans.

America First is not isolationism. It is not nostalgia. It is the proposition that American government exists to serve the American people — and that every policy decision must finally answer that question.

For a generation, both parties built a foreign policy, a trade policy, an immigration policy, and a domestic-policy consensus that quietly answered a different question: what serves the institutions of the international order, the multinationals that operate above it, and the credentialed class that runs both? That answer left ordinary Americans paying the bill in jobs, in security, and in trust.

Republicans answer the original question. Elect Republicans funds the candidates who pass that test on every vote — and the year-round Republican infrastructure that makes the test the standard the party is judged by.

Six tests every Republican vote should pass.

  1. 01

    Citizens first.

    The American government exists to serve the American people. That is not a controversial proposition. It is the founding proposition. Every law, every dollar, every deployment is judged by whether it serves them.

  2. 02

    Workers first.

    Trade, immigration, and tax policy that put the American worker at the center — not the multinational corporation, not the global supply chain, not the speeches at Davos.

  3. 03

    Laws enforced as written.

    A republic in which the laws on the books are not the laws being enforced is a republic that has lost the consent of the governed. Republicans enforce the law without apology.

  4. 04

    Foreign policy that serves Americans.

    Alliances are tools. Wars are last resorts. Aid is a means, not a virtue. Every foreign-policy decision passes through one filter: does it make Americans safer, more prosperous, or freer?

  5. 05

    Borders that mean borders.

    A line on a map without enforcement is a suggestion. America First begins with a country that decides who comes in and who does not — and acts on that decision.

  6. 06

    A confident, undivided national identity.

    America is one country, with one constitution, and one shared inheritance. The ideologies that demand we hyphenate that identity have nothing to offer the working family that simply wants to live in it.
