#### Campaign website[edit]

Henry's campaign website stated the following:

“  |

Financial Stability

* Stabilize and reduce federal agency budgets
* Cease funding for ineffective programs and excess subsidies
* Prevent and prosecute government fraud, waste, and abuse at all levels
* Grow and promote U.S. businesses
* Reduce administrative needs for permits and licensing and adjust for many career fields
* Liquidate government owned unused real property

Defense and Veterans Care

* Strong National Defense for our protection and emergencies
* Reduce and eventually end foreign conflict and costly overseas contingency operations
* Submit legislation for my E-Vet Prompt Care Plan to expand existing VA community healthcare access for veterans, and better integrate records, billing, and coding for community healthcare to accept VA patients promptly for emergencies and other issues related to service connected disabilities

Full Medical Freedom

* Define and resolve Personal Sovereignty
* Regain 100% of individual medical and personal decisions
* More over the counter birth control available to prevent pregnancies, age-appropriate education, encourage strengthening of family units, and parental responsibility
* Demand independent review of the vaccine approval process and analytical research data
* End federal cannabis prohibition, resolve all past records, and rescind federal code

Afghan citizens were left unarmed and defenseless after U.S. and Coalition Forces took all the semiautomatic and small arms weapons from the citizens. We must protect our right to access firearms, with no compromise. We learned how quickly a government can fail and enemies can conquer a territory by simply looking at what the U.S. and Coalition Forces did in Afghanistan. After a hasty and sloppy withdraw, the Taliban simply took back over with no time to spare.[3]

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

* Financial Stability – • Reduce agency budgets, reduce fraud, waste, and abuse • Grow and promote U.S. businesses • Reduce regulatory hurdles and foreign trade dependence
* Defense and Veterans Care – • Strong National Defense for our protection and emergencies • Reduce and eventually end foreign conflict and costly overseas contingency operations and contracts • Expand community healthcare programs for veterans, and better integrate records, billing, and coding for community healthcare
* Full Medical Freedom – • Define and resolve personal sovereignty • Regain individual medical and personal decisions • Demand independent review of the vaccine approval and research data • End federal cannabis prohibition

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Financial Stability 1\. Remain vocal and resist increases in overall federal taxation and budgeting. Demand all federal agencies audit and prepare to reduce costs immediately. 2\. Introduce legislation calling for reductions to regulatory roadblocks and taxes for all levels of business growth here on U.S. soil. This will encourage competition and increase U.S. manufacturing and production to grow our economy, reducing our need and dependence on foreign products. Without sacrificing our environment, we can increase our internal wealth, see better product quality, and increase the overall dollar value. 3\. I will work directly with national financial organizations to immediately and independently assess all government programs and agencies. An independent detailed review of financial data would help identify potential waste and help reduce the scope of government spending in the agencies evaluated. This includes reductions in personnel, property, physical assets, and facilities across all federal departments and agencies.

Defense and Veterans Care 1\. Support readiness for the U.S. to maintain the strongest and best trained all-volunteer military force for OUR National Defense, while calling for reductions in exorbitant spending and needless involvement in overseas contingency and combat operations. I would be vocal and vote against overseas contingency operations outside the scope of our government and challenge all combat and wartime operations outside the U.S. not approve
