Why is it important that Maverick PAC members remain engaged in politics?
It is our civic duty to engage in the political process by any means necessary, whether that be casting your ballot every election cycle, or pledging your support for candidates who will fight to uphold the values that make this nation great, and at the minimum, voting in each election in your community.
What is the future of the conservative movement and how can Maverick PAC members be impactful in that movement?
As a West Point graduate and combat veteran, service is what drives me. We must continue to elect strong, conservative military veterans at the local, state, and federal levels of government who have dedicated their lives to fighting for the rights of the American people. I encourage all Maverick PAC members to phone bank, block walk, or volunteer in whatever capacity their favorite candidates need help with the most.
What are the top five issues Maverick PAC members should watch this year that will impact their industries and lives?
I believe that securing our southern border is absolutely essential to maintaining our way of life in the United States. By securing our southern border, we can help prevent the deaths of roughly 100,000 Americans who overdose on fentanyl annually. In addition, Republicans in Congress must continue to fight against the war President Joe Biden has waged on our Oil and Industry, which has been a leading cause to the skyrocketing inflation we have seen since he entered the White House. These are two of the biggest issues facing our country that need to be addressed immediately.
