Republican vs. Democrat

---

I believe the core difference between Republicans and Democrats lies in our approach to government’s role in the lives of Americans. As a Republican, I stand for individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise, and a constitutional government that empowers people—not one that controls them. I believe the Democratic Party has increasingly supported policies that expand federal authority, create dependency, and erode the rights guaranteed by our founding documents. My commitment is to a government that defends life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by protecting freedom, encouraging innovation, and ensuring that progress is achieved through opportunity—not mandates.
