Downsizing Government

The government should be on our side, not in our way. For too long, excessive regulations have held back local communities and small businesses. That’s why James Buford is committed to cutting the red tape and giving more control to local leaders. When the government gets out of the way, people and communities thrive. James is focused on making the government work smarter, not bigger, so that it’s more responsive to the needs of its citizens.

The following Executive Orders focus on reducing the size, scope, and cost of the federal bureaucracy and ensuring efficiency and accountability. James will work to ensure that these are signed into law.

Balancing the Budget

It’s time to get serious about our nation’s financial health. Just like a household or a business, our government can’t keep spending more than it takes in. James is committed to bringing financial discipline back to Washington by focusing on balancing the budget and eliminating wasteful spending. We can no longer afford to pass the burden of debt onto future generations. James will prioritize responsible spending, making sure taxpayer dollars are used wisely, and that we start building a future that’s financially sustainable for all Americans.
