Help Israel defend itself against attacks from Iran
“America has a strong ally in Israel. Austin believes the United States must continue providing critical support as Israel faces ongoing threats from Iran, Hamas, and other hostile actors in the Middle East.”

Counter Chinese government influence inside the United States
“Austin helped draft the SAFE KIDS Act while working with Senator Rick Scott. This legislation tackles a serious problem of Chinese billionaires and Chinese Communist Party officials quietly buying American children birthed by U.S. surrogates in our country and indoctrinating these children to grow up with anti-American views.”
“After discussing the issue with him, he took immediate and decisive action, and I helped draft the legislation that was ultimately introduced. The SAFE KIDS Act became the first ever surrogacy bill authored in the United States Senate. The bill cracks down on surrogacy contracts entered into with citizens of our fiercest adversaries, including China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.”
“As a candidate for Congress in my home district of Florida’s 2nd Congressional District, I regularly discuss this issue with voters as a clear example of why confronting the China threat must remain a top American foreign policy priority.”

“The SAFE KIDS Act would close this loophole and end this citizenship‑for‑cash pipeline. Its passage is needed to protect our families, our children, and our national security.”
“It’s no secret that China is America’s number one adversary. For years, the Chinese Communist Party has worked to undermine our country, through intellectual property theft, unfair trade practices, threats against our allies like Taiwan, and growing cooperation with hostile regimes such as Russia and Iran.”
“I’ve worked on legislation with Senator Scott on addressing a rising number of surrogacy services catering exclusively to Chinese nationals who want American-born children.”
“Because of our current birthright citizenship jurisprudence and lack of legal guardrails, we have a pipeline of American citizens being born to surrogates, then shipped to Chinese billionaires and CCP officials. It’s a massive human trafficking issue, and it’s a massive national security threat.”
“This trend represents a massive national security threat that Americans need to be paying attention to. Under the United States’ current birthright citizenship jurisprudence, every one of these children shipped to China is a U.S. citizen by birth. Most will be raised in China. We are therefore selling American children to our fiercest adversary. In eighteen years, due to the unregulated nature of surrogacy and the current state of U.S. law, this means that we will have fighting age men and women who have been indoctrinated by our bitterest rival yet enjoying the benefits of United States citizenship.”
“This national security threat demands immediate attention from Congress. That said, even though most of the West regulates surrogacy in some fashion, international surrogacy remains almost entirely unregulated in the United States.”
“Whenever we are talking about the future of AI, we must realize that there are legitimate concerns about workforce displacement that must be addressed, just as there are reasonable guardrails that must be considered.”
Keep the U.S. leading the world in AI and new technology
Protect American technology and inventions from theft
“Austin, like President Trump, believes that America must win the race for Artificial Intelligence (AI) against foreign adversaries like China. The future of economic strength, national security, and technological leadership depends on it.”
“Austin supports policies that keep AI innovation in the United States, protect American intellectual property, and prevent foreign adversaries from gaining the upper hand.”
“I also share the perspective expressed by Vice President JD Vance at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris: We should not approach AI through a lens of fear, but through a lens of opportunity. America must win the race against China.”
“We can’t win the AI race without building the needed infrastructure here at home. That means investing in and utilizing the American workforce to build it, oversee it, and ensure the technology companies we use to create that infrastructure do so while respecting the principles of free speech, innovation, and our shared American values.”

“Austin has worked on legislation to strengthen protections for minors and has participated in congressional hearings holding social media companies accountable for the harm their platforms can cause. He understands that Big Tech must be held responsible when children are put at risk.”
“It’s clear that the United States is locked in a race with China for leadership in AI, similar to the space race we had against the Soviets in the 1960s, but with potentially much more at stake. This competition between rival nations will shape economic power, national security, and global influence for centuries to come.”
“But we also have to acknowledge the race for AI supremacy for what it is — a race against our biggest adversary. I don’t believe we should take a gloom-and-doom view of AI, but I do understand the concerns that others have.”
Make border security policies permanent, whoever is president
“Guided by faith, family, and service, Austin Rogers is running to secure the border, defend Florida values, back law enforcement and the military, and put American families first.”
“In Congress, Austin will work alongside President Trump and Republican leaders to codify strong border security policies into law so that our border remains secure — and that no future administration can undo these protections that keep our nation safe.”
“In Congress, he will work hand-in-hand with President Trump to pass commonsense legislation that strengthens our economy, keeps our border secure, supports our military and law enforcement, and protects our most cherished freedoms — while stopping bad bills before they ever become law.”
“it cannot be the case that the letter of the law, like what we have inscribed into law, is not ‘come and go as you please. You come here illegally, and we cannot do anything about it.’ That cannot be the case. That is a nonsensical position.”
“The law on the books cannot be, ‘come and go,’ and the law on the books cannot be, ‘have as much weed as you want.’ I do not think that is a reasonable approach. That being said, it is up to enforcers to decide, within their discretion, how to enforce it, and I hope that they will do that with wisdom.”
“Austin believes President Trump’s swift action to secure the border in the early months of his second term stands as one of the administration’s most important victories.”
“He will always stand for the sanctity of life and support pro life policies that protect the unborn. In Congress, he will be a strong voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves, and for the traditional family.”
“We should promote healthier lifestyles, encourage proper diet and exercise, and ensure that Americans have clear, transparent facts about what they are putting into their bodies.”
“Parents — not bureaucrats — should be the ultimate decision-makers when it comes to their children’s health care. Families deserve full information and the freedom to make informed choices for their own children.”
“But it has been overtaken by an industry that treats women’s bodies as rentable infrastructure, children as deliverable products, and American citizenship as something to be priced, packaged, and shipped. The surrogacy industry as it is currently constituted is modern day slavery and human trafficking. Until lawmakers impose meaningful regulation, an untold number of American children are already on their way to our fiercest enemies.”
“We can’t win the AI race without building the needed infrastructure here at home. That means investing in and utilizing the American workforce to build it, oversee it, and ensure the technology companies we use to create that infrastructure do so while respecting the principles of free speech, innovation, and our shared American values.”
Retrain workers whose jobs change or disappear, including from AI
“He also believes Americans should be equipped to harness these tools responsibly — expanding workforce training and education so more citizens can use AI to become more productive, competitive, and successful.”
“I agree that we must capitalize on the enormous opportunities AI presents for productivity and economic growth. But we cannot leave American workers behind in the process. If we are asking our workforce to help America win the global race for AI leadership, we must also equip them with the skills needed to succeed in that future.”
“That’s why I strongly support skilled job training that teaches workers how to use AI to enhance their work — not replace it. We should establish a strong baseline of education and training so American workers become more productive, more competitive, and never obsolete. We have to develop AI in a way that maintains and enhances the identity of workers who are made in the image of God, rather than undermining their God-given identities.”

“His work delivered real results for Northwest Florida, including supporting Eastern Shipbuilding, strengthening public safety efforts, and helping local fishermen and small businesses navigate federal red tape.”

“In Congress, he will work hand-in-hand with President Trump to pass commonsense legislation that strengthens our economy, keeps our border secure, supports our military and law enforcement, and protects our most cherished freedoms — while stopping bad bills before they ever become law.”
“He believes that what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, & Radical Left politicians did to open up our border to illegal alien invasion, drugs, human trafficking, and other criminal acts was a national disgrace.”

“I equate it sometimes to marijuana, where nobody wants anyone going to prison over having a joint, right? At least I don’t, or having like, a dime bag”
Stop the government from targeting people for their speech

“There are far too many unnecessary additives, artificial dyes, and questionable chemicals in our food and even in our drinking water. These substances are contributing to rising health problems, especially among our children. We have a right to know exactly what is in our food, and we must remove ingredients that are proven to be harmful.”

“He supports reasonable guardrails that protect consumers without picking winners and losers or empowering unelected bureaucrats to control emerging technologies. America should lead in financial innovation — while ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in the marketplace.”
