The federal and even certain facets of the local governments have grown exceedingly large and intrusive in the daily lives of Americans. As well-intended as they could be at conception, administrative structures, especially their higher echelons, became politicized, affected by corruption, and prone to waste and inefficiency. This must stop, firmly believes Cameron Hamilton, a Navy SEAL combat veteran and former division director at Homeland Security who is currently running to represent Virginia’s 7th Congressional district. 

In this interview with The New American, Mr. Hamilton reflects on reasons why external bureaucracy and ever-growing government are ill-suited mechanisms in times of crises and instability, while arguing that the strength and benevolence of individuals exercising their God-given rights and liberties prove to be the best tool in preserving the American republic. While stressing that there are lots of patriotic Americans working for the government, the candidate contended that various problems within it, such as the weaponization of federal law enforcement and broad inadequate spending, must be urgently addressed. One of the viable solutions would be the passing of cleaner bills specifically allocating funds for certain departments and programs rather than burying them within massive Omnibus spending bills. 

Mr. Hamilton also spoke of his involvement with Feds for Freedom, an organization with a mission to reform federal service to make it transparent and accountable. He also highlights the group’s legislative achievements, including their successful challenge against the Biden administration’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for federal workers and contractors.
