Joey Osborne is a life-long conservative, active in Republican politics for more than 45 years. He is a businessman whose companies employee more than 600 Americans and have served more than two million customers. Joey believes in smaller government, lower taxes and less regulation. He's dedicated to bringing more, better paying jobs to western NC. Like President Trump, Joey's more than 40 years of business experience bring to Washington exceptional budget skills. Just like he does everyday for his own companies, Joey is dedicated to cutting and balancing the U.S. budget. Joey feels that for far too long the Washington elite have been squandering away Americas' hard-earned prosperity and he is committed to bringing control of government spending back to the people. Joey is pro-life, pro-gun and pro-constitution.

  • Joey Osborne is committed to a balanced budget for America.


  • Joey Osborne believes there are far too many growth-stifling regulations in government and will support Donald Trump in his effort to reduce them.


  • As a member of Congress Joey Osborne will support Donald Trump in advocating for lower taxes and replacing Obama care.

Joey Osborne is passionate about reducing the size of government. He feels that private sector solutions to America's needs are nearly always better than government managed solutions. Joey is for lower taxes and the repeal of Obama care.

Joey especially looks up to his grandparents who were hard working, church going community supporting Americans. Joey follows the example set by his step-father who was a career Army, Vietnam war veteran who never complained and cared more for others than for himself.

The core responsibilities of Representatives is to support and abide by the constitution of the United States while representing the wishes of his/her constituency.

The first major historical event to impact Joey Osborne was the resignation of Richard Nixon. Joey was 14 years old at the time.

Joey Osborne's first job started in 1972 when he was 12 years old. He worked during the summer months at a gas station when he was out of school. He was paid $8 per day and bought a new bike after his second week on the job.

Power of Intention. The book teaches that with positively directed intention anything can be achieved.

By design the US House of Rep. is to be the direct voice of the people.

The present state of dysfunction in Congress is indicative of the fact that we do not need more experienced politicians in government.

One of my major emphasis is to remove needless regulation and reduce the size of government. I will seek to serve on committees that serve that purpose.

I believe the framers of the constitution built a perfectly adequate and well-thought system for term limits by having elections every two years.
