Marjorie Taylor Greene's political objectives

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene's political objectives center on a far-right, "America First" populist agenda that aligns with her conservative, Christian nationalist ideology. She has focused on significantly reducing government power and spending, promoting conservative social policies, and limiting U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts.

 

Key Political Objectives

Fiscal Conservatism and Government Efficiency: Greene advocates for reduced government spending, lower taxes, and cutting what she views as waste, corruption, and "useless" parts of the federal government. She has advocated for measures like repealing certain tax provisions and eliminating entire federal agencies, such as the Department of Education.

Immigration and Border Security: A primary focus for Greene is strict border enforcement. Her objectives include finishing the wall on the U.S. southern border, abolishing sanctuary cities, deporting undocumented immigrants, and declaring a "war on the cartels". She has sponsored legislation to require proof of citizenship for voting and to eliminate certain visa programs, such as the H-1B program.

"America First" Foreign Policy: Greene is a critic of extensive U.S. foreign aid and military intervention, arguing that Congress should prioritize America's domestic issues over foreign causes. She has notably criticized U.S. support for Ukraine and Israel's war in Gaza, which she has called a genocide.

Conservative Social Policies: Greene takes staunchly conservative positions on social issues, identifying as anti-abortion and pro-gun rights. She supports legislation such as the "Life at Conception Act" and the "National Constitutional Carry Act," while opposing federal funding for abortion or gender transition procedures for minors.

Election Integrity: A key objective has been to restore what she calls "election integrity" by pushing for measures such as mandatory government photo ID for voting, paper ballots only, and single-day voting. She was a vocal supporter of the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Government Accountability: Greene has pursued extensive oversight of federal agencies and officials, including calling for investigations into U.S. assistance to Ukraine, the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and impeaching President Joe Biden and other officials. A notable objective has been the full, public release of all government files related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.

Combative Political Style: Greene's political approach itself is a core component of her strategy: she uses a combative and controversial style to gain national attention and build her brand as an unrepentant defender of the MAGA movement's base. She has aimed to push the Republican Party further to the right.

Greene announced in November 2025 that she would resign from Congress effective January 5, 2026, amid a public feud with Donald Trump over several policy issues, stating members should be able to "vote our conscience". Political analysts speculate she may be considering a future run for president.
