On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The economy. The weak economy is because of uncertainty over fears of rising debt, potential tax increases and burdensome regulations that kill jobs. We need to empower our small businesses to create jobs by reducing taxes, reining in government spending and cutting the red tape that gets in the way of economic growth. I am a conservative Republican who will oppose higher taxes, work to get traffic moving, help our small businesses create jobs and cut wasteful government spending. Limited government and traditional values are what our nation was founded upon and that will lead us to prosperity.
Why should voters elect you?
I am a principled conservative Republican who understands that government isn't the answer to our problems. I will fight for small businesses and families in Richmond.
