Why should voters elect you?
"I share the same conservative values of fiscal responsibility, ending illegal immigration and winning the global war on terror as the voters in the district."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The lack of fiscal responsibility in Washington is the most important issue facing my district. Politicians in Washington are raising taxes and wastefully spending billions of taxpayer dollars. Unlike my opponents, as a state senator I have opposed every single statewide tax increase and every Democrat-sponsored big-spending budget. As a member of Congress, I will vote against every single tax increase and I will lead the fight to eliminate wasteful spending in the form of earmarks. I will also fight to eliminate government handouts to illegal immigrants in all forms, just like I have done as a state senator."
