Why should voters elect you?

I will obey our Constitution and vote to cut spending and limit federal government.

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

We are overtaxed, over-regulated and overrun by bureaucrats. Our Founding Fathers would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with. Spending in Washington is out of control. The national debt is now over $9 trillion. That is 10 times what it was in 1981. Special interests have taken over and the general welfare of 'We the People' is being ignored. Our elected officials have broken their oath of office and should be sent home.
