Why should voters elect you?
I will tirelessly support the Constitution and the American principles of freedom, self-government, a strong defense without nation-building and wise economics that promote enduring prosperity.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Having a representative in Congress that will work for constituents rather than ignoring their interests. These interests include eliminating corporatism and special interest spending, destructive economics that cause the falling dollar and putting national policy and decision making under the control of unelected trade and international bodies. As Americans, District 8 voters are also rightly concerned about international threats. However, restriction of rights at home and dated conventional force approaches abroad have not been successful and trample upon the Constitution. We need advocates in Congress to fight for 21st-century solutions to foreign threats while protecting our domestic liberties and prosperity.
