Why should voters elect you?
Conservative, taxpayer advocacy and business organizations confirm that I have consistently voted for less taxes, less spending, less regulations and to protect Americans' constitutional rights.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Personal economic security is always the most urgent priority for voters. Federal government policies can help or hurt our local economy. Less taxes, less spending and less regulations help Americans create and obtain more and better-paying jobs. Businesses and entrepreneurs create jobs. Taxpayers know better than bureaucrats how to wisely spend the money they work hard to earn. I have supported and will continue to work with my colleagues to cut wasteful government spending.
