- Implementing Tax Reform and Ensuring a Free Market
- Increase the Freedom and Prosperity of the West Virginian People
- Staying Tough on Crime
Being a business-friendly state with an excellent economy. Ensuring that businesses and West Virginians have access to capital to drive investment, job creation, and economic security. Getting rid of the income tax, lowering the property tax, and reducing unnecessary tax burdens on the West Virginian people. Overregulation in the business sector hampers growth and discourages investment and the foundation of new business. Fostering a free market system, get rid of our unnecessary spending, increase economic opportunities, and lower barriers to entry for new businesses.
Increasing the freedom and prosperity of the West Virginian people. Allowing them to make choices for themselves and their families without the excess control of the government. We must realize that West Virginians know what's best for themselves and not some faraway person in a government building. As Ronald Reagan once said, the scariest words you could ever hear are, "Hello, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
I look up to Ronald Reagan and his example for the Republican party. Acknowledging Ronald Reagan's two defining characteristics – he genuinely liked people and he was at ease with himself. Meeting new people was never a chore for President Ronald Reagan. He actually enjoyed campaigning, not just because it allowed him to express his political views on important subjects, but also because it allowed him to interact with people. It was clear in his eyes. When he shook hands and said a few words, he had a special gleam in his eyes. He wasn't just "doing the right thing." He listened to what others had to say and considered what he could do to assist. When he returned to his limousine or Air Force One, he would frequently turn to an aide and say, "There was a man back there who...", detailing the person's situation and asking what might be done.
He never allowed his ego stand in the way of his accomplishments. It wasn't all about him all of the time. President Ronald Reagan maintained a little plaque on his desk in the Oval Office that read, "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he does not mind who gets the credit." That was evident in everything he did. It was next to a sign that read, "It CAN Be Done." The President left it there to remind himself and visitors that everything was possible in America, and that we were only limited by our imaginations.
I have always admired his willingness to get things done and fight for people, not just play politics. I admired that about him and wished to follow his example.
I am not a politician, thank goodness. Politicians don’t do anything but talk. I will be your voice. Those of you who have been forgotten will no longer be forgotten. I will listen to the people and not just brush them off to the side. Allowing people to be heard is a pretty special thing, that people value.
I believe what makes me different is that I am an individual that profoundly and genuinely cares for the people of West Virginia and this state. One that is willing to work for the people of West Virginia and accomplish great things together, and not just provide empty talk. I am not the typical politician at all. I'm a college student that stands nothing to gain from running for office. I am doing it because I care about our state. I believe that everyone has underestimated West Virginia, and our greatest days are yet to come. And we have the opportunity of a lifetime to propel our state to new levels that we haven't seen before.
I believe that compromise is desireable when it comes to policymaking yet it shouldnt be necessary. There are some things that we shouldnt waiver from in the name of compromise or togetherness. Policymaking takes all of us and there are many roles that go into it to create a piece of legislation that creates a better good for all West Virginians. As Dennis Prager said "Compromise, while at times morally necessary or at least justifiable, is more often only the first permission for a person (or society) to begin a long downhill descent."
