| Collapse all
I believe government has because too large to serve us rather than itself. Fear is used to keep the people trapped in a two party system that benefits only the government. I want to help break that cycle and restore to the people what is theirs.
- Taxes have skyrocketed with little to show for it.
- The education system is failing many of our children. You have the right to choose how you will educate your own.
- Constitutional rights are slowing being eroded while we are busy living.
Property rights and education are two areas I would like to focus efforts if elected.
I'm too old to look up to many any longer. I recognize everyone has strengths, weaknesses, and flaws.
Transparency, honesty, ethics, temperament
I'm a natural troubleshooter and problem solver. It's what I do best.
Putting constituents above self and government power.
The moon landing in 1969. I was 7.
As a teenager my first job was in a nursing home. My first adult job was as a chemical technician.
The Lord of the Rings. It is a magical story of heroism, love, and loyalty.
Tubthumpin. My granddaughter loves it.
As an adult with children and full time job, work life balance was always a struggle.
Attracting businesses to provide well paying jobs.
No. Career politicians have lost touch with the populace and are more interested in lobbyists and keeping their own jobs.
Yes. The best laws will have agreement from across the political spectrum.
Dad jokes are the best jokes.
Elementary and Secondary Education and Appropriations, Public Safety Law Enforcement and Veteran Affairs, Utilities Regulation, Children Families and Health
There is not enough transparency or accountability in government.
