Priority Issues:
I want an efficient and effective government where everyone has an opportunity for a strong education and has the ability to develop in a career and/or use their entrepreneurial spirit to start and grow a business. That means that all aspects of government need to be efficient and provide value added services, taxes need to be simplified and lowered to promote growth, legislation and regulation needs to be simplified to support business development, and resources need to be available to continuously improve the educational system and provide opportunities for our children as well as our adult population.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I believe America is Great and it was made great by people just like you, don't you ever lose site of that. I want to improve budgeting processes, regulations, and the tax system to help the United States become even more effective while reducing long term costs. The result will be improvements in services and elimination of deficits and a reduction in federal debt. This will improve the stability of Social Security and provide resources to cure diseases as well as provide adequate healthcare to citizens.
