Personal Hero and Why:

Priority Issues:

My highest priorities are ?Keeping God in this Country? and ?Upholding and Defending the US Constitution?. My three main initiatives are, in no particular order: 1) Tax Reform that is highly focused on State?s Rights 2) Social Laws determined at the state level not in Washington (i.e. Constitutional Implementation) 3) Border Control. My seven key principles are: A Free market, Small and Local Governments, States' Rights and a Limited Federal Government, A Proper System of Checks and Balances, A Balanced and Approved Budget, Religious Freedom and The Family as the Fundamental Unit of Society.t

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Perhaps the first question that should come into every voter?s mind is why is this person running for office? What are the motives? What are the incentives?

I am running for office because I truly love this country and the Americans who make it great. I always have and I always will. I love the principles and philosophies this country was founded upon and for which it should still stand. I am an American, true blue, through and through. I believe most of our political leaders are moving us in the wrong direction and I want to try and do my part to bring us back to the principles and philosophies that made this country great.

I share the sentiments of a great leader, ?I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for the honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.?

I was born and raised in a small town of approximately 3,000 people. When I feel I have done all I can to contribute to the larger society, I want to return home and disappear into the beautiful mountains that surround that small town.

I am running as an outsider who is not shaped by the established, entrenched political connections, nor am I controlled by any special interest groups.

I am young, energetic and innovative. We need fresh vision and know-how, not politics as usual.

My diverse background in both domestic and international business equips me to navigate the dynamic corporate environment.

I am running as a practical problem solver. Experience in leadership, accounting and business have ingrained in me hard work and efficiency, qualities which government badly needs.

I am running for office because I enjoy being around people; I enjoy the political and civic process; I have no personal interest at stake; I want to make a difference and contribute. I love to work hard.

Spouse's Occupation:

Mother
