Priority Issues:
Q: What are some of your legislative priorities?
"A lot of people who were coming up to me were business people just like I am; they want somebody that thinks the way they do, we realize how hard it is to make a living. I consider myself conservative, I don't want to do anything wasteful as far as our tax dollars. One of the biggest things that I campaigned on being a small business owner is our labor force.
We have a bad problem (in that) there are no qualified workers, and I believe it. I preached it and I campaigned on it, just helping solve that problem through education (with) dual enrollment, career tech, junior colleges and high schools working together. If you can get a kid trained in a field while they're still in high school, when he gets out they get paid more because they're not having to train him.
I'm living proof of you not having to use a four-year degree to make a good living. So, just trying to use some common sense and make the state work as good as we can for everybody."
