Issue Position

Latimer County's unemployment rate is over 6% -- triple the statewide average. To protect jobs and create new opportunities here at home, we need leaders who will make better decisions in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma has much to offer with abundant natural resources and a determined workforce. Sadly, big government policies throw up roadblocks for our small businesses and family farms, meaning local job creators must work harder to keep the lights on and provide family-supporting job opportunities. As a farmer and small business owner, I reject the idea that the solution for growing our economy is "more government." Instead, I'll work to get government out of the way of the hardworking Oklahomans who form the cornerstone of our local economy and hold the keys to lasting economic growth and prosperity.
