As a solid conservative, Richard is certain of one thing: Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. That's why Richard has pledged to never increase taxes as a member of Congress. With a federal budget deficit of nearly 2 Trillion Dollars and a national debt upwards of 15 Trillion Dollars, Richard believes it is long past time for conservatives to draw a line in the sand. We can count on him to fight to restore fiscal sanity to Washington, DC. Washington is broken and we need conservative solutions and steadfast leadership to fix it. Richard will provide that leadership.
