Since starting my own business at the age of 9, I have always believed that free enterprise provides the best way to promote job creation and personal opportunity. Free enterprise is the foundation of American success. I will use the Office of State Treasurer to be an advocate for conservative economic principles, such as free enterprise, limited government and personal liberty. I look forward to being a voice for these common-sense economic principles on the boards that the State Treasurer sits on, including the board of the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, the State Investment Commission, and the lottery board.
