What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Unemployment is a serious problem, and the state must provide incentives and work with businesses to create jobs. In addition, regulations must be eased to foster an environment where new and existing businesses have the opportunity to succeed. This will increase employment and help to expand and grow the economy."
Why should voters elect you?
"As a small-business owner, I know the steps it takes to manage a budget: control spending and put people to work."
