Why should voters elect you? "I support our troops and their families with programs like Operation Hero Miles. I will fight for the district, the state and our nation."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction? "Our current fiscal policies have plunged our country further into debt. This debt and our growing deficit will negatively impact current and future generations. The growing deficit means less education funding, less money for health care, and less resources for our armed forces and our homeland security. What we need is a true economic program that works. We need to put money back into the pockets of middle-class America. We need tax cuts for businesses to hire new workers and to contain the rising cost of health care. Sound fiscal policy is the only way to grow and protect our country."
