Why should voters elect you?
"After a quarter-century of worsening traffic congestion and taxes, we need a change. I oppose Plum's county income tax, higher gas tax and increased density/traffic."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"I oppose Ken Plum's rail plan to allow developers to 'density pack' more development and traffic into already-congested areas. I disagree with Plum's statement to business interests that 'density is not a bad word.' We can get traffic moving with smart mass transit like bus rapid transit. I oppose Plum's plans for a county income tax [House Bill 770] and massive gas tax increases. I signed the taxpayer protection pledge with U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman witnessing. I also will introduce legislation keeping predators away from kids and repealing parole/probation for pedophiles."
