Other Info

Priority Issues:

I would describe myself as a commonsense conservative. I believe in efficient and effective government that spends money wisely on important state priorities. However, it must also be held in check to ensure personal responsibility and to protect individual liberties.

On social issues, I am pro-life and support traditional marriage. I am a strong supporter of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

One reason I am running is government was designed by our founding fathers to have regular day-to-day-citizens become representatives and keep government focus on its limited role.
