I feel it is less important who I am and more important what I believe that will give a clue as to how I will represent you.
I believe that every individual is the sole owner of their own life and has the moral right to make all decisions concerning their life and property, providing those decisions do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same.
Governments are instituted to protect these fundamental rights and should be strictly limited to that task. I believe that Less Government and Lower taxes will afford individuals the opportunity to accept more responsibility for their own lives.

We will never be able to correct the financial mess in Washington until we can control spending at the local level.
