Statement: Like many of you... I don’t exactly fit the stereotypical political box. I see the balance of being conservative with our tax dollars and spending wisely… yet see the need to responsibly invest in education and the health and safety of our people.
We need to maintain leaner, more effective and balanced government budgets, but also care for our most vulnerable neighbors, as well as our veterans. I believe that with freedom comes the responsibility to live within our means, protect our families, and strengthen the values that God has blessed us with, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
