I was born and raised in the 7th district. I am an Eagle Scout from Sharon Troop 511. I graduated from Highland High School. I married my college sweetheart from Wittenberg University. I am a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Managerial Accountant, and have a Masters in Business Administration. I have three children; my two girls are grown and out of the house, and my son currently attends Archbishop Hoban Highschool.
I have a nice life. However, none of this is a reason you trust me to represent you.
Far too often, politicians expect our support merely do to their party. I am a Democrat. I am a Republican. Of course, you need to pick a party in our two-party system. So I will be running in the Republican Party as a "Classic" Liberal. Words change meaning over time. In 1776, every American was a Liberal, as in "Liberty."- Taxation – move away from taxing productivity, hidden taxes, and favoring foreign competitors. I am for every citizen receiving 100% of what they earn and a fair tax system.
- Fiscal Responsibility – In the time of trillion-dollar spending sprees and a $30 trillion deficit, fiscal responsibility seems like an ancient principle. The problem is how we budget, all or nothing—no room for robust debate. There is a better and more logical approach.
- Education – Most of us are fortunate to have access to good schools, but there is no reason to be stuck in the educational monopoly if you were in a poor system. There are so many options on how to teach children. Give parents a choice where to spend their educational dollar.
