Expand all | Collapse all

I am the pro-gun, pro-life, common sense conservative running for the Michigan State House of Representatives in the 107th district. I have been married for 30 yrs and we have two sons. I live in Dafter, MI, went to Lake Superior State University where I studied Biology, Fire Science, and shot on the school's rifle team. I currently own two small businesses. I have been the president of the Chippewa County Shooting Association for 16yrs and volunteer my time there as a certified Hunter Safety and firearms instructor. I am the son of ministers and am a life-long member of the Salvation Army, where my family goes to church.
  • Life is precious and must be protected from the time it begins.
  • Our strict gun laws infringe on our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
  • Our schools shoudl be equitably funded.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Stop importing workers so that citizens have a reasonable expectation of getting the job they seek after they have obtained their education. Reform regulations in order to incentivize the hiring and training of young employees.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Schools and transportation infrastructure.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
All segments and forms of government should be subject to the FOIA. Government officials and employees should lose their job, at a minimum, for violating the FOIA.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
I would prefer spending cuts. When we shut down the government we stopped providing a lot of services. Those services were, by definition, unessential and are the logical choice for cuts.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Stop wasting money on our wants and start spending them on our needs. Every penny of taxes paid at the pump should go to the roads. Electric vehicle owners need to pay their fair share.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Restructure our funding mechanism. Schools should be funded for infrastructure and transportation separate from education funding. This will provide a fairer funding formula and help the legislature identify funding priorities and waste.

School Funding, Occupational Licensing and Regulatory Reform for small business and the individual. We have an imbalance of power in our government and it is time to return to the legislature its rightful powers and responsibilities in order to give citizens a stronger voice.
Jesus Christ, My Dad, and Ronald Reagan.

Jesus shows the way, my Dad taught me to follow Jesus, and Ronald Reagan proved we could shrink the size and scope of government without harming the American tax payer.
Animal Farm
It's a Wonderful Life
As corny as it sounds, my honesty and integrity are my major assets to offer citizens in my district. I am who I am, and I have been me long enough that I will still be me in six years, the term limit for this seat. I can negotiate an agreement, stick to it, and explain my actions to those that I represent.
I would like to be an integral part of re-balancing our government, to return to the legislature the power it once had.
I remember watching a moon landing when I was very young. I must have been about four.
Roguing corn fields for the Dekalb corporation. I was 12 years old and worked for six weeks cutting volunteer corn out of the hybrid corn fields. I made enough money to by my first rifle and a bicycle and had a little pocket money for the family vacation. I own both the rifle and bicycle to this day.
The Mack Bolan series. It was great following one man as he made a difference in the lives of others.
McClintock, a no-nonsense, self-made man that was fair minded and wise.
Helmet "Unsung"
Making enough time for my sons to be their dad, yet doing enough to be a dad that they are proud to have.
The House should represent the people and the Senate should represent the government. In other words, the House should be concerned with what the government should do , while the senate should be concerned with how government accomplishes it.
Politics, yes. Government, no. The current office holder had no government experience but came with political experience. He has performed quite well with those qualification.
Living within our means. The governor has blown a hole right through our budget, unilaterally.
An honest, coequal relationship between the executive and legislative branch is important and lacking in Michigan, right now. It really doesn't matter what the parties are, just so long as they can actually agree on something and both parties stick to it.
Yes. "No man is an island unto himself". Loners are completely ineffective as legislators. You must build a consensus before introducing a bill or else it is all just for show.
Regulatory Reform, Judicial, Ways and Means, Tourism and Outdoor recreation
Majority/Minority Leader
My immediate predecessor, Lee Chatfield. He is term limited and has done a fine job for our district and the state.
No
Our local educators are heavily burdened by the government regulations, mandates, and funding. We are losing good people that feel that they are no longer professional educators and are being relegated to the ranks of just another government agent performing a bureaucratic function for the state.
