- During my 4 years in the United States Marine Corps, I learned what it means to serve and to lead.
- As a father, I am very concerned with the future of the state of Alabama and I want to help make it a better place for my children to grow up.
- Libertarians believe in freedom. I believe that you know what is best for your life and that elected officials should stay out of the lives of the citizens of Alabama. I will always stand up for the lives, rights and freedoms of the citizens of Alabama.
1. Ending the grocery and income tax in Alabama. The people of Alabama are represented too little and taxed too much. I believe that it is a crime to tax people on essential items such as food and the wages they have worked hard for.
2. Implementation of a state lottery system. With the elimination of the grocery and income tax, the state will still needs to generate revenue. A lottery system is a great way for the state to generate income without forcing citizens to pay the tax. Lottery is a 100% consensual tax, unlike the other taxes we pay for that are enforced through the threat of violence. Many people in Alabama play the lottery and have to travel out of the state to do so. We could keep that money in Alabama and put it to good use.
