- Excerpt: "My own personal crusade in the legislature is literacy. I’ve been doing volunteer E.S.L. tutoring at the Ozark Literacy Council."
- Jobs

- Excerpt: "I believe in creating, rebuilding and maintaining our infrastructure, including technology infrastructure. This will bring jobs now, and growth in the future."
- Special Interests in Elections
- Excerpt: "For some time now I have been concerned about the growing influence of special interest in our democracy. I support a government for the people and by the people, not a government controlled by special interests."
