As your advocate, I've consistently voted to promote:
  • The highest possible academic achievement;
  • School choice options for all students;
  • Lower taxes;
  • Conservative fiscal policies; 

  • Family values;

I've successfully worked to improve local school facilities and pledge to bring safe, clean, updated facilities to all students.
