| Collapse all
I married my high school sweetheart and we have been married for almost 33 years. I grew up in Altus and have lived here practically all of my life except for the time I was gone to college. We have three grown/married children and five grandchildren who all reside and work in Altus.
- I believe our number one issue in the short-term is the economy. Every other issue we have is funded (or not funded) by the state of the economy. If businesses are open and running well, they contribute to the state's revenue along with the consumers. This generates the funding to cover our necessary core services.
- The second issue I want to address is that we need to protect our Constitutional freedoms. This Covid crisis has shown that we have a lot of work to do in that area. It is important in times like these that we protect those that are more vulnerable, however, we must respect an individual's freedom to operate their business and provide for their livelihood.
- My third issue is that government is too big and wasteful. One of my foundational beliefs is that where fraud, abuse, and waste are possible, they are probable. I hope to work with other legislators and the state auditor in finding these cases of inefficiencies and using those results to assist in funding our government rather than raising more taxes and fees.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
