Campaign themes

Culture of Poverty
- Excerpt: "The Culture of Poverty will be broken by focusing on jobs, education, fair taxes and community development."

Education

Fair Taxes
- Excerpt: "Instead of obsessing over the income tax, I believe we should be working to lower the property tax burden."
