Campaign themes

In an article with the Caswell Messenger, Joubert said that if he were to be elected he would , "fight for economic policies that lift oppressive taxes and unnecessary regulations to encourage new job growth and restore the confidence of employers to expand. I work with students first-hand and appreciate the challenges they face.
