| “ |
Personal Liberty: I will work to limit government regulations to allow for civic pride and individual growth in the community. Job Creation: A positive business environment is crucial to job stability and creation in our state. The government needs to make a move to work hand in hand with businesses to ensure they have the resources and tools necessary for growth. Education: We need to maintain stable funding in our schools without increased spending. Personal Tax and Property Tax decrease: I aim for a stop to personal income taxes and an end to property tax on the elderly. Government Accountability: The government system needs greater accountability. Government decisions behind closed doors is becoming an issue. There will be transparency in everything I do. I will not keep you in the dark. 2nd Amendment For questions on anything, please do not hesitate to contact me and ask. I would love to talk to you! I am available via e-mail, phone, and mail.[10] |
