I will work to ensure our schools are properly funded and that good teachers, modern technology, and a safe learning environment are available to all."
Tax Reform And Continued Job Growth
- Excerpt: "The growth of our community over the last decade has put us on numerous “best” lists. I promise to work to ensure that our state’s tax code and business regulations are fair. They must work hand in hand to create new opportunities for both our businesses and our work force."
Ensuring Safe Neighborhoods
