Create good-paying jobs and grow the economy

End the income tax and tackle inflation and the rising cost of living

Defend our 2nd Amendment rights and protect unborn babies
We must do everything we can to address the rising costs facing families, including gas prices and the inflation being driven by politicians in Washington. The world's need for affordable energy is an opportunity for energy producing states like Kentucky. Not only can we export energy, but we can grow good-paying, stable manufacturing jobs. Frankfort must spend taxpayer dollars wisely while helping to build a stronger economy, create jobs, and improve our state’s infrastructure. The pro-life movement has always been close to my heart, and I will be joining the fight in Frankfort for a pro-life constitutional amendment. Kentucky’s at a key time in our development and it’s time to get things done. We have so many great opportunities and we need leaders in Frankfort making wise decisions that provide more opportunities for Kentuckians, more jobs with better pay and better benefits, with low taxes and great education and job training so our kids can succeed. I strongly support parental rights and the ability of all families to choose the type of education that is best for their kids.
Absolutely. It's important for the people of the 20th District to have a strong, conservative advocate who knows how to be an effective fighter from day one, build coalitions, and navigate the Senate rules. Someone who can use the diverse interests of the district to ensure its influence is properly represented in key pieces of legislation as they are negotiated. I’m an experienced change maker. That’s what I did in the 90s during my short stint in the General Assembly. I disrupted the way things had always been done, and exposed politicians who said one thing and did another.
