| Collapse all
- I am for the abolishment of the grocery tax, to help ease the burden of families frustrated with inflated prices at the grocery store.
- I am for school choice. There's no one right way to parent, so why would there be only one right way to educate children? Parents, better than the state, know how their children should be raised and educated.
- I am for ending the war on drugs, specifically marijuana. For far too long now our overcrowded prisons have been populated with the likes of non-violent offenders. These laws also serve to distract our law enforcement officers from more important matters that help them better our communities.
Removing unnecessarily strenuous taxation that only serves to bring down working families is important to me. Undoing counter-productive laws so that we might feel safer, and our beloved servicemen more at ease, is a must. Promising parents and individuals the right to lead their lives and raise their children as they see fit is at the forefront of my mind.
