What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

2) Reasonably regulate our natural resource industries and provide employment opportunities for all areas of the state.
3) redesign our PERS system to reduce deficit and balance our state budget.[2][3]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Natural resources and public land accessabilityCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

best outcomes are achieved when the legislator has not accepted funds from special interest and therefore has no obligation to repay that debt by support of laws not in the general public's interests.[3]
What legacy would you like to leave?
Constitutionally correct the Supreme Court's decision on Reynolds vs. Sims 1964 and allow each state to adopt a republican form of state legislative design.[3]
