  • Noyes Lawton will fight for individual liberty
  • Noyes Lawton wants to reduce the role of government in our lives
  • Noyes Lawton wants to improve the economy by leaving money with the people.
Noyes Lawton is very passionate about criminal justice reform and wants to achieve a better criminal justice system by easing consequences on victimless crimes. He also believes that the economy will improve with the most ease by easing the tax burden on the people of the state and by privatizing liquor sales in the state of Pennsylvania.
I have always looked up to my father, Jonathan Lawton. He was a hard working man who taught me what it meant to work hard. On top of being a farmer he was also on the local school board. He was a very smart and ingenuitive man. He taught me to learn as much as I possibly could and that everyone, no matter what their station in life, can teach us something.
Three books are influential in forming my political philosophy. "Don't Hurt People and Don't take Their Stuff" by Matt Kibbe, "A Man Without a Country" by Kurt Vonnegut and "1984" by George Orwell.
A communicator, not just a speaker, but someone who has the ability to listen.
I am a tireless worker. I am creative and a troubleshooter.
The core responsibility is to act as the people you represent would have you act.
I want to show my kids that if they want to change something they can if they are willing to work.
I remember talking and watching Mt. St Helens erupt and the local towns being covered in ash. I was 6 or 7 I believe. In 1984 I remember the election of Ronald Reagan, but what I remember most about that election was that Walter Mondale had the first woman VP candidate, Geraldine Ferraro. The Challenger explosion was of course also a big event in my childhood.
I have been working since I was 5 years old. My first job was on the family farm. I was responsible for feeding the calves milk replacer. I worked on our farm in varying degrees until I was 18 when I joined the military.
A Man without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut. While this book had some elements I did not agree with the one idea of being kind to each other and helping other human beings resonated with my soul.
"Monkey Wrench Gang" or anything by Edward Abbey. He taught me never take things for what people say they are.
I would not want to be anyone but me. I am my favorite fictional character.
I am an alcoholic. I struggled to be sober and the self introspection that this took to remain sober.
.
No I do not. Education and showing the ability to communicate with others and solve problems are more important in my opinion.
I believe that our state takes too much from the constituents of the state. The increase in taxes has burdened our economy and the people of this state.
The ideal relationship would have open communication showing respect for ideas and attempting to understand rather than to dismiss.
Yes it is beneficial to build relationships with not just legislators but the constituents that you represent. These relationships help us to learn and to grow.
I favor individual commissions that will work to have districting lines follow as close as possible established county or municipal lines.
Liquor Control, Veterans Affairs, Commerce
No, My focus is to represent the people of my district, who have as a whole not been represented.
