I spent 8 years in law enforcement, patrolling our neighborhoods while its inhabitants slept.
For five years, I drove your children and grandchildren safely to school. Later, I taught them how to safely drive an automobile.
I served your parents and grandparents hot meals through the home-delivered meals program.
I taught your sons and grandsons life-skills through Boy Scouts.
I maintained the beauty of our neighborhoods by picking up roadside trash through the adopt-a-highway program.
It has been said that many people talk the talk; few walk the walk. My life has been one of walking the walk, of doing not just saying, with no expectation of reward or recognition; of serving all members of my community, regardless of race, creed, gender, or age, because it is right to do so.
I know how to lead. I know how to cooperate and follow. I'm not afraid of a confrontation when it's necessary. I believe in the power and the rights of the individual, in a limited government, and in the brilliance of our constitution.- We need to hold on to our traditional American values of a market-based economy.
- I believe in the rights of the individual with very limited government control.
- I support the value and the power of small-business and main street USA.
