Child Protective Services
- Excerpt: "More focus on case managers working directly with the parents and the children for successful completion of the case plan."
Conservative Fiscal policies
- Excerpt: "In fact when times are good and the state treasury is flush with money, we need to work harder and make government more efficient."
Veteran Support and Protections
- Excerpt: "I would support additional state help for veterans that want to finish both High School and post secondary education programs."
Make lobby groups more transparent
