| Collapse all
- I am a proven leader who is not a career politician. I have a record of finding solutions and making things work. I will use my real-world business know how to eliminate waste and cut taxes.
- I fought for our rights and freedoms during the unconstitutional shutdown, and I will always protect our constitutional rights. As a State Representative, I will cut through the politics, stand up to the special interests and get results for Louisiana families.
- Protecting the Republic Today’s aggressive administrative state produces layer after layer of stifling rules and regulations that choke our liberty. True to the Founding Fathers’ vision, I will always challenge the power grabs and growing regulations.
Education: Secure funding for educator's pay, parental rights, resolve teacher shortages, solutions to help teachers navigate ELS students.
Insurance Reform: bring market driven solutions to lower insurance premiums
Tax Reform: Stop of the over taxation of Louisiana citizens. Help make the hard decisions necessary to remove outdate or unsustainable programs to alleviate the states budget.
Second, you can accomplish nothing alone. You must be a team player. It takes a majority of the votes of any board to get anything accomplished and you must be willing to spend the time and effort to build a consensus on an issue if you are to have success, even when that means working with people you have had disagreements with in the past. An elected official is too burdened with responsibility to carry around personal grudges.
Third, be responsive and accessible to your constituents. If you cannot defend a decision publicly to your constituents, it was likely not a good decision.
Fourth, be humble enough to be willing to admit to mistakes and to take what corrective action if necessary to resolve an issue. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their life. The biggest mistake of all is not fixing them when they happen.
Fifth, fix windows instead of throwing rocks. It is far more beneficial to the community you serve to fix problems rather than laying blame.
Economic growth that makes it possible for living standards to increase for nearly every American. It is growth that defeats poverty. To awaken entrepreneurs, innovators and the like to step out and create. The hero of economic growth is the entrepreneur.
