| Collapse all
freedom with minimal government interference. Personal/private decisions regarding yourself, your family and your business should be unhindered by the state. If elected, I understand that my personal beliefs are not necessarily that of my constituents and I will not unilaterally make decisions on behalf of my district based on my wishes alone. Representatives should listen to input and needs of the district as a whole then fight for what is
collectively best for all of us.- Work to repeal HB302. This is a private healthcare matter and should have never been legislated. Your body is the one thing in life that is truly yours and no one should have domain on any part of it or it’s function.
- The writing is on the wall for more Supreme Court decisions to be overturned that will significantly impact the civil liberties of many people in this state. If elected, I will fight to make sure that those liberties are not infringed upon by the state.
- Mental illness, particularly substance abuse disorder, is devastating families and communities. I think the best way to turn the corner in this fight is to work with local community outreach programs to obtain guidance from them. They are effectively the boots on the ground and are trusted in the community. By assisting and supporting the outreach, we can help heal communities.
Ensuring fiscal responsibility of the state to reduce burden of our citizens.
