Education
- Excerpt: "Our choices and investments must be tailored to the 21st century and effective outcomes. We can no longer accept the the [sic] status quo - our children deserve the best."
Community

Government

Government is responsible for protecting our American way of life; It is not the role of government to overreach in every aspect of our daily lives by over regulating and recklessly spending the tax payer's money."
