Why I’m running

To serve the people by working to provide more transparent, more responsive, and smaller, less intrusive, less expensive government.

Top three objectives

Fighting to make sure what comes out of the Gold Dome reflects the will of the voters who I›m asking to put me there and that what comes out of there is in their interest, keeping the residents of the district as informed as possible and myself as accessible as possible, and applying the Judeo-Christian values and principles of individual liberty that our state and nation were founded on to every issue that comes before me.
