WHY I'M RUNNING: “Guided by conservative, common-sense principles and a desire to serve, I will stand up for the residents of this great area every day in the State House.” (Campaign website)
Abortion & reproductive rights: “I am proud to be Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment, and Pro-Freedom.” (Campaign website)
Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Due to unprecedented growth, it is time that our area has a comprehensive, cost-effective plan for the next 10-15 years. This plan should embrace economic opportunity and bring more jobs to our community without overwhelming our home. I am committed to a responsible plan for growth. This plan will be one that does not raise taxes, but rather cuts frivolous, unnecessary spending and government waste. Fiscal conservatism is the key to solving our area's growth problems.” (Campaign website)
Education & schools: “As a parent, coach, and teacher, I know and understand firsthand the challenges that students, parents, and teachers face. Because every household and every community is different, it would be a disservice to students to use a "one-size-fits-all" approach to education. I'll advocate for parents to have more choice and involvement in their children's education. Legislators, parents, and teachers must work together to create a better future for our children.” (Campaign website)
