(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Profiles in Courage by JFK best identifies my core philosophy. The best interests of our citizens under the constitution and law must be protected.

(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “The ideal relationship is one of coordination and facilitation. Legislature should be communicating to the governor on our priorities while understanding his/hers. If we can find common ground on issues, we can more effectively address needed legislation. Conversely, if the governor has a priority we can cooperate to achieve our unified efforts in those areas.”
