Taxes & budget: “The two public policies that I am passionate about deal with the budget and government overreach of perceived medical pandemics or epidemics. I am a firm believer that government needs to be better stewards of the revenue they receive from taxes. This means that a balanced budget needs to be the goal and not spend more than the government takes in. The second is that people should be able to make decisions of their healthcare without the government mandating conditions in which they are to live their lives.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
