Affordability

We have to address the rising cost of living and help working families that are struggling. We should start by cutting taxes and letting people keep more of their hard-earned money. We can empower the private sector to innovate and create new high-paying jobs by streamlining regulations. This will make it easier for small businesses to compete. These measures will enable more people to buy homes, start businesses, and invest in our state economy. Let’s get bureaucracy out of the way and provide relief to those who need it most.

Strong Healthcare

Healthcare decisions must be made not by insurance companies and hospitals, but by the patient. We need complete price transparency. And we must end a certificate of need program that has given us a market that is divided up by big hospital systems that make it hard for small doctor practices to compete and left large parts of the state without access to emergency services.

Fiscal Responsibility

We must look at each tax dollar as if it was earned by the hardest working people in our state - the roofers, the construction workers, people who do the hard jobs and ask “Is this how they would want their tax dollars spent?”

Education

In our district we have access to some of the finest K-12 and higher education institutions anywhere. We must provide greater access to school choice for our K-12 students. We must also insist on accountability from our higher education system where the cost of tuition has increased dramatically.

Public Safety

Every day we hear about serious crime in or near our neighborhoods or where we work. We must give our full support to our law enforcement and first responders at every level. There must be interagency cooperation. Most importantly, when criminals are arrested and convicted, they must be punished.
