My View of the Role of State Government:

Over the past three years my emphasis in State Government has been to:

1. Never raise your taxes.
2. Not grow government beyond those increases needed to meet population growth.
3. Keep the government out of your personal lives as much as possible by giving you, the citizen, the opportunity to exercise your free agency to prosper in a free market economy without the burdens of excessive laws and regulations.
4. Try to reduce the negative impacts of federal land ownership in our state on your lives by fighting to keep our public lands open and accessible and by promoting the multiple use and sustained yield of public lands as provided for in federal law.
5. Support the great public education and higher education programs in our state while providing parents with the opportunity to make personal choices as to how and where their children are educated.
6. Protect small business, agricultural producers and manufacturing from excessive government intrusions including over-reaching environmental regulations.
7. Work closely with other elected officials in District #73 to promote good government.
