Public safety, first responders, and the Second Amendment
Candidate positionOur first responders are the front line of our communities. Like all of us, we want to live and work in a safe environment. Without these men and women, we would not feel safe. Tying the hands of law enforcement only endangers our way of life. We must always support our police and first responders and need to be tough on violent crimes while focusing on keeping our communities safe. I am a supporter of the Second Amendment -- the right to keep and bear arms to protect ourselves and this constitutional right should never be infringed upon.

Small business
Candidate positionSmall business is over 89% of the country’s biggest employers. Laws, red tape and limited funding without high interest loans are hurting the small to mid-size businesses in our communities. We need to really hear what these businesses are going through and find solutions to make it easier for them to grow. So many talk about funding, medical and resources to expand. This will only hinder them and stop them from growing unless we do something about it.

First responders and community resources
Candidate positionThe brave men and women put their families on hold and their lives on the line to protect us and let us live the American dream. They deserve more than our respect and gratitude. They deserve our support and ability to come to a safe home and a life to be proud of. I will be advocating to ensure we have the resources to keep our communities safe, provide for the homeless, ensure they are all protected compensated and provided the proper equipment to do their duties.

Seniors
Candidate positionOur Seniors have devoted their lives to our communities, and we owe them so much. They have built a lot of what you see today. They can teach us so much about the American dream because they have lived if longer then we have. Focusing on their needs is very important to my agenda. Weather it is that they need better services, ways to keep the home they build or have lived in for their whole lives, and medical needs. Seniors should never have to worry after all their hard work to their communities.

Government ethics and accountability
Candidate positionFor so many years we speak about corrupt politicians. Stopping corruption is a main focus. When we do something that is unethical it gives the public a bad taste and reasons why they should not vote. People have to be held accountable for their actions. This needs to come to an end and focus on the communities instead of greed.

Education and school safety
Candidate positionFor far too long, we have failed our children's education. We must get back to the basics of education. Statistics show that our students are not where they should be academically, but we continue to spend too much time focusing on other matters. If we cannot get our students back on the right track soon, they are destined for long-term challenges or failure. School safety should be a top priority. No child should go to school fearing what may happen. Our focus should be on providing a safe and high-quality learning environment.

Education, technology, and trades

The way of the future is tech and trade this is where the jobs are.
