I am a moderate Republican. I am progressive on some social issues. Conservative on most fiscal issues. I am for reduced public spending, low taxes, avoiding deficits and debt and efficient government. I am 100% in support of the right of all law-abiding citizens to bear arms. I support military veterans and first responders and the hard-working men and women keeping our community functioning.
I support certain aspects of criminal justice reform. I believe there are some areas of our justice system that can be improved upon. The Family Court system is a broken mess that I feel strongly needs reform.
I believe society (government and non-profits) should be doing more to support the homeless and to provide affordable healthcare, to include providing services for those with mental illness. I support social security and Medicare. I believe we should raise the minimum wage. I am also strongly opposed to bullying in our schools and in our workplaces.
My priority is PUBLIC SAFETY and FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN OUR GOVERNMENT. That means making sure the community is safe and that our government officials are good stewards of our tax dollars.
