Priority Issues:

I promise to do the following if elected to the legislature:

1.) I will sponsor at least one bill every session that has as its primary purpose the reduction of either the financial burden on taxpayers or reduce the amount of red tape or regulatory burden for its citizens.
2.) I will make at least one trip every other fiscal quarter with the purpose of convincing businesses to move into Nebraska or expand operations within Nebraska. No taxpayer money will be used for these trips.
3.) I will hold one town hall meeting for every precinct in District 21 every year (including virtual town halls).

If I don't fulfill these promises, then I don't get paid. I will hold my salary until the end of the year, and return the money to the state treasury if I do not fulfill all of these promises.
