Priority Issues:

My political views include:

*Improved education for our children
*Enhanced pay to attract the best teachers
*More focus and funds for skilled trade education in both high school as well as post secondary education
*School Choice
*Options for chartered schools in poor performing districts
*Bringing more jobs to Kentucky
*Make Kentucky more business friendly by reducing job stifling regulations and taxes. This will both attract and retain jobs for the state.
*Enact Right to Work Legislation
*Lower taxes to spur the economy and to help the poor keep more of what they earn
*Responsible spending in Frankfort
*Government that works within the scope of the constitution
*A strong military
*Pro Life
*People taking personal responsibility for the choices that they make
*A safety net for down trodden is needed. However, government assistance should be not be a life long handout but a quick hand UP that leads to a life long stability
*The two greatest documents ever written that will help to guide my legislative decisions are the Constitution and the Bible
