Reason for Seeking Public Office:

* I am passionate about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and I will defend each vigorously.

* I believe in lower taxes, fiscal responsibility and states' rights.

* I am passionate about helping to unite the conservative base of voters in our district whether they be Tea Party, Libertarian, Republican or unaffiliated voters.
