Reason for Seeking Public Office:
As decisions made by government began negatively affecting our family business and interfering in my personal and spiritual life, it became clear government was out of control.
I understand the importance of standing up to the stronghold of a bloated government. We must live within our means, and stop spending away our children's future.
I am running for my family and yours.
