Issue Position: Government

Issue Position

As House Finance Chairman since 2015, I have promoted and led a regular review of all state spending units and worked diligently with other members to reform our state's budget process. I have demonstrated the ability to limit the growth and reduce the waste in government spending. I favor and have sponsored legislation that required all regulations have a 5 year sunset provision. The result is the legislature is now required to analyze the cost benefit of regulations and eliminate and/or change those regulations which did not meet their intended goal when initially passed. I also have also promoted the prioritization of government spending and the review and analysis of the cost benefit, or return on investment, of government expenditures.
