Statement: Liberty, fiscal responsibility and constitutional principles are critical to prosperity. Government debt undermines prosperity and indentures our children. Public pensions are mismanaged. Excessive laws and regulations hamper businesses. The “good old boy” political system of perpetual government insiders has failed.
We need jobs for working people. My business experience counteracts government mismanagement. I fought Washington forest fires, prosecuted criminals, ran a business and served in the military. Family and faith are at my core. My focus is jobs, lower taxes, veterans’ and property rights, strong families, locally-controlled education, 2nd Amendment rights and strong businesses.
