Values

The most important quality of a politician in my opinion is ones values. While policies may change over time, values should not. 

  • Individual Liberties – No one knows what’s best for you and your family than yourself. Most decision making should be handled on the absolute lowest level of government, with the federal government there to ensure than your rights are not being abused. 
  • Monetary Responsibility – All government funding comes from the taxpayer. The government should spend money responsibly, look for ways to reduce spending, and not burden future generations with long-term debt for short-term gains.
  • Equality – Regardless of your race, religion, orientation, affiliation, or location, you should have equal access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 
  • Principles – I’m guided by my principles, not a party affiliation. I will only support laws that empower people and limit our government. To this end, I will only support legislation that addresses a real problem, not a political agenda. 
  • Localization – Local government is more accountable and responsive to its citizens than federal, or even state government. As your representative, I pledge to support all reasonable efforts to shift power from the federal and state level, to the local counties and municipalities. 
  • Transparency – Government can not be improved without first understanding how it operates and what problems we face. I fully support all efforts to increase the publics access to government activities and data.
