“I believe you know how to spend your money better than the government does. Once elected I will be working to cut taxes and end needless government mandates. My opponent has continually voted to increase your B & O taxes, gas taxes and real estate taxes. Also he has repeatedly voted for state government mandated sex-ed being taught for very young children beginning in kindergarten. This is not the right approach. I want to empower parents where and how their children are educated, emphasizing school choice.”
“Government’s responsibility is to support the private sector through a minimal regulatory climate, locally driven planning and the encouragement of a general spirit of industry throughout all levels of society. As your representative I will be working towards the betterment of the residents of the 10th Legislative District by lowering and eliminating taxes, reducing and eliminating regulations and returning power back to you and the local governing districts.”
“I fully support the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The base which includes Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, is one of the most important and strategic air commands in the United States. It is a necessary and vital economic driver that supports much of the citizens of Legislative District 10, and its economy. We must do all that we can to keep it in full operation, as it is paramount to the nation’s and the world’s safety.”
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are all part of our constitutional founding documents and are inextricably connected to an individual’s right to own private property. Government must compensate property owners at market value when their property rights are damaged, impaired or taken by government action. Water rights should stay with the landowner and not be transferred to state, tribal or federal ownership.”
“The proper role of any welfare, homeless, or addiction program is to be compassionate and innovative, with the goal of self-empowerment by helping people to help themselves. I support personal responsibility in securing a job, and helping those in need with effective treatment programs. We must be open to a variety of solutions and recognize that many private sector non-profits and community faith based organizations can be far more effective at helping people through challenging times than government programs..”
