My Priorities
CONSERVATIVE VALUES
“Our #1 goal should be growing opportunities for
our families to prosper, not growing government.
We need effective schools, safe communities,
and an economic policy that attracts jobs.
Families deserve to keep more of what they earn.”
Priorities That Matter
• Prioritize Budget Needs
• Reduce the Overall Tax Burden
• Ensure K-12 Dollars Reach the Classroom
IT’S YOUR MONEY…
Families work hard for the money paid in taxes. The state should respect, safeguard, and budget our tax dollars accordingly.
IT’S YOUR JOB…
State economic policy must be focused on growing private sector jobs, providing greater opportunities for our families to prosper.
IT’S YOUR HOME…
Rising home values are good, but an ever increasing tax burden because of it is not - especially for those on fixed incomes. We must find a solution that protects homeowners from out of control property tax increases.
IT’S YOUR SCHOOL…
Student success starts with quality teachers, and a rigorous curriculum.
Classroom funding, not administration, must be the priority.
