sTATE ISSUES
Economy: The growth of our economy should be the top priority of our state government. To compete in a national and international market, the world needs to know that Oklahoma is open for business. I will work to attract new companies and make doing business easier in Oklahoma. The true beauty and Central location of our great state only adds to the unlimited potential of economic growth.
Taxes: Stability and predictability in general revenue is needed for us to be successful in managing our state’s affairs. By diversifying our state revenue, we remove volatility and uncertainty, which allows for better planning and budgeting. For too long, we have continued to tax problems away for others to deal with in the future. The day of “kicking the can down the road” must stop and I promise you this will be a top priority.
Budget Reform and Accountability: When I take my oath of office, I fully expect you to hold me accountable for my actions. As your representative, I will seek others to help me reform how we budget. I will hold state agencies accountable by requiring and enforcing regular audits and performance reviews. When the state is using your money, it has a responsibility to use those resources wisely and be able to show how every dollar is spent.
Education: Education is a key element to a stronger, better society as a whole. In order to be successful in creating a desirable future for ourselves and our children, it is imperative that we strive to have the best educational system possible. This will take more than just adding the sorely additional needed revenue. It will also take a commitment from all of us as teachers, parents, business leaders and members of the community. We must not continue to lower our educational standards through the use emergency certifications because we have no pool of qualified candidates. Our students deserve the right of a quality education with highly qualified teachers. I will make it my goal to push for a reform in the educational funding formula and address how schools are allowed to use local money. Together we will facilitate the necessary change to make Oklahoma a top 10 educational state. Let's make Oklahoma the state where teachers, families, and businesses all have the desire to make it their home.
2nd Amendment: I strongly support the 2nd amendment fully and I will fight against any legislation that seeks to weaken this fundamental right.
Abortion: The single greatest right we have as Americans and as a person is the right to life. Those most vulnerable among us deserve the same right and I will continue to defend our children both born and unborn every day.
Veterans Affairs: As the son of a retired Army Master Sergeant and grandson of both a WWII Lieutenant Colonel and career Navy Chief Quartermaster, I know firsthand our veterans made sacrifices and served our nation and our state. We have a moral and ethical obligation to assist our veterans in all aspects and this I will do.
Immigration: Legal immigration helped make this country the greatest nation the world has ever known. However, we are a nation of laws and regulations and if a person wishes to become part of our community then they, just like us, must respect and obey these laws. Illegal immigration must be stopped.
