Questions & Answers

I am a lifelong resident of the First Congressional District. Father of 9 children. 13 times candidate for public office. Expert on limited government. Will vote against any law that increases taxes or the power of the Federal government. Will vote for tax decreases and limits on Federal government power.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I will vote against all laws that are unconstitutional and not fully funded.

3. What is the biggest issue facing the district you hope to represent? What will do you do in office to address it?

Unemployment and underemployment. Every reduction in the goverment will impove the economy and increase employment in real jobs.

4. What are your priorities with respect to our nation's energy policy? Should there be an emphasis on clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, and/or on reducing our dependence on foreign sources?

End the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy is a waste of time and money and only pretend to solve a problem they make worse.
