Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

As a small business owner, father and husband, I understand the common sense leadership needed in Columbus. As a member of the Hamilton County Tax Levy Review Committee, I help hold government and agencies accountable. As co-founder of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, I understand where government can do better.

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

In talking to families throughout my district, I understand that they feel that government is out of touch. The best place to gain insight on how to cut costs is by talking to government employees who often deal with unnecessary bureaucracy simply because state law requires it. We must address ways in which we can eliminate unnecessary paperwork, mailing and advertising. If the federal government regulates something, then state and local officials should eradicate duplicative state and local agencies and regulations that merely exist to collect fees. Ohioans are still taxed too much, and we need to address Ohio taxation.

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

It is common sense that the biggest issue facing my district is the economy. The answer to improving our economy is also common sense. We need to focus on creating a healthy job creation environment, eliminating duplicative and useless bureaucracy and regulation, and provide our workforce with updated training, education and technology so that they can compete in the marketplace. If we do these things, Ohio will become more attractive, and profitable, for job creators. Ohio needs leaders who will cut spending and lower taxes like their jobs depend on it.
