Candidate Statement

By Leonard M. Lanzi

I am a loyal Republican. I believe in low taxes, limited government, strong defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. I also believe all Americans have the right to liberty, freedom, and equality. I stand up against those who preach hatred and intolerance.

Imagine a government that believes:

- Tax money is YOUR MONEY first
- People are better at solving problems than bureaucracies
- Nothing else matters if your family isn't safe

ENVIRONMENT Our environment is very important, but so is my job. We need a balanced approach that impacts everyone equally.

TRAFFIC We need to renew our commitment to solutions for hassle free commuting

ECONOMY The state budget reflects our priorities. Close down wasteful programs, not public parks. Let's invest in small businesses not government bureaucracies. We achieve prosperity and financial security when we control our money, not the government.

EVERYTHING ELSE We realize there are many more issues than this, but we can't address them all here. But I renew my pledge that if the solution to someone else's problem affects you, I'll tell you about it; why it's important, how it affects you and then give you the chance to offer your views BEFORE I make a decision so I can be held accountable.
