I’m running
to be your next State Representative to fight for the
things that matter most to you, the people of Wyoming
and Byron. My experience and success as an elected official
is build on trust. I’ve earned my reputation for
listening to the taxpayers and for making the tough
decision.
I am proud to be the only
Pro-Life, Pro-Business Republican in this race with
experience in public office. That experience is very
important in these times of tight budgets and tough
decisions. Because of this experience, Republican leaders
from across West Michigan have endorsed my candidacy
(link to endorsers) and I sincerely appreciate their
confidence in me. They know I will be your voice in
Lansing.
West
Michigan Values
- Faith, family and community are important to all
of us. You can count on me to defend our West Michigan
values.
- I believe in less government regulation and red
tape.
- I believe we are taxed too much and that government
should be efficient at every level.
- I believe private property owners have rights
and those rights deserve the respect of policy makers.
- I will promote personal accountability and empower
those in need.
- I believe first-class public safety is essential
to a strong community. I fought to fund our police
and fire services and I will bring that fight to
Lansing.
- I believe Detroit gets too much of our tax dollars.
We need to bring some of that money back from Detroit
and put it to work in Wyoming and Byron.
- The second amendment of the United States Constitution
provides the freedom for every citizen to bear arms
and I will protect your right to protect yourself.
- Businesses face too much government interference.
I’ve worked hard to earn the trust of business
leaders and no other candidate enjoys a better relationship
with businesses Wyoming and Byron.
- I clearly see that health insurance prices have
spiraled out of control. Many seniors, small businesses
and other hard-working people can no longer afford
coverage for their families. As Councilmember-at-Large
and Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, I’ve
met with far too many people who are struggling.
So I will fight for incentive based systems such
as Medical Savings Accounts to help people save
and prepare for the future. Controlling health care
and prescription drug costs will be a top priority.
- As the son of two, longtime educators, I truly
believe one of the most important parts of our community
is quality education. We need choices and accountability
because our children deserve the best and I will
make sure our tax dollars go directly to the classroom.
