Core Principles

The following are the governing principles of how I have chosen to run my campaign. I have revised them slightly.

Perform the duties of the office with the interests of the constituent placed first and with the heart of a servant.

  • Be a good steward, of both campaign contributions and the tax payers' resources for none of these funds belong to me.
  • Be transparent even when it is difficult.
  • Be accountable to the constituent.
  • Be positive. The opponent is a human being, not a monster.
  • Knowing we are doing the right thing is our reward.

    Hierarchy of Conservative Principles

    As a conservative, there are certain principles that guide my decision making in any scenario. However, from time to time, these principles may seemingly be in conflict. Therefore it is imperative to have a clearly defined set of principles that are ranked to help resolve these conflicts.

    1. The Constitution (State and U.S.) is my litmus test. Should any provision of a bill violate the Constitution, I cannot and will not support it. The Constitution is our rule book.

  • 2. I will strive to increase individual liberty.
  • 3. Good Government. This means I will support any measure that makes all levels of government more accountable and transparent to the taxpayers.
  • 4. Smaller Government. In an effort to make the government as efficient as possible, I will support measures that shrink the size and scope of government.
  • 5. Local Control. If local governments are following the Constitution, are respectful of the liberty of the individual, are being transparent and accountable, and working as efficiently as possible, I support control at the local level.
