Please explain in a total of 75 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.

I will look for methods to increase income from current taxes to enable funding new programs. I will support routine audits of state departments/commissions operations for proper processes and effectiveness. I will not support a state income or sales tax.
