Dear Neighbor,
I believe we share a deep concern about the direction our state and our country are heading. Our elected officials in DC and Annapolis have ignored our calls for common sense, fiscal restraint and continue to spend our hard earned tax dollars and push us deeper and deeper into debt.
Worse, as times have demanded a renewed focus on jobs and economic growth, our "leaders" push an agenda hostile toward job creators. It's time we had leaders that understood that government is not the solution to our economic woes but rather a cause of those problems.
Higher taxes, higher fees, and more big government programs take money out of our economy and places it in the hands of bureaucrats.
My agenda includes:
-
Fiscal Reform
-
Government Reform
-
Economic Reform
-
Educational Reform
I hope I can count on your support.
Sincerely,
