Where I Stand

Jobs, jobs, jobs - With businesses closing their doors we need someone who is going to work tirelessly to keep our current jobs here and attract new ones.

Property Taxes - With property taxes skyrocketing over most of Indiana, it is time for the General Assembly to pass meaningful property tax reform. We must move away from this antiquated system of taxation, while giving local units of government the ability to provide necessary services. I am convinced that we can do better in Indianapolis!

Family Values - As a married father of two, I will be a conservative voice for family values in Wabash Valley. A dedicated pro-life advocate and backer of traditional marriage, I am committed to preserving the Hoosier values that make our state great. Strong families are the basic building block of a strong society. Government policy at any level should not weaken the family unit.

Education - We need to provide the next generation with the best education and training possible so we can attract high-paying jobs for a highly skilled workforce.

Crime - We must get tough on criminals and build a safe environment for current and future Hoosiers. From fighting drugs to protecting your identity, I believe that we must give our law enforcement officials the proper training that they need to keep our homes and families safe.

Government spending - While we are all tightening our belts we should expect our government to do the same.  The excessive spending needs to end in order to reduce the tax burden we all face.
