"I will provide a strong voice for fiscal responsibility and integrity."

"As a West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran, we must continue to work to ensure these men and women that were willing to give the ultimately sacrifice to our country are treated with the dignity and respect that so deserve. We should and must do more."

Immigration - I believe that we should create a process to assist those legally seeking safety within our borders without compromising the security of our fellow citizens. And those in need should not be used as political fodder and irresponsibly dropped off in cities without a plan for success. This sets them up for failure and destabilizes local communities who are unprepared.

Education -  We must reduce the role of the federal government in our education system so that state and local governments can more efficiently and directly work with students, teachers, and school administrators.  Parents, teachers, administrators know what is best for their students and when given the opportunity. We need to look to best practices and research to help to eliminate the achievement gap and better allocate funds and resources.
