Political Philosophy:
I believe that government intervention in our lives is the least effective way to accomplish social goals. I want to reduce the size of government to an absolute minimum. I believe there are free market solutions to most problems in our society. I believe that every government "solution" to a social problem costs us in personal liberty.

Political Priorities:

• promote the Bill of Rights within our state legislature
• reduce the size of government
• return to a part time legislature
• require a sunset clause (expire date) on all legislation
• eliminate the state income tax
• parental choice in schools
• legalize industrial hemp crop
• require that jurors be informed of their rights
• decriminalize possession of drugs
