WHAT I BELIEVE…
EDUCATION
I am a strong advocate for local control of our schools. I am opposed to any federal
mandates that impose national standards, national curriculum, national testing, and a national
database upon our local schools. Our classrooms must never become laboratories for social
engineering.
CITIZENS RIGHTS
I believe in “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Our citizens have the right to
protect themselves, their families and their property. I will oppose any initiative that
attempts to limit the right of honest hard working Oklahomans to own firearms.
I will join the fight against the ever increasing encroachment of the federal government into
our daily lives, such as National Health Care. I am a strong pro-life conservative. Life begins
at conception and I will stand up for the rights of the unborn.
TAXES & BUDGET
- Fiscally conservative approach to state government. The state budget should keep
taxes low and control spending.
- Every citizen is entitled to the fruits of their labor.
- Our children and grandchildren should inherit a state and a country that does not tax
them into poverty.
VETERAN’S ISSUES
- A strong advocate for all veterans. Those who have sacrificed for our nation must
receive the care they have earned.
- I will stand up for the Vietnam veteran. They were forgotten once and I will make sure
that never happens again.
- I will make sure the needs of our citizen soldiers (the guard and reserve) and the
needs of their families are met.
BUSINESS & ECONOMY
- Small business is the backbone of our state’s economy and is the engine that drives our economic system. I will do everything I can to support small business growth.
- Prosperity comes not from wealth redistribution, but from wealth creation.
- The government must never be in the business of picking winners and losers. The playing field must be level so that all have an equal opportunity for success.
- Help create a business friendly atmosphere through real workers comp reform and comprehensive tort reform.
