None


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

The state constitution spells out K-12 funding; college is a privilege, not a right and the legislature does provide partial funding for CU.

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Agree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

VALUES
