What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

We have seen it, cutting regulations, reducing taxes, and creating an environment where businesses want to hire more employees. Equipping and training a workforce with necessary skills to meet the needs of these employers.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

The free market is our best bet to drive quality of care up and the cost down for all. Expanding competition across state lines and allowing greater choice in what a person can buy. There are great examples of coops that have delivered high quality care at low prices by exercising buying power.

Streamlining and removing unnecessary and redundant regulations that stifle business growth. To be fiscally responsible with tax payer money and look to streamline processes and lower operating costs.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

a Lifetime of bringing disparate people and groups together to find solutions. My wide background in healthcare, business, media, ministry, banking and real estate brings a lot of value to the position and will serve the district and state well.
