Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I'm a fiscal conservative and socially liberal. I believe too much waste happens with sitting legislators that have limited or no understanding of business, education, or budgets. I believe every tax dollar needs to be made fully transparent in where it's spent and to ensure no amount of money is misspent. I'm available to anyone that reaches out via web, email, cell phone, or in person and I'm the only candidate that has listed his cell phone so voters can reach me.

E-mail address and phone number for voters to reach you.
