How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
We need to look at better ways to increase the return the government gets from the Social Security taxes it collects. We also need to look at reducing administrative costs and other overhead expenses through systems modernization.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have 25 years service as an Air Force pilot and commander, leading people and accomplishing tough tasks. In both the Air Force and in my civilian work, I gained a reputation as someone who "gets things done." I've held numerous management and leadership positions that have helped me gain the judgement and knowledge to be a leader in Congress.
