Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a Christian conservative who believes in and support pro-life and the second ammendment. I believe that there is far too much wasteful spending by the government and priorities need to be set for spending purposes, especially on infrastructure and healthcare. I will fight to lower taxes for families, while investing time and energy in investing in the increase of employment and job security.
