Priority Issues:

One of my priorities is a government which is responsive to its citizens. I will do all that I can to listen to my constituents and take their concerns to Montpelier. Some of the issues I have heard from my constituents and have sought to do something about are as follows:

- all of my seven towns are concerned about the impact of industrial wind towers; so I have spent a lot of time and effort researching, listening, and getting involved with this issue.

- my local businesses want reasonable regulation and fees, so I keep this issue in mind as I vote.

- I feel strongly about protecting the disadvantaged and the unborn, and I know that many of my constituents do, too.

- I hear complaints about taxes all the time, and I do my best to vote accordingly.

- so many of my constituents feel the government should live within its means as they have to do, and I fight hard for that.

- I feel strongly about responsible healthcare reform to find real solutions to rising costs and don't think more government bureaucracy is the answer.

- I think we should be making serious preparations for the future, plans for dealing with fiscal, natural and terrorist crises.
