Issue Position: Improve Road Funding For the District

Issue Position

In 2015 Justin led the effort to successfully eliminate the $215 million transfer of the Highway Fund gas-tax revenues to the General Fund. For far too long, your tax dollars intended for improving our state's roads were transferred to pay for politicians other state initiatives -- leaving our state's road projects years behind schedule. Thanks to Justin and other leading conservatives in the General Assembly, we can now reduce the backlog of needed transportation projects. We must have a legislator willing to continue to fight for our part of the road funds, for expanding Hwy 52 and Hwy 49, along with keeping Hwy 24/27 on track. Quality roads will give us a better opportunity to recruit new jobs! Justin will continue fighting for more state funding to improve the district's underfunded road projects.
