Reason for Seeking Public Office:

My priorities include...

1. Obtaining longer sentences for child molesters. As a Deputy Prosecutor, I've seen firsthand the damage that molesters cause. We can pay for longer sentences by demanding those convicted of crime pay higher fines and court costs.
2. Property tax reform. My first choice is to eliminate property taxes, second choice is a uniform cap on tax rates, and third is the current proposal.
3. Less government spending. Smaller budgets use fewer tax dollars, and high spending is responsible for the property tax problem to begin with.
