VIEW POINTS

I believe we have to stand for something…. and that is PRINCIPLES and VALUES.

I believe we are called to serve. I am interested, I have the time and energy and I want to serve our community as your representative for HD-90.

Important Points and Beliefs:

* Veteran of the USAF and believe in honoring the freedom that our military has provided this nation
* I support protecting the rights of our citizens and of private property
* I support and will protect our 2nd amendment rights to own and use firearms
* Lifelong hunter and support the rights to public access
* I believe we are gradually losing our opportunity to hunt wild game in Montana because of legislation that favors and protects predators. It is important to protect our states' right from forced participation in federal decisions and mandates
* Wherever possible, with public owned lands, we should consider multiple use before putting more land into non-use categories
* Responsible spending is imperative. Creating huge deficits is not responsible stewardship….Debt matters
* Government should never own majority interest in private industry
* I am pro-life
* I believe marriage is a Holy union between a man and woman
* I believe our current state and federal situation, although very serious, is not without hope.

There is hope -- There are options -- There is opportunity -- We can help small business -- We can wisely use our natural resources -- We can balance our budget and not raise taxes -- We can improve our government's direction by electing conservative thinkers that make decisions by applying principles and values.
Putting the right people in office at the town level, county offices and in state legislature has never been more important. Our state faces many great challenges… this is not a Republican nor a Democratic issue… This is a Montana issue. Having the right people in place to make these decisions is vital to our survival.
Trust matters -- Values are important -- Character counts

I believe those that are well grounded in conservative values and plenty of common sense are worthy of your support and your vote.
