Taxes / Budget As a fiscal conservative and former business owner, I understand the necessity of getting the most out of every dollar. I will keep a tight rein on the dollars in the budget to ensure maximum stewardship of your tax dollars. Education Every parent has a right to direct the upbringing of their child. This includes all matters of education, health and mental health, free from interference from the schools. I will advocate for parental rights. I will foster an environment which encourages parental participation, listen compassionately and act responsively. Education Competition drives improvement. There are so many decisions that go into selecting the best school for your children. What's best for one may not be the best for another. This is why I support school choice.
