Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for New Hampshire State Representative because we can do much better than the situation we face today. The New Hampshire advantage is at stake for future generations of New Hampshire children. Excessive spending, burdensome regulation, and inability to attract new commerce to New Hampshire is troubling. A solid plan to recruit new business to New Hampshire is critical for our economic future at every level. A better business climate that encourages economic expansion for both current and new industry will create more jobs, more revenue, and will ultimately lower the tax burden to New Hampshire citizens.
If elected as your State Representative, I will:
*Make responsible spending decisions in Concord.
*Support policy for lower taxes and fees.
*Promote a better business friendly environment that will create jobs.
*Reduce the size of Government and make it more efficient where possible.
*Uphold and protect both the New Hampshire and United States Constitution.
*Protect liberty and personal freedom.
*Listen to, correspond with, and represent every citizen in our district the best I can.
