- I am running to be your voice
- Smaller government, lower taxes, and fair distribution and usage of tax revenue
As a former Police Officer and being retired military (24 years of service), along with owning a Private Carry Permit school, I believe there is a better balance we can achieve in reference to gun owership and carrying permits. I have been a firearms instructor for over 15 years and have taught thousands of people the safe way to carry, maintain, and use a weapon. I believe that every American has the right to own and carry a weapon as long as they meet the criteria and obtain proper training. Any gun - is a tool - and the safe operation and hadnling of a tool prevents injuries/loss of life.
Honesty and integrity.
Ability to speak to anyone, anywhere, and on multiple levels. Having been a teacher/instructor for over 30 years, I am used to addressing "crowds".
To vote the way those who elected you wish.
The Bible - because it is true and provides us guidance throughout our lives.
Captain America!
Obviously my answer is "no". A fresh perspective is always a good thing to interject into any organization.
Maintaining our conservative-christian values.
Obtaining support from like-minded individuals promotes strength and harmony on any subject.
