Taylor issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | I hope to achieve less government involvement and regulation. The government was not created to dictate what private citizens and businesses do. I believe the role of government is to provide those services which the individual cannot provide for themselves.
I am not an establishment Republican. If you are tired of the government not looking out for the people that elected them, vote for me. I will be accountable to each and every one of you. [5] |
