Economic Development, Education, & Tax Reform |
|
These issues are inter-related. We can not have one without the other. We need a State Representative with the education
and experience to encourage economic development, reduce the burdensome business regulations that are driving businesses away,
and to simplify the tax code that is oppressive on all Ohio residents. I have brought reform to the local government
and with your support, I can bring reform to the state government.
We can all agree that the education
funding system needs reformed so that it is more equitable and fair. We need to relieve the local property tax payers of the
burden yet leave the local school districts in control. We all want our children and grandchildren to have
the opportunity for a quality education. That is why education is so important to me.
By eliminating
burdensome regulations and reforming an oppressive tax system, I will encourage economic development to ensure we have
quality, high-paying jobs for generations to come. Ohio leads the nation in 20-39 year old people leaving the state. The businesses
leave due to high taxes and excessive regulations, and the people follow. With my leadership, we can change the business
climate and improve our state's economy.

I believe in Traditional Republican Values, one of which,
is smaller government. I believe the government should be less intrusive not more; therefore, I will work to cut
inefficiencies, reduce wasteful spending, and eliminate unnecessary and duplicate services, which only serve to increase the
burden on Ohio citizens.
I am Pro-Life and will work to protect life.
I am Pro-Family. As
a father of three, I believe the only way to raise children is to promote wholesome family values.
I am a lifetime
member of the NRA and an avid outdoors-man. I believe the Second Amendment protects the right of the individual to keep and
bear arms. Through experience, I have seen the positive effects of conservation and I support issues such as the NRA's
"No-Net Loss".
I believe in individual responsibility and private property rights. Our country
was founded on these principles and I will work tirelessly to preserve them.
Affordable health-care is a
goal we all share. My experience as a business owner that works in the health-care industry allows me to have first
hand knowledge of the intricacies associated with this national issue. I believe our health-care system needs more competition
and that the ultimate consumers of health-care; you, need more control. I am a proponent of transparency so that
you know what the costs really are. You and your doctor should be making your medical decisions, not politicians
and insurance executives.
As a fiscal conservative, I have voted numerous times to cut expenditures. I believe
the government must be held accountable for its' expenditures and like a business or family budget, we can not spend more
than we have. My efforts led to the City of Beavercreek passing a balanced budget and if elected as your next State
Representative, I will continue those efforts in Columbus.
