I believe...

• state government should be as small as possible.
   
• in the adage of former Speaker Tip O'Neill, "all politics is local."
   
• a State Representative should have previous experience in municipal government and in dealing with the issues closest to the taxpayer.
   
• taxes should be value-based and therefore always weighed against the test of value received for the dollar paid.
   
• in a part-time citizen-legislature form of government as was intended by our forefathers.  Too much time involved in government yields too much government.
   
• in basic Republican principles of free enterprise, smaller government, less tax burden, and family values.
   
• a state legislator should be someone with a track record of getting things done.
   
• the experience of owning and running a small business is invaluable in understanding the principles of running government.
   
• that common sense is a great virtue for a public servant.
